Brittany Cartwright is soaking up the sun and turning heads on a glamorous beach getaway in Mexico, showing off the results of her recent mommy makeover.
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 37, wowed fans in a neon orange maxi dress featuring daring cut-outs along the halter neckline, as shared on her Instagram on January 25. The sheer gown included a bold peekaboo design that left her backside partially exposed, making a striking statement on the sand.
Alongside her elegant beach look, Cartwright shared photos of herself enjoying a sunny day by the water in an orange bikini top paired with a playful swim skirt. She captioned the post, “Birthday girl,” celebrating her special day in style.
Fans flooded the comments with praise for her confident display. One wrote, “Orange you gorgeous 🔥!! Happy birthday bb! Can’t wait to celebrate you ❤️❤️❤️,” while another added, “Happy birthday!! This will be your best year yet 🤍.” Others highlighted the flattering fit of her bold dress.
Cartwright has focused on self-care and fitness following her split from Jax Taylor in February 2024. In an October 2025 interview with OK!, she revealed that her mommy makeover, performed in September, helped her feel more confident and at peace.
“I feel incredible. I’m still healing, but I am in such a better space with not having to deal with so much drama and being able to have fun and thrive,” Cartwright said. She shared her son, Cruz, with Taylor. “It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for years and years, but I always thought I was going to have more kids. I never imagined I would be going through a divorce, so I was putting it off.”
The reality star’s makeover included a tummy tuck, which she described as a long-awaited transformation. “The first time I got to see my body post-op, I cried to my doctors. I was like, ‘Thank you so much.’ Some people will understand what I am talking about. It was an incredible feeling,” she recalled, noting how much her confidence has improved since the procedure.
Cartwright added that her ex’s “negative” comments about her body after childbirth played a role in her decision. “Trauma comes out in different ways, and I felt like it was something I really wanted to do for myself. I’m so happy I did! I already feel so much better!”
With her renewed confidence and radiant beach style, Brittany Cartwright is embracing a new chapter in her life—one filled with self-assurance and celebration.
