If attending charity galas and going to designer ateliers for fittings is your idea of being a "real housewife," then we know a certain cable channel that would like to hear from you.

Jill Zarin -- Worst
Bangs become a riskier and riskier proposition as we get older. Here, Zarin's bangs are too short and severe, seeming totally unrelated to the rest of her tragically '80's hairstyle. Plus, a sweetheart neckline with a rouched bust never looked good, even on "Dynasty."

Zarin's longer, softer, more graceful bangs are flattering and draw attention to her eyes. Smooth sleek hair with just a touch of wave at the ends showcases her stunning shiny haircolor. And a scoop neckline is chic and timeless.

Alex McCord -- Worst
"Howdy partner. What's yer pleasure?" Seems most of the "Housewives" could use a seminar in age-appropriate dressing. Combine her dark brassy roots with a bustier that would be more at home in a saloon, and McCord is ready to join the cast of "Deadwood."
