Rachel Fuda of The Real Housewives of New Jersey isn’t ashamed of what she looked like before the show or even after. After Jennifer Aydin’s nose job received a lot of backlash in past seasons, it was no surprise that Rachel received some as well when she joined the show during RHONJ season 13. Rachel wasn’t an exception to the rule, as her face has clearly changed over the last few years.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Rachel Fuda joined the show this year after being introduced at Melissa Gorga’s rollerskating party. The youngest housewife snatched Jackie Goldschnieder’s former full-time position and earned her title as she was asked back to RHONJ season 14 as a full-time housewife again. Rachel was a breath of fresh air last season, but the mother of two daughters and one stepson has changed her tune after she and Teresa began feuding early in the season. Hopefully, the stress of this feud doesn’t change Rachel’s look any further.
Rachel Fuda Goes For A Natural Look
Sometimes Makeup Isn’t Needed
In an episode from RHONJ season 13, Jennifer called out Rachel’s nose job while everyone was attending Teresa Giudice’s housewarming party. While Rachel has never denied her facial enhancement, the insult from Jennifer came out as an attack. In this photo from July 2021 with her stepson, Jaiden Fuda, Rachel’s face is sporting much less makeup as she aimed for a more natural look. While Rachel looks beautiful in this photo, there is a clear difference between how she looks here and on the show.
Rachel Fuda Meets Jessica Simpson
Rachel Looks Younger
Right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, Rachel got to meet one of her idols, Jessica Simpson, in February 2020 at a book signing. Rachel sported a Burberry poncho with her face fully made up. Rachel’s nose looked to be a bit swollen, and it could be that she was still healing from her rhinoplasty. At the time this photo was taken, it looked like Rachel was at the start of her transformation journey.
Rachel took a lot of hits for her nose on RHONJ , especially during her first season.
Rachel Fuda From 2015
Rachel Looks Like A Typical Jersey Girl
This photo from 2015 shows Rachel, whose age is shocking, posing with her now husband, John Fuda, while hanging out down the Jersey Shore. The RHONJ star looks like any other 20-something-year-old Jersey girl who is ready to make a splash in Seaside Heights. Rachel is sporting a much fuller nose than the one everyone sees now on the show. While both noses look fine, in the end, it is always Rachel’s opinion that matters the most, and she seems pleased with her upgraded look.

Rachel Hasn’t Changed Physically Since Joining RHONJ
Rachel hasn’t changed much since joining RHONJ last season. Like most housewives who return for a second season following their first, they usually look very different physically, but not Rachel. She has mainly stated the same since she joined the show. While Rachel may have physically stayed the same, her attitude has changed. Rachel isn’t taking nonsense from her castmates, including Teresa and her close friend Jennifer Fessler. Rachel sees that Jen wants to be close to Teresa, who is now Rachel’s enemy. On RHONJ season 14, Rachel isn’t afraid to stand up to her bullies, somewhat of a change for Rachel.
Rachel hasn’t changed her appearance, but she has changed her attitude.
