Gina Kirschenheiter defends polarizing ‘RHOC’ style after ‘hiccup’ confessional look: ‘I have been consistently serving’

Gina Kirschenheiter is defending her polarizing style on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” as fans continue to reel over a recent look she wore in a confessional. 

“I’m not even going to lie. I loved it. When I looked in the mirror, I was like, ‘This is my favorite interview look of all time. I look good!’” the reality star, 40, tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” while promoting her back-to-school partnership with Clorox.

“Like, I was really feeling it,” she continues, raving over the metallic Noam minidress that has apparently incensed fans. “I had worn that already to a party and I literally texted my producers and I was like, ‘I feel so good in this, I feel like myself, I wanna wear this in my interview chair.’”

Gina Kirschenheiter tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” about a recent style “hiccup” on “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” Page Six The Bravolebrity wore a metallic Noam minidress paired with a teased bob that garnered negative fan feedback. Bravo

“I think it was the gold reflecting that kind of washed me out, it was the angle a little bit, you know, extra volume on that head,” she says, acknowledging her larger-than-life bob with a deep side part. “So, I don’t know.”

While the New York native’s hairstyle was met with a stream of negative online reactions, she still has an affinity for the statement-making ‘do.

It has become a trope among “RHOC” enthusiasts to come for Kirschenheiter’s sartorial choices and perceived beauty blunders — particularly in regards to her ill-fastened hair extensions of the past — but she believes that her personal style is progressing.  

“The one thing that I would like to communicate to everybody is that … I understand that maybe I’ve had my moments in the past but I have been … consistently serving for a few years now,” states the blond beauty, who joined “RHOC” in 2018’s Season 13.

“This is just one little hiccup but it’s not a setback, all right?” 

Kirschenheiter first addressed her glimmering getup and accompanying teased coif in a TikTok shared Monday.

“I just want to hop on here and let you all know I get it, I hear you. I see what you see honestly. I understand you don’t like this interview look and when I saw the episode prior to it airing, I said, ‘That doesn’t look great,’” she said.

However, the Bravolebrity emphasized that she “actually really [loves] the whole outfit” and believes that “it actually looks pretty great” offscreen. 

“But I’m not going to defend myself and I see what you see,” she concluded. “And the bottom line is you can’t land every plane. So I can just promise you I get it and I will hopefully do better next time — can’t even really promise that.”
