6 Times Christina Haack Dressed For Revenge
If you've followed HGTV star Christina Haack's career progress from "Flip or Flop" through "Christina on the Coast," to "Christina in the Country," and "The Flip Off," which pitted her against ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae, then you'll know that the blond Californian's romances and break ups have featured as a backdrop on her shows. First, there was her split from El Moussa, which was announced in December 2016, followed by her marriage to fellow TV star Ant Anstead (which lasted from September 2018 until divorce filings came in November of 2020), and later the Josh Hall era, which lasted from March 2021 until divorce filings in July 2024.
Romances aside, Haack may be known for her skills as a house remodeler and interior designer first and foremost, but fans also know she's all about fashion and beauty. In fact, we hardly recognize Christina Haack without her signature hair extensions. And on more than one occasion, she seems to have used both her beauty and her style to take revenge on past flames. (Learn all about what exactly revenge fashion is here if you're unsure, along with how to master it.) From her numerous bikini posts to outfits accompanied by not-so-subtle statements, there have been at least six times she used fashion to hit back and show that, at least physically, she was doing just fine.
Chrisina Haack does a mid-divorce bikini post
Christina Haack built her career and reputation simultaneously alongside husband Tarek El Moussa. When the duo announced their separation at the end of 2016, fans wondered what would happen professionally with the couple, who have two children, Taylor and Brayden. Haack demonstrated that she wasn't going to slow down, doing a promo with a swimwear brand with her and El Moussa's daughter. This shoot also served as a revenge moment for the mom, who looked hot in a two-piece while being playful with Taylor.
Christina Haack attends the Emmys with her ex in an LBD
Despite their personal issues, Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa continued working together on their popular HGTV show. The two even attended the 2017 Daytime Emmys together amidst their separation. Did Haack hold back? Or did she opt for an outfit that might get El Moussa's (and any other onlookers') attention? The latter, definitely. She wore a dress that showed off her killer legs and smiled confidently for cameras, hinting that she had no regrets about their split.
Looking carefree in a bikini is a revenge hack for Christina Haack
Nothing says revenge like a bikini post. Christina Haack posted a photo of her in a black bikini (with pup Cash) on Instagram in May 2020; this was around the time things were crumbling with second husband Ant Anstead. (The duo announced their separation in September that year.) While a dress may be the go-to for revenge looks (with Taylor Swift's revenge-dress moments being the gold standard), a fearless body flaunt that looks effortless will also do the trick.
Christina Haack is hot in a little red dress
In July 2024, Christina Haack hit the Las Vegas strip with a girlfriend. That month also happened to be when she and Josh Hall filed for divorce. Haack showed off her bod, which she keeps fit with yoga and running, in a red tube dress and super-high heels. If Las Vegas, a minidress, and heels don't scream "eat your heart out, Josh," we're not sure what does.
Moving on in a not-so-subtle vacation post
In an August 2024 social media post, Christina Haack shared a photo of herself in a Louis Vuitton bikini, with the caption, "This trip just hits different." Most fans assumed this is directly aimed at ex-husband Josh Hall because it's a post-divorce vacation without his negative energy. Fans posted comments about how beautiful she looked and wishes for her to heal post-breakup.
Christina Haack's bargain dress was a dig at her ex
Christina Haack appeared at an event for "The Flip Off" in April 2025, later revealing in Instagram Stories (via People) that her Princess Polly dress was only $65. She wrote: "Paying for this divorce hasn't been cheap so I've been trying to cut down on my spending especially when it comes to clothes." We can't help but feel she took the opportunity to make a dig at her ex, Josh Hall, whom she has accused of trying to rake her over the coals with their divorce settlement. In this instance, the revenge was all about calling out Hall's bad behavior by way of her having to cut back on her spending.
