For fashionista Rachel Zoe, reality TV is back in style.

The longtime star of The Rachel Zoe Project is returning to Bravo this year, as the newest addition to the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Zoe, 53, told Us Weekly that she was “beyond excited to be returning home to Bravo.”

“I’ve been living my best, new life and it felt like the perfect time to come back to TV and share it all with you,” she said.

Zoe’s return to Bravo comes more than a decade after her eponymous reality series ended. The Rachel Zoe Project aired from September 2008 to April 2013, showcasing Zoe’s celeb-studded world as she worked as a stylist and fashion designer.

Zoe announced the happy news by posting a picture of herself in a long lace dress with text that said “The Rumors Are True...”

“It’s official, I am coming back to Bravo,” she said in an accompanying video clip. “It’s been awhile, and you’ve been asking me to come back to television,” she continued. “And I said when the stars align, or it makes sense, or I have enough to say to share with all of you—and now is the time.”

Zoe will be joining an occasionally chic but always chaotic group of co-stars for the show’s fifteenth season—Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke and Bozoma Saint John.

Season 14 of "RHOBH" included Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and Bozoma Saint John.

Actress Garcelle Beauvais, who had been a fan favorite Real Housewife over the past five seasons, had a falling out with the cast during their most recent reunion and announced she was leaving the show in March.

“Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know I might pop back in some time,” she said as she departed.

Zoe has also recently experienced some personal drama. In September, she announced her divorce from her husband Rodger Berman, after 26 years of marriage. The pair share two sons: 14-year-old Skyler and 11-year-old Kaius.

“We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together,” she wrote about the split on Instagram. “Our number one priority has been and will always be our children.”
