Season 2

The elite circle rallies to plan a high-profile charity gala close to Jill Zarin's heart, using the monumental effort to welcome effortlessly chic former model Kelly Killoren Bensimon into the fold. However, Kelly's reluctance to officially attach her name to the event sparks a biting cold war with an intensely driven Bethenny Frankel, even as Luann de Lesseps attempts to mentor the bohemian newcomer in the rigid ways of Manhattan philanthropy. Meanwhile, Ramona Singer and Jill’s blunt disagreements over gala planning boil over into a bitter personal rivalry on the tennis court, just as a socially recalibrating Alex McCord tries to balance the demanding event with her career.
