Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are stepping into an exciting new phase with their ambitious venture, Something About Her. After navigating the challenges of opening their West Hollywood sandwich shop, the duo expressed their mixed feelings of relief and surrealism as they celebrated its grand opening. Addressing the delays caused by bureaucratic hurdles, Katie shared her eagerness to welcome patrons into the space that has been meticulously designed to reflect their vision.
During an exclusive chat, the pair revealed that their restaurant’s ambiance draws inspiration from the iconic films of director Nancy Meyers. With an Instagram-friendly aesthetic, the shop features a menu brimming with signature sandwiches and unique drinks from celebrity-endorsed brands. The involvement of production designer Jon Hutman, known for his work on beloved romantic comedies, has infused the cafĂ© with a cozy, Parisian vibe that is sure to delight visitors.
Katie and Ariana recently hosted a soft opening attended by family, friends, and notable figures from their reality TV circle, highlighting the community support behind their endeavor. However, some familiar faces from the Vanderpump Rules cast were noticeably missing from the festivities, hinting at the ongoing tensions among the cast following the dramatic events of the recent season.
As Vanderpump Rules approaches the conclusion of its 11th season, Katie and Ariana find themselves at a crossroads with their newfound business and the show’s uncertain future. While they acknowledge that the situation can feel daunting, they are invigorated by the potential opportunities that lie ahead. Together, they are determined to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship while fostering their friendship.
Ariana is set to take on hosting responsibilities for Love Island in Fiji, along with returning to Broadway, while Katie will manage the day-to-day operations of their sandwich shop. The duo emphasizes that communication will be key as they adapt to their evolving roles and continue to support each other’s aspirations. With a shared vision and complementary strengths, they are optimistic about the success of Something About Her, now officially open for business in West Hollywood.
