        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Leah McSweeney</strong> may be New York City&#8217;s newest &#8220;Housewife,&#8221; but she&#8217;s already got everyone talking.</p><p>The Married to the Mob fashion designer, 37, has turned heads in designer looks like <strong>sheer Ida Klamborn bucket hats</strong> and <strong>Thierry Lasry sunglasses</strong> — both of which swiftly sold out — but Thursday night&#8217;s episode brought McSweeney&#8217;s biggest fashion moment yet: a tube dress covered in Lil&#8217; Kim&#8217;s mugshot.</p><p>McSweeney rocked the <strong>Rxch-designed dress</strong> ($290) to Sonja Morgan&#8217;s fashion show with a neon Saint Laurent purse ($1,650) after <strong>refusing to wear</strong> the <strong>cashmere knit set</strong> ($195.95) Morgan had sent her before the event.</p><p>After the disastrous show, the &#8220;RHONY&#8221; newbie returned the sweatpants, pink fedora and sunglasses to her co-star in a plastic bag.</p><p>Even Dorinda Medley, who previously criticized McSweeney&#8217;s tattoos and streetwear style, admired her look, comparing it to a skirt she once wore with Mao Zedong&#8217;s face all over it.</p><p>Turns out, the love is mutual between McSweeney and Rxch designer Rainey Salih.</p><p>&#8220;I actually was a big fan of her brand, Married to The Mob, during my college years,&#8221; Salih, who watches the Bravo show, told Page Six Style via email after the episode. &#8220;So when she DM&#8217;d me about purchasing the dress, I was stoked. She’s a super sweet and supportive woman. Super inspiring!&#8221;</p><p>Salih added that she saw a major increase in sales on Thursday night, despite McSweeney&#8217;s Lil&#8217; Kim-printed dress being an older style from the Spring 2019 collection.</p><p>Many Twitter users were delighted by the look — and immediately requested that Salih fashion a dress featuring the many mugshots of &#8220;RHONY&#8221; cast members like McSweeney, Luann de Lesseps, Tinsley Mortimer and Sonja Morgan.</p><p>They may just get their wish: &#8220;I&#8217;d totally be down,&#8221; Salih tells us.</p>]]></content:encoded>
