She’s back!
After much speculation, “Ladies of London” alum Caroline Stanbury is set to make her anticipated reality TV return in “The Real Housewives of Dubai.”
Bravo dropped the new reality show’s first teaser Friday along with its premiere date and cast.
In the glossy, high-production clip, Stanbury, 45, along with fellow franchise newbies Nina Ali, Chanel Ayan, Caroline Brooks, Lesa Milan and Dr. Sara Al Madani, walk through a windy desert in glamorous metallic gowns before stopping in front of the City of Gold’s iconic skyline.
“They’re taking Dubai by storm,” a tagline reads onscreen.
According to the cast bios for “RHODubai,” the women come from all different countries with varying life experiences to make up an eclectic group that is apparently ready to set the United Arab Emirates on fire.
Of course, Bravo fans know Stanbury from “Ladies of London,” on which she starred for three seasons from 2014 until 2017. The luxury brand ambassador and “Divorced Not Dead” podcast host — who shares three children with ex-husband Cem Habib — relocated from the UK to Dubai, where she now lives with her husband, former Real Madrid soccer player Sergio Carrallo, 27.
However, Stanbury’s bio states that “marrying someone much younger comes with its own set of challenges, especially around the topic of expanding their family.”
Ayan, considered Dubai’s first black supermodel, “is a glamorous socialite known for her elegance and enviable style” and is known as “a boss on and off the runway,” her bio says.
“While running her successful talent agency, she is juggling motherhood and a highly anticipated makeup and skincare launch.”
In her inaugural season, Ayan is apparently “confronted by demons from both her past and present” and “realizes she can only hide behind couture for so long.”
Ali, who was born in Lebanon but raised in Texas, is a lifestyle content creator who moved to Dubai in 2011 with her husband, Munaf.
“After facing significant challenges growing up, Nina values authenticity and prides herself on being the ‘real deal,’ especially when it comes to raising her three children,” her bio reads. “Though she is supportive of her husband’s lucrative business endeavors, they must decide if the penthouses and personal drivers are worth the many sacrifices.”
The Boston-born Brooks is “a proud first generation American and Afro-Latina with an appetite for business that is larger than life,” her bio notes.
“With the nickname Caroline DXB, she is well-known in the Dubai real estate world and dreams of opening an inclusive spa. Self-made and hyper-driven, she will use any connections — including her ex-husband’s — to cement her and her son’s future.”
Jamaica native Milan is said to be “living out her dreams in Dubai as a successful fashion designer, devoted wife and loving mother to three.”
The former Miss Jamaica is referred to as the “queen of her household” and prioritizes her family above everything, so her bio states. “[She] is proud of her luxury maternity fashion line Mina Roe, but fears the success of her brand may come at the cost of her personal life.”
The UAE-born-and-raised Dr. Sara Al Madani rounds out the “Dubai” cast.
“[She] straddles two worlds: modern and traditional. After starting her first business at the early age of 15, Sara has become a prolific public speaker and inspiration to young women in the region,” her bio says. “Despite all her success, this twice-divorced mom of one is intent on finding the one thing that’s missing in her life: love.”
Bravo announced Dubai as the 11th city in the “Real Housewives” world in November 2021.
“The Real Housewives of Dubai” premieres Wednesday, June 1, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
