We came, we saw, we spilled tea.
Page Six’s second-annual “Virtual Reali-Tea” Awards, sponsored by Tri-State Cadillac, CoverGirl, Philo and Kahlúa, took over Edison Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night, bringing together some of the most iconic reality stars for a fabulous night of food, drinks and iconic moments in the making.
Hosted by “VRT” stars Danny Murphy and Evan Real, the fan-voted celebration kicked off with a star-studded red carpet and cocktail hour, with more than 60 of TV’s finest from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” “Summer House,” “The Real Housewives,” “Selling Sunset” and more showing off their glitzy outfits for cameras and chatting with a slew of reporters along the way.

The ceremony opened with “Musician of the Year” nominee Scheana Shay bringing a “Vanderpump Rules” classic to the stage with an unforgettable performance of “Good as Gold.”
“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Whitney Rose presented the first award of the night, revealing “Next Gen NYC” fan-favorite Ariana Biermann as this year’s “Breakout Star.”
“Summer House” veteran Kyle Cooke was named “Hot-Tea of the Year,” while “RHOSLC” star Meredith Marks won “Style Icon of the Year” and “Real Housewives of New Jersey” trio Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Dolores Catania took home the award for “Best Return to Screen.”
Giudice joked she had a speech prepared, but had “too much to drink.” After Catania and Gorga spoke, Giudice said they “love, love, love” Murphy and Real.
While Ciara Miller was busy dancing her heart out to “Mariah Carey Night” on “Dancing with the Stars,” Murphy and Real were there to accept the award for “Best Reunion Performance” on her behalf.
And the “Summer House” love didn’t stop there, because Lindsay Hubbard and her daughter, Gemma, won “Best Dynamic Duo.”
As guests sipped their espresso martinis, the official cocktail of the 2026 VRT Awards, Murphy and Real kept the energy high throughout the show, mingling with the starry crowd and stopping to spill the tea with glamorous guests including Hilaria Baldwin, as well as Cooke.
