Rihanna's All-Time Favorite Real Housewife Might Surprise You

Real Housewives superfan Rihanna revealed which cities are her favorite to watch and the unexpected Bravo star she loves the most.

Rihanna is revealing her favorite cities under the Real Housewives umbrella (ella, ella).

"Always Salt Lake City," the singer exclusively confessed to E! News’ Francesca Amiker during Savage X Fenty's exclusive Nordstrom preview celebrating the debut of the Lavish Lace collection Oct. 10. "They had such a swinging opening season that knocked me off my feet."

When it came to the 36-year-old's instant attraction to the RHOSLC cast, she explained, "Because it takes a while to get used to or know who the characters are really, truly," but not with the women of Utah. "They just knocked it out of the park," she added. "You never know what's coming wit them."

Ri-Ri added she also dies for the new Real Housewives of New York City cast members. As she noted, "People don't really appreciate their flight.

As for Rihanna's favorite Real Housewife of all time?

"Jenna Lyons," she said of the RHONY star, who joined the franchise during season 14 last year. "I don’t want to be generalized, but I love her!"

While some Bravo fans might be surprised the Savage x Fenty designer didn't pick a more legacy star—like RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel, longtime Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes or Real Housewives of Beverly Hills O.G. Kyle Richards—Jenna actually makes perfect sense given they share a passion for fashion and have both left major marks on the industry. (Jenna is former President and Executive Creative Director of J.Crew Group and has spent decades working in the fashion industry.)

As for what Rihanna is busy doing when she's not binging Housewives these days? Preparing for the holidays with A$AP Rocky and their sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 14 months.

“I built up the nerve to do trick or treating at strangers’ houses,” she joked of their Halloween plans. "I’m actually going to learn to bake cookies, because I want to make ghost cookies. If I get through that, I’ll feel like I won for October.”

Keep reading to see where Jenna lands on E!'s official ranking of every Real Housewife ever.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DC, Catherine Ommanney, Stacie Turner, Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Michaele Salahi — 153-156. *The Real Housewives of D.C.*

Bravo's ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation's capital brought together four women so forgettable you'd be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are **Mary Amons**, **Lynda Erkiletian**, **Cat Ommanney** and **Stacie Scott Turner—**and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

Kimberly Bryant, The Real Housewives of Orange County — 152. Kimberly Bryant, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

Who?

Tammy Knickerbocker, Real Housewives of Orange County — 151. Tammy Knickerbocker, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

Vaguely familiar, but...

DeShawn Snow, Real Housewives of Atlanta — 150. DeShawn Snow, *The Real Housewives of Atlanta*

Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as **NeNe Leakes**. Surprising, we know.

Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 15 — 149. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the *Orange County* table.

Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, RHOSLC — 148. Jennie Nguyen, *The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City*

Utah's newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after "offensive" and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.

Quinn Fry, Real Housewives of Orange County — 147. Quinn Fry, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

Her defining trait was "cougar."

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 16 Cast Photos, RHOC — 146. Jen Armstrong, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband **Ryne** (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows' insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 Cast — 145: Annemarie Wiley, *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*

The nurse anesthetist's flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate.

Real Housewives of Potomac, Katie Rost — 144. Katie Rost, *The Real Housewives of Potomac*

Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but...didn't do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A *Housewives* no-no.

The Real Housewives of Potomac, Charrisse Jackson Jordan — 143. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, *The Real Housewives of Potomac*

Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife...that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta, RHOA, Shamari Devoe — 142. Shamari DeVoe, *The Real Housewives of Atlanta*

A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

Peggy Sulahian, Real Housewives of Orange County — 141. Peggy Sulahian, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn't understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn't really cut out for this *Real Housewives* life.

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 8 Cast Photos — 140. Nneka Ihim, *The Real Housewives of Potomac*

Instead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka's first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy's mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 16 Cast Photos, RHOC, Noella Bergener — 139. Noella Bergener, *The Real Housewives of Orange County*

Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband **James** up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we'll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.

Siggy Flicker, Real Housewives of New Jersey, RHONJ — 138. Siggy Flicker, *The Real Housewives of New Jersey*

From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we're not sure we've ever seen a quicker *Real Housewives* fall from grace than this one.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Eva Marcille — 137. Eva Marcille, *RHOA*

The *America's Next Top Model* veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of *RHOA,* aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of **Marlo Hampton** while in Tokyo, though.

136. Karent Sierra, *The Real Housewives of Miami*

All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!

Real Housewives of Miami, Cristy Rice — 135. Cristy Rice,*The Real Housewives of Miami*

This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.

Jules Wainstein, Real Housewives of New York City — 134. Jules Wainstein, *The Real Housewives of New York City*

As one of *RHONY*'s more recent one-and-dones, Jules' tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama.

Teresa Aprea, Nicole Napolitano — 132-133. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, *RHONJ*

So unnecessary they couldn't even get individual taglines.

Amber Marchese, Real Housewives of New Jersey — 131. Amber Marchese, *RHONJ*

Everything Amber and her husband **Jim** did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.

The Real Housewives of Dubai, Nina Ali — 130. Nina Ali, *The Real Housewives of Dubai*

Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars' bigger, louder personalities.

The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Cast Photos — 129. Taleen Marie, *The Real Housewives of Dubai*

Taleen was a perfection addition to *RHODubai*'s sophomore season and we look forward to getting to know her more.

The Real Housewives of Dubai, Sara Al Madani — 128. Sara Al Madani, *The Real Housewives of Dubai*

Sara's positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn't provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her.

Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY, Season: 13, Bravo — 126-127. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, *The Real Housewives of New Jersey*

*RHONJ*'s season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. We'd love to see both return for season 14 for a chance to move up even higher on the list after an entertaining first go-around.

The Real Housewives of Miami Season 4, Larsa Pippen — 125. Larsa Pippen, *The Real Housewives of Miami*

Larsa didn't make a big impression on season one before leaving the series. When Peacock revived *RHOM* for season four in 2021, her whole storyline was about being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian. (and selling sexy feet pics on OnlyFans...)

Ana Quincoces, The Real Housewives of Miami — 124. Ana Quincoces, *The Real Housewives of Miami*

Ana followed up her one season as a Bravolebrity by competing on season 12 of Next Food Network Star in 2016. She didn't make it there, either.

Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, RHOBH, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — 123. Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*

Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a punching bag for **Brandi Glanville**. Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky notion that you can never be too skinny was gross.

122. Cindy Barshop, *The Real Housewives of New York City*

Cindy was supposed to be the new **Bethenny Frankel**. Cindy was no Bethenny Frankel.
