‘RHOP’ Star Stacey Rusch Lands on Vanity Fair’s Favorite Performances of 2025 List

Real Housewives of Potomac breakout star Stacey Rusch is officially having a major moment.

The second-season cast member has been named one of Vanity Fair’s Favorite Performances of 2025, earning high praise for her presence on the Bravo hit series. In its write-up, the publication credits Rusch for delivering one of the most unintentionally funny, dramatic, and divisive performances on reality television this year.

According to Vanity Fair, the former QVC host brings “authentically daffy and genuinely delusional” energy to RHOP, with an unmatched ability to turn nearly every moment into high drama. The outlet even pointed to her now-viral QVC appearances as proof that she was “born to talk on camera, extemporaneously, at length.”

The feature also notes that while many of her castmates may appear annoyed by her on the show, that very reaction has only made her more compelling to viewers. As Rusch herself famously declares, “But still I rise.” With this latest honor, Stacey Rusch has clearly moved beyond rookie status and into full-fledged reality TV star territory.
