Paige DeSorobo clapped back at critics who called her out for wearing a sheer, lace dress to a wedding last month.
The “Summer House” star, 31, defended her decision to wear the sexy ensemble to her friend’s French nuptials during an appearance on the “LadyGang” podcast Tuesday.
“I could defend it all day long,” she said. “First and foremost, I was in Saint-Tropez. I wasn’t at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. So it was a very different type of wedding.”
DeSorbo explained that there were “acrobatic dancers inside of flower petals” and other elaborate features at the lavish black-tie event.

“It was not a typical wedding,” she explained. “And the couple that got married — my girlfriend Alexa and her now-husband Wilton — [are] easily one of the most stylish couples I have ever been around. They just look good. They look like a model couple.”
DeSorbo noted that her friend is a stylist and “all about the glitz and glamour” — and expected the same from her guests.
“I was maybe one of 15 girls that was in sheer dresses — also because that’s like trendy,” she added.
The reality TV star said she would “have never worn” the see-through design to a wedding in America and got the stamp of approval from friends and even the bride before choosing it.
“So I sent it to all of my girlfriends who were also going to the wedding and we were sending all of our dresses in a group chat and not a single person batted an eye,” she said. “One of the other girls was in a completely sheer [dress] that had like green sparkles on it so I was like, ‘Oh we are so good.'”
DeSorbo clarified that the bride “loved” her look and that everyone in the wedding party also dressed to impress.
“But I loved that dress,” she concluded. “I stick by it and again it just proved to me that not a lot of people have been to a wedding in the South of France and for that I apologize to them.”
“I’m upset for you,” she joked.
DeSorbo stirred up controversy at the beginning of July after she posted photos from the glitzy weekend on Instagram.
“The most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to,” she captioned the carousel, which gave fans a close look at the black dress. The gown featured a boned corset top and a see-through, lace skirt with a thigh-high slit.
Although DeSorbo insisted that she didn’t commit a wedding faux pas, she suggested that a few other guests did.
The Bravo star said she saw a couple of girls wearing extremely light colors while attending the pre-wedding functions.
“We had like different lunches and stuff and I saw a lot of girls wearing white,” DeSorbo said. “Like to do different wedding events.”
DeSorbo said one woman even wore a super “pale yellow” dress to the actual wedding that looked more like “ivory.”
“And I looked at her up and down and I was like you should be ashamed of yourself,” she said. “Never did I think people were going to be doing the exact same thing to me!”
