Sutton is a southern debutante

This Georgian native is a real peach at heart, despite her new Beverly Hills roots. As a debutante in Augusta the personality grew up learning all about southern charm—including etiquette and how “ladies” should behave. How that translates on the show remains to be seen, but considering some of the crass scenes of seasons past, there could be plenty of awkward moments as everyone finds their footing as a new cast.

She’s a party-planner extraordinaire

When it comes to planning parties and hosting events, Sutton is one of the best in the biz. She’s known for throwing amazing shindigs, and once made The Salonniere 100, a list of the best party hosts in the U.S. She came in 39th on the list in 2015, and to put things in perspective Barack and Michelle Obama came in 97th. Here’s hoping some of her extravagant parties will be featured on the show.

Sutton and Lisa Rinna are friendsies

It doesn’t hurt when you already know some of your castmates before joining a series, which is a situation Sutton found herself in before joining RHOBH. She and Lisa Rinna go way back, which is always good in terms of acclimatizing to a new situation, but being more familiar with someone can also amp up the drama and cause friction. Either way here’s hoping neither of them hold back when season 10 debuts.

There are plenty of other celebs on Sutton’s phone

Actually, we could all be in for more star sightings this season thanks to Sutton’s real-life celebrity friendships. Living in Beverly Hills and being one of the best party planners gets you places it seems, because Sutton counts some pretty high-profile people in her address book. Her ride-or-die though? That would be actress Jennifer Tilly, who is all over Sutton’s Instagram account.

She’s got three teenagers

Because having cameras capture your every move for TV isn’t dramatic enough, Sutton also counts three teens in her brood: daughter Porter and sons James and Philip Stracke. It’s not quite clear how old they each are, but take one look at this housewife’s Instagram account and it’s clear she’s a proud mama because her kids are featured all over it.

You won’t catch her talking about her husband much

For someone who leads such a public life, Sutton seems to have some clear boundaries in terms of what she keeps personal. Although she’s been married to businessman Christian Stracke since 2000, she rarely talks about her man or even shares many photos of him on social media. Perhaps that’s the key to maintaining a 20-year marriage with children while living in Hollywood. Who knows.

We may see her sing on the show

In a preview of what to expect when Sutton officially makes her debut on RHOBH, the housewife grabbed a microphone and revealed that she’s a karaoke junkie. Like, she will always get up on that stage and belt out a tune whenever the opportunity rises. Considering that little factoid, no one should be surprised if we actually see Sutton climb up on a stage this season.

This housewife supports the arts

Back when Sutton married her beau she was the associate director of development in charge of fundraising for the Cunningham Dance Foundation in New York. Since then she’s never lost her love of dance, and to this day she’s listed as a sponsor of the American Ballet Theatre. Now the real question is what kind of dance moves might the housewife share with viewers if things get a bit rowdy on the series?

Fashion designer is on her resume

In addition to being a swanky host and supporting the arts, Sutton opened a store that boasts her own name: SUTTON. The West Hollywood concept store features jewelry, handbags, clothes, and décor items that she either loves or designed herself. She’s been teasing the venture on social media for quite some time now, and considering how personal the store is to her it will inevitably play some kind of a role on the show.

She apparently beat out Tori Spelling for the gig

Sutton and Tori Spelling don’t appear to be friends or anything IRL, but it seems like they have something in common: they both wanted to do the show. Tori has been open about her financial struggles in the past as well as her desire to join the other ladies in front of the camera on RHOBH, but it seems like the Powers-That-Be thought Sutton was the right addition this time around. In the coming weeks as we get to know her a little better, we’ll all find out why.
