It feels like only yesterday the RHONY crew was stirring up chaos in Cartagena, but the women are back for another season of martinis, meltdowns, and mayhem. Season 11 of The Real Housewives of New York City promises everything we’ve come to love: sharp-tongued arguments at dinner parties, spontaneous dancing with younger men, friendships forged and fractured on luxury vacations, and, of course, an abundance of JOVANI.
This season brings new faces, some sad goodbyes, and—because no Housewives season would be complete without it—plenty of beauty launches, Palm Beach drama, and wild adventures.
When Does RHONY Season 11 Premiere?
Mark your calendars! The Real Housewives of New York City Season 11 premieres Wednesday, March 6, 2019, at 9/8c on Bravo. Expect the familiar mix of laughter, tears, and champagne-fueled showdowns we’ve come to expect from this legendary franchise.
Ramona Singer’s AGELESS Skincare Finally Launches
For years Ramona has teased fans with the promise of her very own skincare line. And now, it’s officially here. On February 24, 2019, she announced on Instagram that AGELESS by Ramona had officially gone live.
The debut product? The Skin Renewal Serum (1.7oz/50ml for $40). Packed with powerhouse ingredients, this serum promises radiant skin and the kind of glow Ramona herself has been flaunting season after season. I previously broke down the product (and a few similar options) in my Ramona Singer Beauty Secrets post, but let’s just say: if Ramona swears by it, you know she’s serious about results.
Farewell to Carole Radziwill
Not all news is glamorous—this season comes with a goodbye. Carole Radziwill announced last summer that she was leaving the show. In her farewell, she made it clear she was ready to leave behind the “frenemies” dynamic that RHONY thrives on.
Her exit leaves a noticeable gap, especially since Carole never fully revealed her own beauty secrets. Her Instagram feed was often packed with sponsorships (not always clearly labeled—FTC, take note), making it tricky to know what she genuinely used. That said, reports suggest she’s a fan of Dr. Barbara Sturm’s cult-favorite skincare line, beloved by Housewives royalty like Lisa Rinna.
Tinsley Mortimer’s West Palm Beach Moment
If there’s one Housewife who can make French braid pigtails look chic at a strip club, it’s Tinsley Mortimer. Recently, she was spotted dancing to Cardi B at Cheetah Gentleman’s Club in West Palm Beach. The video was adorable and, honestly, a reminder of why Tinsley remains such a fan favorite. Somehow, she always manages to look fresh-faced, bubbly, and a decade younger than she is. Could pigtails really be the secret to eternal youth?
Palm Beach vs. West Palm Beach: The Housewife Divide
Few debates on RHONY get as oddly specific—and oddly entertaining—as the ongoing chatter about Palm Beach versus West Palm Beach. As someone who grew up just a short drive away, let me break down the vibe:
- Palm Beach: Think old-money elegance. This tiny island is where generational wealth thrives, with its storied Worth Avenue shopping, exclusive restaurants, and social circles that have remained unchanged for decades. It’s glamorous, tightly-knit, and dripping with prestige. It’s also where Luann famously stumbled into the wrong hotel room at The Colony, which ended in her now-infamous arrest.
- West Palm Beach: Just across the water, West Palm offers a bigger, livelier, and more accessible scene. It’s got the same beautiful weather and waterfront views, but without the rigid exclusivity. It’s fun, modern, and yes, home to the strip club where Tinsley showed off her dance moves.
The distinction may seem trivial to outsiders, but for Housewives (and anyone who’s lived there), the difference between the two is everything.
The Season Ahead: What’s Next for RHONY?
Judging by the previews, this season is set to be classic RHONY: cocktails flowing, tempers flaring, friendships tested, and plenty of hilarious one-liners. Expect the cast to travel, fight, make up, and fight again—all while dressed impeccably.
We’ll miss Carole’s cool-girl energy, but with Ramona’s skincare hustle, Luann’s never-ending resilience, and Tinsley’s eternal charm, there’s no doubt Season 11 will deliver the drama and fun we’re all here for.
So pour yourself a glass of pinot grigio and settle in. RHONY Season 11 is here to remind us why Bravo’s New York crew will always reign supreme in the Housewives universe.
