Aussie Below Deck star Francesca Rubi stuns with glam makeover

Aussie Below Deck star Francesca Rubi shows off her VERY glam makeover on Watch What Happens Live

Viewers have become used to seeing Below Deck’s Francesca Rubi looking frazzled and overworked on the hit reality series.

But this week, the Sydney-based star got seriously glammed up for an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Instead of tying her hair in a messy bun like usual, the stunning stewardess had her hair styled in beachy waves.

She wore a semi-sheer designer cocktail frock with ruffled sleeves and accessorised with a gold statement necklace.

It was a far cry from her appearance on Below Deck, where Francesca is often burned out and picking up the slack from her subordinates like Elizabeth Frankini.

The blonde beauty joined the popular Bravo series this season, taking over for long-time cast member Kate Chastain as Chief Stewardess.

Fan favourite Kate starred on Below Deck from season two through to season seven, eventually becoming one of Bravo’s most popular personalities. 

She announced her departure from the show in April, making way for newcomer Francesca to step in as her replacement. 

Francesca isn’t the only Australian joining Below Deck this season, with Kiwi-Aussie Izzy Wouters also joining as a stewardess.

Izzy was born in New Zealand, but was raised in Australia from the age of four.

Gold Coast bombshell Ashling Lorger also joined several episodes into the new season after one of the crew members quit the show due to a family emergency.

Below Deck is currently airing on Bravo in the U.S. and available on Hayu and Foxtel in Australia.
