FIRST ANNUAL BRAVO & COCKTAILS AWARDS

Best of 2025

Welcome to the first annual Bravo & Cocktails Awards — where the votes are messy, the categories are chaotic, and the Cocktailers are absolutely the only people we trust to pick the winners. From iconic BECs to breakout stars, shady assassins, accidental hookups, and the kind of petty drama that keeps the Bravoverse spinning, these awards celebrate what truly matters: reality stars behaving like reality stars.

This year has given us enough content to fill an entire BravoCon panel — twice — and now it’s your turn to weigh in.

And because no awards show is complete without a little friendly delusion, we’re letting you crown the year’s biggest BEC — that one person who could breathe and send you into a spiral. Amanda’s day-one BEC is Scheana, but this year’s nominees prove she’s hardly alone.

Grab your cocktail, take a deep breath, and prepare to vote on the categories that actually reflect the fabric of Bravo culture: hookups we still can’t believe happened, shade that left fanbases trembling, breakout stars who took over the timeline, and the hottest studs to grace our screens (you know you already have your pick).

The First Annual Bravo & Cocktails Awards are officially underway — and just like your favorite franchises, the results are guaranteed to be unhinged in the best way.

Voting closes on 12/19.
