Lisa Vanderpump wears chic pantsuit to doc premiere

Lisa Vanderpump modeled a black and hot pink pantsuit at the world premiere of her documentary The Road To Yulin.

The 57-year-old reality star’s new film is part of her years-long campaign against the Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China, for which canines are slaughtered and eaten.

Held at Regal LA Live, the premiere played host to such famous names as Lisa’s fellow Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna.

But the reality star was putting on a brave face in the wake of her own personal tragedy, after losing two of her beloved pet pooches in just nine days. 

Lisa announced the passing of her dog Pikachu on Instagram on Wednesday night, just days after the death of her Pomeranian Pink Dog. 

Speaking to US Weekly at the event, she said of her loss: ‘To even talk about that right now – having lost two of my dogs in just a few days has been unbelievable. At this time, it’s difficult to do it.’ 

Lisa’s black blazer was garnished with a shining pink lapel that matched the pink purse she’d slung from her left shoulder.

Her chic black blouse featured a cleavage-baring lace-trimmed neckline.

While attending the event, balancing on a pair of black stilettos, she got in a bit of posing on the red carpet with a dog as well.

She got in a bit of posing with Leona Lewis, who showed a bit of bra through a sheer white top that had solid cuffs and a solid neckline.

Leona had tucked that top into a high-waisted pair of flowing sky blue trousers, which were cinched in over her midriff to emphasize her trim torso.

Lisa Vanderpump also posed alongside Lance Bass, who accented his toned physique in a V-neck red sweater and fitted pair of faded jeans.

Lance smiled for the cameras on the arm of his husband Michael Turchin, whose short-sleeved shirt featured white palm tree patterns on a midnight blue field. 

Her husband Ken Todd, whom Lisa’s been married to since 1982, cradled two of the couple’s menagerie of pooches as he stood for the cameras.

Ken, dapper as ever and English like his wife, had worn a pristine navy suit over a white dress shirt, wrapping his arms around his little canine pals.

Their daughter Pandora, her nails painted scarlet, had slid into a shimmering and busty black dress with a sash tying it about her waist.

She held a black-bordered deep purple clutch at her side at the event.

Stood beside Pandora was her husband Jason Sabo, who’d stuck to a classically dapper look in black tie and a black suit.

Lisa Rinna wore a simple black cocktail dress that emphasized her enviably svelte physique, showing her décolletage through a plunging V-neck.

A tiny purse was tucked under her left arm, hanging from that shoulder, and she trod the carpet on a sky-high pair of black ankle-strap stilettos.

Kyle’s little black dress offered up a generous view of cleavage as well, and it was tight enough to flatter the Real Housewife’s curves.

Striking drop earrings dangled at either side of her face, and she’d let her dark hair cascade over her shoulders, accessorizing further with a couple bracelets.

Maria Menounos had swept her hair up into a tight bun, wearing an oversize Dolly Parton T-shirt over seemingly airtight trousers and gleaming gold-colored shoes.

Camille Grammer, ex-wife of Kelsey, grinned for the camera with her hands at her hips, having pulled herself into a sleeveless white dress with a frilly hemline.

A bracelet round her right wrist complemented the open-toed shoes the former Real Housewife Of Beverly Hills had pushed her feet into.

Jenna Willis, who’s been on the reality show Vanderpump Rules, had flung a black leather jacket over a tiny peach-colored dress that flaunted her cleavage.

Joyce Girauld was slinky in an off-the-shoulder black jumpsuit at the prem.

The Road To Yulin includes grisly footage of the savage treatment dogs suffer in the service of the meat festival.

Lisa’s voice-over tells of how ‘a primitive device used for ripping the fur off of small dogs and cats is one of the many torture implements used,’ as the camera draws closer to what is apparently just such a device.

‘I will never forget some of the things I’ve seen. I have seen dogs strung up and beaten by three guys with baseball bats. I’ve seen a dog skinned alive, which is the most horrible sight you’ll ever see,’ says Ken on camera.

Over a shot of a dog’s legs dangling over what appears to be a puddle of blood, Lisa says in horror that ‘the torture is beyond barbaric.’

Lisa insists that ‘we’ve got to put pressure on the Chinese government to stop indulging these people in the torture of these poor, innocent animals.’

To which end, as Ken describes, ‘We joined forces with [U.S.] Congressman Alcee Hastings [Democrat of Florida] to bring forward a bill to the floor, Resolution 30.’

As per its page on Congress.gov, the purpose of the resolution is ‘Condemning the Dog Meat Festival in Yulin, China, and urging China to end the dog meat trade.’ 

Lisa’s work for this cause has also flowered into The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, a rescue service based, as she is, in Los Angeles.
