Dolores Catania, star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," is facing criticism from fans and social media users for her choice of dress at her son Frank Jr.'s wedding to Nicole Perricho. The couple married on August 1 in Portugal's wine country.
Catania wore a pale blue gown that, in photographs from the event, appeared to be white. This led to a flurry of comments on social media platforms, including a dedicated Reddit thread titled, "Dolores wore white to her son’s wedding." Many users deemed the choice inappropriate, with one commenting, "The least she could do is try to dress subtle and keep a low profile to give the girl her day." Others described the look as "tacky" and "gross."
Nicole Perricho wore a custom gown by White House Bride for the ceremony, while Frank Jr. donned a suit from Michael Andrews Bespoke NYC. Catania, 55, shared several images from the wedding on her Instagram account.
The reality star is engaged to Paul "Paulie" Connell. The couple became engaged in late 2025 when Connell presented Catania with a 15-carat ring at the Apple Store where they first met.
