From the beginning of the Housewives franchise back in 2006, the Bravo ladies have all gone through multiple transformations both in their looks and in their business ventures. Let's see where they all are now, while reminding ourselves just how far they have come.
Tamra Barney

Third time marrying is (hopefully) a charm for OC's Tamra Barney!

Back in the beginning of her days on Real Housewives, Tamra seemed to have it all together, but we've seen her go through some rough times.
Nene Leakes

Divorced and remarried, from Celebrity Apprentice to Glee, it seems like there is no stopping NeNe now!

And from her beginnings on RHOA, a lot more than just NeNe's hair has changed (for the better)!
Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny made the jump from reality TV to talk show host and she manages to juggle it all and still leave time for daughter, Bryn.

But back then? Bethenny was single, had no kids, and was a budding entrepreneur.
Vicki Gunvalson

OC's Vicki Gunvalson remains a workaholic, but is now single and a doting grandmother to baby Troy.

The original housewife, even Vicki couldn't have predicted where she'd end up!
Luann De Lesseps

Who knows what the future now holds for this newly-single housewife of NYC?

Countess LuAnn began on RHONY teaching us all about elegance and chic-ness.
Lauri Peterson

Lauri Peterson is still living out her fairytale, but now she's ready to mix in the RHOC drama.

When we first met Lauri, she was recently divorced and facing financial issues. That's all in the past now!
Kim Richards

Today, Kim Richards from RHOBH looks healthier and happier than ever...

But as a former child star, Kim suffered, admittedly, from being an alcoholic when she first joined the show.
Jacqueline Laurita

Jacqueline from RHONJ has had her fair share of trouble when it comes to her children, from Ashlee's rebellious stage to her son Nicholas' autism.

And look how different she looked back in season 1! Jacqueline has been open about the plastic surgery she's had done recently, but we think she looks great either way.
Kim Zolciak

And look how young she looked back in the day! Does Big Poppa ring any bells?
