Every now and then, an interview comes along that feels like a true peek behind the curtain—and this one is too good not to share. Lauryn Evarts Bosstick, the powerhouse behind The Skinny Confidential blog and podcast, recently had the rare opportunity to tour none other than Patricia Altschul’s iconic Charleston home and sit down with her for a podcast chat.
If you’re a Bravo fan, you already know Patricia. She’s the queen bee of Southern Charm, equal parts wit, elegance, and timeless glamour. And with the show returning for its sixth season, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. But the real highlight? Lauryn didn’t just sip martinis with Patricia (though we wouldn’t be surprised if they did)—she got an up-close look inside Miss Patricia’s dressing room. And let me tell you, it was everything we dreamed it would be.
Lauryn Meets Patricia: A Match Made in Skincare Heaven
Lauryn is known for her love of details, especially when it comes to beauty and skincare. If you follow her, you know she doesn’t just stop at product recommendations—she dives deep into routines, techniques, and behind-the-scenes habits that keep her guests looking their best.
So naturally, when she stepped into Patricia’s dressing room, she went straight for the good stuff. Think classic vanity glamour meets insider skincare secrets, all filtered through Patricia’s signature sharp humor and no-nonsense style.
And yes, Lauryn shared it all on her Instagram stories (@theskinnyconfidential), so if you missed it live, it was the kind of content that made you wish Instagram had a rewind button.
Patricia Altschul: The Southern Charm Matriarch
For anyone new to the Bravo universe, Patricia Altschul is more than just a cast member—she’s the breakout star of Southern Charm. With her caftans, martinis, and quick-witted one-liners, she’s become a cultural icon. She embodies a mix of Southern sophistication and modern edge, a combination that makes her endlessly fascinating.
While the rest of the cast often finds themselves tangled in drama, Patricia remains unbothered, sipping her drink from a silver tray while delivering perfectly timed commentary. She’s proof that style, grace, and a sharp sense of humor never go out of fashion.
The Dressing Room Reveal
Now, let’s talk about the dressing room—because this was the moment that had skincare lovers (and frankly, Bravo fans everywhere) glued to their screens.
Patricia’s dressing room is exactly what you’d expect: elegant, curated, and filled with beauty treasures. But what made it special was hearing her share the products and rituals that have kept her looking so radiant. While Lauryn didn’t gatekeep a thing—she spilled the details straight to her audience—it wasn’t just about the products. It was about the philosophy Patricia brings to beauty.
She embraces quality, consistency, and a little indulgence. It’s not about chasing every trend, but about knowing what works, sticking to it, and enjoying the ritual of getting ready. That’s a lesson in itself.
Why This Collaboration Worked So Well
What makes Lauryn and Patricia such a fun pairing is their shared obsession with the little details. Lauryn is endlessly curious, asking the questions we all want answered, while Patricia delivers her insights with the sharp humor we’ve come to expect from her on-screen persona.
The result? A conversation that felt equal parts informative and entertaining. You get skincare tips, a glimpse into a glamorous Charleston lifestyle, and enough personality to keep you smiling long after the episode ends.
Southern Charm Returns
Of course, all of this comes just as Southern Charm gears up for its sixth season premiere. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, wondering what new drama awaits in Charleston. And while Patricia doesn’t dive into the mess herself, her commentary always adds the perfect finishing touch to the show. She’s like the narrator we never knew we needed—glamorous, slightly mischievous, and always in control.
The Takeaway
