Christian Siriano, fashion wizard extraordinaire, just dropped some hot tea on why he gives the Real Housewives the cold shoulder when it comes to dressing them for events or red carpets. And let’s just say, the reason is juicier than a Housewives’ reunion brawl!
While sitting pretty on Watch What Happens Live!—because of course, where else would this drama go down—38-year-old Christian was put on the spot by the king of Bravo himself, Andy Cohen. Andy asked the million-dollar question: “Christian, have you ever draped any of the Housewives in your fashion fabulousness over the years?”
Cue Christian’s face, which was serving a strong mix of “are you serious?” and “bless your heart.” His response? A gentle but firm roast: “I mean, ever? Maybe. But, listen, they’re not on my list because, one, they don’t pay.”
Record scratch. Yes, you heard that right, darling—THEY. DON’T. PAY. The audience’s collective gasps filled the air like the sound of a spilled martini. So naturally, Christian had to double down: “They don’t!” he emphasized, shaking his head with the energy of a man who has seen some things.
But wait—don’t think this was a total Housewives ban. Oh no, he threw in a little sprinkle of positivity to keep the Bravo gods happy. Apparently, there’s one sparkly exception: a newbie from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. This mystery Housewife? Bronwyn Newport, who’s apparently putting her real (as in, not reality TV) dollars where her designer dreams are.
“She’s my number one customer,” Christian gushed, probably imagining a rainbow of dollar signs and couture gowns. “She’s been shopping for years, and she’s spending real money, not ‘Real Housewives’ money.”
Oof. You can practically hear the shade flying across Bravo headquarters. But wait, there’s more! Christian revealed that he’s not just slinging any old dresses at Bronwyn; he’s creating full-on couture magic for her. “All her confessionals? Siriano pieces,” he said, possibly twirling an imaginary tape measure.
So, while the rest of the Housewives might be trying to barter with exposure, Bronwyn is out here living her best couture life, one fabulous Siriano creation at a time.
