Are wedding bells ringing?
Amanda Batula’s buttery yellow “Summer House” Season 10 reunion outfit may have caught fans’ attention for its similarities to what former BFF Ciara Miller previously wore, but the details may tell a different story.
Batula’s stylists, Daniel O’Connell and Alix Gropper, posted details of the look on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing that the reality star wore a custom ensemble by bridal brand Celine Meiszler.
The demi-couture brand sells romantic wedding dresses, most of which feature corsets like the one Ms. Batula wore under a sheer cloak. The brand’s lace-up tops cost around $2,500, and gowns cost upwards of $10,000.
Batula wore a thin cape over her upper body and a semi-sheer skirt that hung low at the bottom, revealing peek-a-boo underwear at her hips.
It’s a far cry from the simple A-line spaghetti strap dress from Amsale that the bikini designer, 34, wore to her 2021 wedding to estranged husband Kyle Cook.
However, there was another hidden connection in her marriage. At the reunion, Batula wore jewelry by Stephanie Gottlieb, the same designer who created Cook’s 2.5-carat cushion-cut engagement ring in 2018.
During part two of Tuesday’s reunion, Batula and boyfriend West Wilson fielded questions from Cook and Miller about their secret romance, which became public in March.
There were also veiled references to Wilson and Batula’s future, with Miller joking that they might perform a song by co-star Jesse Soloman about falling in love with your best friend at a future wedding.
Meanwhile, Batula and Cook have not yet filed for divorce after announcing their separation in January. Page Six exclusively reported that the Lover Boy founder, 43, is letting his ex-girlfriend take the reins to start the paperwork, as she is the one in the new relationship.
