Sporting full glam, including a smokey eye and a nude lip, Gorga smiled as she got rid of her garbage while wearing a blue and ecru Dior oblique quilted technical taffeta reversible cropped puffer jacket and dark-colored mini biker shorts.

Her top, which retails for $5,900, featured the classic Dior print throughout the bottom of the design, with the solid colors rotating up to her hood.

“Christian Dior” is printed on the back of the jacket, which also includes a zipper and drawstring hems.

Gorga’s freshly manicured nails appeared to be polished in a plum shade and she topped her look off in a bright red Santa hat and furry white slippers.

Earlier this month, the reality TV star defended herself after Real Housewives of Miami’s Alexia Nepola said on stage at Bravo Fan Fest Miami that the cast of the RHONJ and Real Housewives of Potomac have the “worst style.”

“Who do you think takes the crown instead?” Andy Cohen asked Gorga during a Dec. 18 episode of Watch What Happens Live.

Gorga let her sheer, dark pink, curve-hugging dress answer the question as she stood up from her seat and received applause from the audience, as well as her husband Joe Gorga, who was also cheering from the crowd.

“Alexia doesn't know anything about Jersey, baby,” the father of three yelled out with a smile.

The couple, who recently celebrated their 20-year wedding anniversary, are parents to daughter Antonia, 19, and sons Gino, 17, and Joey, 14.

Meanwhile, the future of the franchise remains unclear following the explosive season 14 finale of RHONJ.

“Sometimes when we're at dinner, we'll speculate and say, 'What do you think? What do you think they're going to do?' ” Melissa told PEOPLE at the premiere of Devon in New York City on Nov. 8 of conversations with her costars. “I mean, we'd be lying if we said we didn't, but at the end of the day we know all of us have zero control over it.”

“So whatever is meant to be will be and that's how it goes,” she said, admitting that she is “enjoying the time off.”

Melissa added that the rare extra time has given her a chance to focus on her clothing boutique Envy.

“So I'm taking the minute that I think the show needed, and I'm taking the time to spend time with my family and work hard on my other projects so I'm slightly enjoying it,” she said.

In addition to Melissa, the show’s most recent cast included her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, Jackie Goldschneider and Jenn Fessler.
