Some \u201cReal Housewives of Miami\u201d stars had a mini-reunion on Saturday, just a few days after news broke<\/a> the show was going on hiatus.<\/p>\n

Alexia Nepola, Marysol Patton and Julia Lemigova were on hand at New You Media\u2019s award ceremony for influencers in the beauty industry and beyond at 1 Hotel South Beach. Attendees included fellow \u201cHousewives,\u201d former model Cynthia Bailey from Atlanta, and stylist extraordinaire Rachel Zoe, from Beverly Hills. Other celebs from all walks of life included makeup guru Patrick Ta; TV personality Jeannie Mai; Kardashian pal Foodgod; and actor Jesse Metcalfe.<\/p>\n

Nepola, dressed in a floor-length lemon yellow dress, picked up a trophy for being a \u201ctastemaker.\u201d The Bravolebrity was honored for both her resilience as a mom and brawn as a business owner. In 2017, the Miami native opened Alexia + Frankie\u2019s nail salon in Surfside with her younger son who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident in 2011 at age 13.<\/p>\n

On Instagram, the OG she shared a few snippets from her big day, with a few castmates who couldn\u2019t make it showing their support.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations, gorgeous!\u201d commented Kiki Barth.<\/p>\n

\u201cSissys for life,\u201d wrote Lisa Hochstein. \u201cGoooo broooo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lemigova, who shared some heart-faced emojis, told the Miami Herald she was glad she could be there in the flesh.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be out and about,\u201d said the onetime beauty queen who is married to Martina Navratilova.<\/p>\n

As for what she thought about the locally shot series taking a break, Lemigova said it was a \u201ccomplete shock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had no idea,\u201d admitted the mother of four who is still extremely busy, but turning her attention to other endeavors.<\/p>\n

Last year at this time, Lemigova starred in Florida Grand Opera\u2019s \u201cCarmen<\/a>,\u201d Georges Bizet\u2019s tragedy of a gypsy turned freedom fighter. Though the Moscow native didn\u2019t sing, she wants that to change. \u201cI developed a real passion for opera and am working really hard, so not filming \u2018Housewives\u2019 gives me more time in the day to devote to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Patton, she wouldn\u2019t miss seeing Nepola get some props for the world:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know Alexia has a true love for fashion,\u201d said the publicist turned Mama Elsa caviar founder. \u201cShe embodies beauty and style in everything she does. I\u2019m so happy for my bestie. No one deserves this more than her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexia Napola attends the NEW YOU Beauty Awards 2026 at 1 Hotel South Beach on March 28, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212054,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[97012,97013,123,125,124,50594],"class_list":["post-212053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-alexia-nepola","tag-marysol-patton","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-real-housewives-of-miami"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
