Always the rebel, Lourdes flipped the bird to the camera while snapping a selfie with Azealia Banks.
Later, Azealia posed for pictures with the woman of the hour herself, Leah McSweeney who was kicking off her second season with the Bravo show.
'Judging you b***ches since 2008,' Banks wrote over their selfie on her Insta Story.
Azealia glowed with dewy skin and shimmering gunmetal smoky eyes that matched her grey and white gingham dress.

Leah, meanwhile, looked glam with her hair tugged into a high pony tail and an animal print top.
According to Page Six, the premiere party was held at St. Dymphnas in the East Village and followed a strict COVID-19 capacity protocol with no more than 100 guests. Sources told the outlet that people were upset by the rules, however, and argued with bouncers to be let inside.
McSweeney was the newbie last season on the Real Housewives of New York and she exclusively sat down with DailyMailTV senior correspondent Alicia Quarles and opened up about how difficult it's been to stay on the wagon during COVID-19.

She also revealed that 'hell maybe has frozen over' in season 13 of RHONY since she and Ramona Singer are finally in a 'good place.'
'It was hard. I'm not going to lie,' she explained. 'I did have a reference point, obviously, because I didn't drink for nine years. So it was definitely nowhere near as difficult as the first time that I quit drinking. But it was still hard because, like, who wants to be in reality when you're in a lockdown during a pandemic?'
Ultimately, Leah learned that not feeling groggy or hungover made filming more enjoyable but she admits that this year lacked some of her more wild moments - despite donning crystal pasties at a party in one episode.
As a veteran this year, Leah knew what to expect when it came to her tight knit co-stars, particularly Luann, Sonja and Ramona.

Leah revealed to DailyMailTV that after a tense relationship with one particular Housewife notorious for ruffling feathers things are finally going smoothly.
'Me and Ramona are in a good place right now. I love that,' she said with a laugh. 'Yes, and hell maybe has frozen over, I don't know.'
'I think it was so much conflict going on around us in the world. I'm like, "oh, my God, I can't be - I need to make this work". I need for us to have some kind of common ground with each other,' Leah continued, adding: 'And we made it happen."
McSweeney also has a built-in ally this year, new Housewife Eboni K. Williams who was her good friend from before the show.

'Me and Ramona are in a good place right now. I love that,' she said with a laugh. 'Yes, and hell maybe has frozen over, I don't know.'
A strong alpha female herself, Leah said Eboni didn't need much guidance to find her footing but she was there to offer up some encouragement.
'I guess when there were times where she was like, "ugh, oh my god girl. This is a lot" I'm like, "yes but it's going to be worth it,"' Leah said. 'And I just ... I told her to be herself. That was the main thing. Be yourself.'
