During an exclusive interview with BravoTV.com backstage, Dorit shared that her reunion outfit was important this year considering what it symbolized: her return to more adventurous fashion after her traumatic home invasion in 2021.

"The style [is] who I am, for sure, but pre-home invasion; more really having fun with fashion," Dorit shared about her Schiaparelli red gown that featured a hood-like detail and billowy sleeves

She continued: "The last couple of years, I feel like I found myself feeling like I wanted to be covered up a lot, and I think it mirrored what was happening inside of me; the vulnerability, and the fear, and a lot of the things that are associated with some of the feelings that I've had. I had some [fashion] moments, but I wasn't taking too many risks."

In addition to her backstage details, Dorit also noted she was going for a "fashion-forward" and "monochromatic" style that had a "surrealist" vibe. To get the look, the mom of two paired her statement-making sheath with red platform Balmain heels, Bottega Veneta jewelry, and thanked Steven Tabimba for her glam and Justine Marjan for her slicked back hair look.
