Ariana Madix Mistaken For Lala Kent During ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast Trip

Ariana Madix and her long-time boyfriend Tom Sandoval went on a group trip with their cast members. They are in the midst of filming Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules. Last year, production was on halt due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Bravo firings. Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens, and Brett Caprioni all lost their jobs. Also, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright announced their departures from the show.

The remaining cast now includes Ariana, Sandoval, Katie Maloney-Schwartz, Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent, James Kennedy, Raquell Leviss, Scheana Shay, and Charli Burnett. The group went to party in Santa Barbara. Scheana and Ariana took to their respective Instagram pages to share clips and photos from their wild outing. Ariana looked unrecognizable and was mistaken for someone else.

Hey, Ariana Madix, is that you?!

On Friday, July 16, Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix took to social media to share many clips from their cast trip to Santa Barbara. They got there in a party bus complete with a stripper pole. Not surprisingly, some of them had too much to drink, including Charli and Raquel. Scheana shared many clips of herself dancing alongside Ariana on a boat.

Scheana showed off her post-baby body in a beige crochet dress. She wore a yellow floral print bikini underneath. The brunette beauty styled her hair in braided pigtails. As for Ariana, she wore a green silk caftan, which she paired with an orange silk headband, gold hoop earrings, and dark sunglasses. The reality star looked barely recognizable in the videos and photos shown on social media.

This look was unlike anything that Ariana wore before. She looked like her friend, Lala, who wore a black leather blazer over a little black dress. She paired her look with aviator sunglasses and a black paisley print bag. Both blonde ladies had their hair styled the same way. At one point in the videos, Scheana got up to dance with Ariana. Of course, Sandoval couldn’t help himself and had to dance as well.

Vanderpump Rules star mistaken for Lala

Pump Rules Bravo shared the clips on its Instagram page. The caption reads, “The cast commenced filming for their second group trip to Santa Barbara yesterday!” Some fans wondered when the newbies will enter the scene. Others couldn’t help but notice that Ariana Madix looked like Lala Kent.

There were some who loved the glamorous look. They feel that this look better suits her. Users could tell the two apart and weren’t happy to see Lala hanging out with the group. “No Lala please,” one wrote, while another added, “Bye-bye Lala the mean soul karma.” As everyone knows, friends who hang out together, look like each other.

What are your thoughts? Did you also mistake Ariana for Lala? Sound off below in the comments.

Vanderpump Rules Season 9 will air sometime later this year on Bravo.
