Paige DeSorbo isn’t just a fashion influencer—she’s a style risk-taker who knows how to shut down a red carpet. The “Summer House” alum, 32, made jaws drop at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards on July 17, 2025, in a look that fans immediately compared to a classic Audrey Hepburn style. But DeSorbo quickly corrected the record: her inspiration was full-on Italian glam.
Paige DeSorbo Stuns in Sophia Loren-Inspired Look at Las Culturistas Awards
In a TikTok posted after the event, DeSorbo revealed that her now-viral look was inspired by none other than Sophia Loren. “It was giving Sophia, not Audrey,” she said with a wink, addressing the flurry of Hepburn comparisons in her Instagram comments.
For the Las Culturistas Awards, held at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, DeSorbo wore a dramatic black gown with a sheer overlay, long gloves, and a sleek updo. Fans went wild in the comment section of her Instagram post, calling it her best look yet. “You actually ate and left no crumbs,” one follower wrote. Another declared, “You win the carpet. Everyone else go home.”
Her fellow former Bravoleb, Stassi Schroeder, even weighed in, writing, “PAIGE Your best look yet. Blown away!!!”
This isn’t the first time DeSorbo has been crowned a style star. From her “fashion expert” job title in early “Summer House” seasons to her iconic Giggly Squad live show looks, she continues to bring high fashion into Bravo’s orbit—and now beyond.
Did the Former ‘Summer House’ Star’s Recent Vacation Inspire Her Latest Look?
DeSorbo’s Italian-inspired elegance isn’t just reserved for the red carpet. On a recent trip to Italy, the podcast host and influencer brought her signature style to the Amalfi coast, posting a photo in a pale pink swimsuit, sheer wrap, and wide-brimmed straw hat with the caption: “My version of ‘The White Lotus’.” Now, fans are manifesting a Mike White cameo for season 4.
But fashion wasn’t the only thing making headlines on her trip. According to DeuxMoi, DeSorbo was spotted walking hand-in-hand through Capri with rumored boyfriend Joe D’Amelio. While she hasn’t hard-launched the relationship on social media, sources told Us Weekly the two are “very much together.”
“It took a few months for Paige to warm up to being in another relationship again,” the insider shared. “But she moved on after Craig and is genuinely happy.”
DeSorbo split from “Southern Charm” star Craig Conover in late 2024 after three years of dating. Since then, friends say she’s found a more grounded connection with D’Amelio, a marketing executive. “Joe is calm, low-key, and exactly what Paige needed,” the source added.
