There’s only one Real Housewife on fashion designer Christian Siriano ’s client list. The former Project Runway winner’s couture has been worn by A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande , but according to Siriano, 38, he doesn’t work with stars from Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise because “they don’t pay.” Siriano made the admission on the Monday, September 30, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen after host — and Real Housewives executive producer — Andy Cohen asked him if he’s ever dressed a Housewife.
“I mean, ever? Maybe. But listen, they’re not on my list because, one, they don’t pay,” Siriano responded to a chorus of shocked “oohs” from the studio audience. “They don’t!” Siriano reiterated.
“But my newest Housewife, Bronwyn [Newport] , is like my number one customer. [She] has been shopping for years and spends real money and not The Real Housewives money. I mean, I make her literally couture.
All her confessionals are Siriano pieces.” A post shared by Watch What Happens Live! (@bravowwhl) “Really?” Cohen, 56, responded. “Then maybe Housewives do pay?” Siriano sassily responded, “One! And she’s new!” Newport is the newest cast member on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City , which returned for season 5 on September 18.
Newport joins returning cast members Heather Gay , Whitney Rose , Lisa Barlow , Angie Katsenavas , Mary Cosby and Meredith Marks . Gay recently told Us Weekly that.
