Ariana Madix Pumps Up the Red Carpet with Her Sexy Style at DIRECTV and PEOPLE's Reality TV Celebration

Ariana Madix is channeling her star power.

The 39-year-old Vanderpump Rules star arrived to host the DIRECTV reality TV celebration in a long black dress that featured see-through, and glitter stripes. The design gave a peek at her toned midsection and black bottoms that she wore under her dress.

For the Thursday, Sept. 26 event, which took place at The Aster hotel in Los Angeles, Madix also wore silver accessories, including a bracelet and ring. Her hair was pulled into a high bun. She wore natural-looking makeup.

Hosted alongside PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly, the event drew a number of fellow reality stars including Scheana Shay, Kathy Hilton, Joey Graziadei and more.

Madix has been making a splash with another hosting gig. In 2024, she became the permanent host of Love Island USA, where she's brought not only her signature wit to the show but her impeccable style.

The star heated up the reality dating series with a slew of daring looks — of which, she previously told PEOPLE ahead of the season 6 finale, she "can't pick a favorite."

She did, however, call out the sexy gold cutout Di Petsa dress she wore for the show's premiere episode, where she made her debut as host. "It was so cool, fun, and absolutely beautiful," the star said of the design. "There are rose quartz crystals on it, and everything about it is just amazing."

Madix worked with her stylist Emily Men on her Love Island looks.

"Being able to work with Emily, she's able to actually find these things that I've always loved and source them," the star said. "If I'm left to my own devices, I'll maybe second-guess to the point where it's like, 'Okay, well now the moment's passed.'"

On Aug, 27, Madix finished a second stint on Broadway taking on the role of murderous adulterer Roxie Hart in the iconic, Tony-winning revival of Chicago. Her initial 10-week run in Broadway's longest-running American musical — which began in January and wrapped in April — , broke box office records during four different weeks.

As for her return to the reality TV scene, Vanderpump Rules is on a planned production hiatus ahead of its upcoming 12th season.
