Kyle Richards’ Multicolored Pleated Maxi Dress in Italy

Somewhere between a Positano sunset and a Puglia tantrum, Kyle found this dress and the rest of us lost the will to wear navy.

A pleated maxi in a riot of colors — sherbet, citrus, something the Italians have a word for and we don’t — that moves like wind chimes when she walks. The pleats are featherweight, the kind of micro-accordion that whispers against the calf and photographs like money. We last saw this energy on the Amalfi cast trip, the one where Kyle floated through a limoncello lunch while everyone else sweated through linen and grievances (a tale as old as season three). It is resort dressing as soft power: no zippers, no apologies, no Erika-grade chrome.
