That Ariana Madix revenge dress has broken the internet and, with any luck, Tom Sandoval's heart.

Although we're still unsure exactly when the Vanderpump Rules reunion will air (our sources say late May, FYI), we do know that the drama-filled special was filmed already, with the cast (yes, including Raquel Leviss and Sheana Shay) coming together on Thursday, March 23 for what host Andy Cohen called "a real reckoning," per his Radio Andy radio show. 

We've been given a sneak peek at what our favorite reality stars have worn for the occasion, but no one stole the show quite like Ariana Madix in her body-hugging, ab-barring gown that simply screams "revenge dress." 

Though typically subdued, Ariana certainly switched up her style for what's bound to be one of TV's most intense reunions. One thing is for sure: she certainly has everyone's attention now!
