Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s youngest’s coming-of-age ceremony was so lavish it made headlines. Portia Umansky celebrated her bat mitzvah in 2021, and videos and photos from the “Cirque du Portia”- themed extravaganza prove that no expense was spared. (According to Page Six, it reportedly cost $400,000.) One of the highlights, which Richards posted to Instagram, was Portia and Mauricio sharing a dance, surrounded by their loved ones and a ceiling filled with giant gold balloons. In the caption, Richards thanked those involved in making it happen, giving a shout out to the teams behind the candy bar, dessert bar, photo booth, and circus performances.
There were a number of “Real Housewives” stars in attendance, including Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, Crystal Kung Minkoff, and Sutton Stracke. There were also stars who wished they were in attendance: On an episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” musicians slash Bravo super fans Alana Haim and Este Haim dished that they tried to score invites to the event. “We have the same rabbi as Kyle and Portia,” Alana explained. “And we actually randomly ran into him on the day [of Portia’s bat mitzvah].” According to the two sisters, they asked their rabbi to see if he could get them on the guest list, even offering to perform at the temple or the actual party. “It would’ve been an honor,” Este said. Alas, Haim did not go to the bat mitzvah, but at least they got an “only in LA” story out of it.
