The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Mauricio Umansky kicked off Miami Art Week with two familiar faces: Alexia Nepola and Julia Lemigova.
The crossover went down during a star-studded bash hosted by ARI, a U.S. fashion brand that has worked with Mauricio for the past several years. The event was held at the retailer’s South Beach boutique inside 1 Hotel, where Mauricio showed off some of his DJ skills, delivered an impromptu dance performance, and snapped a few photos with The Real Housewives of Miami ladies.

Alexia attended the party in a red off-the-shoulder floor-length dress with ruching and twist details throughout, while Julie showed up in a peach-colored feather top paired with a sleek tuxedo jacket and matching trousers.
Mauricio, of course, stepped out in a full ARI ensemble, made up of black pants, a black tee, and a black blazer. The real estate mogul finished the look with a silver-tone pendant necklace and his signature bracelets.

The party, which included live music by DJ Eliad Cohen and drinks provided by Suburban Life, wasn’t just an Art Basel Miami kickoff event; it was also a celebration of Mauricio’s latest partnership with ARI. The Beverly Hills dad starred in the brand’s winter campaign shot by photographer/videographer Rob Burns. The images showed Mauricio modeling a wide range of designs, including leather biker pants, a few tailored pieces, a head-to-toe denim ensemble, and a two-tone shearling parka with no shirt underneath.
Mauricio spoke about his modeling gig in an interview with People magazine.
“I’m in my 50s, so I’m not trying to be a 20-year-old sexy man,” he said about the photoshoot. “But it’s edgy and sexy… I’ve got a high heel in my face with a leg! I’ve got two girls, one pouring me a drink and one lighting my cigar. It definitely has some lifestyle, and it has some edge.”
How did Kyle Richards react to Mauricio Umansky’s photoshoot?
Mauricio said his estranged wife, Kyle Richards, and their daughters approved of the campaign and made sure to give him flattering feedback while he was on set.
“I texted the whole fam chat. I’m still on the fam chat,” he told the outlet. “We’re all there. I’ll look, and I’ll tell you exactly what [Kyle] said. Let’s look here. Our fam chat’s off the charts, so I got to go back quite a bit.”

“Kyle said, ‘These are great. You look amazing,’” Mauricio said, as he read off his phone. “Alexia said, ‘Super handsome.’ Farrah said, ‘Oh wow, looking great.” Then Kyle said, ‘That one’s the best.’ That’s the one of me taking a sip of the whiskey, holding a cigar in all black. That one was her favorite.”
