‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ Cast Parties the Night Away — But 2 Fan-Favorites Are Missing!
The Real Housewives of Miami has seen many cast members come and go. Five mainstays since season 4 of the Bravo reality show, however, have been Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Larsa Pippen, Alexia Nepola, and Julia Lemigova. As the group continues to film season 7, many of the women partied together at the 29th annual InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball. But some were notably missing.
Although we didn’t spot any Bravo cameras filming at the formal affair, Guerdy Abraira and close friend Dr. Nicole Martin were front and center for the festivities. Abraira posted several Instagram photos of her evening, including a bathroom selfie with Dr. Martin, Lisa Hochstein, and two other friends.
In September 2024, Dr. Martin announced she would not return to the Bravo reality show for season 7, citing her priorities of “my health and my family.” Martin, who gave birth to daughter Genevieve in September 2024, explained that she was suffering from “significant postpartum anxiety,” according to Deadline.
In addition to Dr. Martin, the cast has been through several shakeups and dramatic moments. Lea Black and Joanna Krupa never came back after RHOM‘s hiatus in 2014. When the reality show returned in 2021, Abraira, Pippen, and Lemigova joined the cast instead.
Lisa Hochstein and Larsa Pippen both posed on the red carpet before the gala, which has raised more than $42 million since its inception. Something to be celebrated: The Make-A-Wish Ball has granted the wishes of more than 8,400 courageous children facing critical illnesses.
With a “Circo” theme for 2024, guests opted for metallics in saturated colors, like Hochstein’s skintight chrome mini dress. Pippen maintained her sexy ways with a form-fitting black strapless gown. The dress featured a high slit with a sparkly strap holding things together.
Of all the housewives, Lemigova seemed to be having the most fun. The Russian model laughed and posed with RHOM friend Kiki Barth. Fan favorite Lemigova has brought a groundedness to the cast. Barth, who has had the title of “friend” since season 4, has not been elevated to a full-time cast member for season 7.
Two RHOM cast members were missing from the festivities: Alexia Nepola and Stephanie Shojaee. The last thing Nepola posted on social media involved a late October partnership with CLIMA Home, a luxury furniture brand based in Miami.
The newest member of the RHOM cast, Stephanie Shojaee, was also absent from the Make-A-Wish Ball. The president of a Miami development company posted several Instagram stories of herself conducting business in a white mini skirt and suit set. With 533,000 Instagram followers and seemingly unlimited access to designer clothing and private jets, she fits the lifestyle of a real housewife. Time will tell whether she fits in with The Real Housewives of Miami cast.
