Racquel Chevremont is the new housewife on The Real Housewives of New York. She’s been gracing the other side of the camera since the 90s, and is now making history as the second queer housewife.
Model and advisor, Racquel, is joining Jenna Lyons on The Real Housewives of New York City. One of Racquel’s first beauty campaigns was for top brand, Bobbi Brown, back in 1998.
Racquel Chevremont joins RHONY cast
Racquel Chevremont featured in rumors she was joining RHONY from March, but she’s now officially been spotted in season 15 promo. She has been friends with Jenna Lyons for years.
She is an art curator, collector and model who attends prestigious events all across the city, so she’ll fit in perfectly! Born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx, Chevremont has Latina roots in her family.
The newbie ventured into the art world over 20 years ago. In 2003, she joined acquisition committees at the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
She’s modelled since the 90s
Racquel has graced beauty campaigns and runways since the 90s, her first being a Bobbi Brown shoot where she claimed they edited out her freckles in 1998. Now 53, she’s not stopping!
She recently walked the runway for Batsheva, under a catwalk for women above 40 years old. Chevremont was first discovered by photographer and model scout Steve Landis for Elite models in 1993.
The Bravo newbie then graced ad campaigns for Benetton, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Fila, L’Oréal, Nivea and International Elle magazine covers. But alongside modelling, she’s passionate about art.
