Kyle Richards' style evolution since befriending lesbian 'lover' Morgan Wade as star ditches Barbie pink housewife look for ultra-grunge style

   

Kyle Richards sparked further speculation she is having a lesbian relationship with singer Morgan Wade after the pair put on a cozy display on Thursday.

Richards, 54 - who has vehemently denied being in a lesbian 'affair' with Wade, 28 - drew attention as the pair donned near-identical outfits as they stopped for coffee and sightseeing in Buellton, California.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star has undergone a striking style transformation since igniting her friendship with Wade - swapping out her glamorous tailored suits and gowns for a grungy style favored by Wade.

In the beginning of her reality show career, the former child star - who is separated from husband Mauricio Umansky - was known for her penchant for a colorful blazer, jeans and heels before switching to ballgowns and chic co-ords.

However, the star has now swapped her vertiginous shoes for sneakers as she adopts a style eerily similar to that of Wade's.
