Emily Simpson Pokes Fun at Gretchen Rossi’s ‘Pioneer’ Look on RHOC; Describes Her Fashion As Costumes

Emily Simpson is no stranger to sharing her opinions on Real Housewives of Orange County castmates. Whether it’s about personal choices or cast drama, Emily isn’t shy about speaking up. But when it comes to fashion, it’s not typically her lane to criticize, which makes her recent comments about Gretchen Rossi’s wardrobe all the more noteworthy.

Emily recently described co-star Gretchen Rossi’s outfits as “costumes,” pointing out one look that “looks very ‘Little House on the Prairie.’ Like, I thought she was gonna get in a covered wagon and leave the argument.” It’s the kind of bold style Gretchen rocks with confidence, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

Another standout look was described by Emily as “a mix between Hamburglar and Sherlock Holmes.” While these remarks sound like shade, Emily laughs that she and Gretchen have a playful rapport about it telling Page Six, “I say these things to her. Like, we joke. She’ll even make jokes when she puts something on and she’s like, ‘I knew Emily was going to say something.’ Like, you bet I am! It’s fun.”

Interestingly, while Emily isn’t sold on Gretchen’s fashion, she has nothing but admiration for her signature platinum blonde hair.

“It does look healthy. She does have good blond [hair]. You never can see regrowth. I don’t understand that! She must color it weekly because I don’t know how you don’t get any kind of regrowth.” Even so, she can’t resist a little playful jab: “And it doesn’t move! I make fun of it. I call it, like, a helmet. It’s like a Lego, like you just put the hair on. You just wake up, put your Lego hair on all day and it doesn’t move.”

Still, Emily admits, “I think it looks good.”

Wellll Emily, if you had a gram of fashion sense you’d know the prairie look is current. Those styles would absolutely make a big boned girl like Emily look like she couldn’t get her ass out of the cardboard cake she popped from but, Gretchen wears them well. So Shuddup.

I love their banter in good fun. I really have always liked Gretchen, not at all Tamara for all the reasons we're all aware of.

Emily has no business critiquing any of those broads’ fashion choices. IJS. I mean, she owns a mirror, right? IJS. ?

She and PeeWee are probably afraid of mirrors.

Emily has no right to say anything about anyone's clothes. This chick has been voted worse dressed since she has been on the show.

Emily sweetums, from where I'm sitting, it looks like you're already on thin ground with the fans (most of whom are very excited about Gretchen's return) ... if I were you, I'd stick a sock in it.

I would hate to have to put that much make up on each day...I used to but now Im going the Pam Anderson route...

Love PA's new "serious actreese" look, but I thought she took it too far when she started showing up at formal events wearing $20K couture, but with no makeup. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0dd21aa9b10979ee79ba40dfbb7ef030d3b0edc10ea851896ce535a4cbb406d0.png

Sorry, not sorry b*tch is AT LEAST a decade late tryna pull off ‘no make up but still hot’ thang. Um no. She looks beat. That’s just my honest opinion. Rode hard and put away wet. Peeps wouldn’t be racking up all the virtue signaling points by giving her insincere compliments about looking great if she hadn’t gone on the MASSIVE PR campaign she did about it too. ? Now that people know there’s some schmaltzy self esteem politically correct (pr orchestrated) bs to glom onto, they’re eating it up with a spoon. But Pam gets that ego buffed. ?

Talk about massive campaigns ... would have been hilarious if Pammy nabbed that Oscar for The Last Showgirl, but unfortunately, Demi Moore edged her out as the "comeback" odds on favorite. Too bad they both lost.
