Christian Siriano Reveals the 1 “Real Housewives ”Star Who Actually Pays for His Designs (and She's Not an OG)

The designer had some tea to spill about his Bravolebrity clientele

We all know who Christian Siriano’s favorite Real Housewives star is — and she comes ready to spend.

During his appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live!, the fashion designer, 38, revealed the only Housewife who’s willing to dish out money for his famous designs (spoiler: she’s a Salt Lake City fashionista).

“Bronwyn [Newport], is like my No. 1 customer and has been shopping, everyone, for years and spends real money. We make her literally couture, all of her confessionals are Siriano pieces that she bought years ago,” the Project Runway alum spilled of the new RHOSLC cast member.

The confession was prompted when Cohen asked him if he’d ever dressed a Housewife. “I mean ever? Maybe. But listen, they’re not on my list because one, they don’t pay,” he admitted, which came as a shock to the audience, as he’s known for outfitting the who’s-who of Hollywood. “They don’t!” he confirmed.

Newport, a 39-year-old influencer with 211K followers on Instagram, made her debut in the Salt Lake City-based reality series in season 5, which recently premiered on Sept. 18.

She joins as a longtime friend of veteran Lisa Barlow's and is described as someone with an “outrageous, fabulous and confrontational style,” reads an official Bravo release.

She also was raised Mormon and has a history with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, from which she was excommunicated when she got pregnant out of wedlock while studying at Brigham Young University, a prominent Mormon institution.

Her “over-over-the-top fashion" is also one of her best assets.

Bravo recently revealed a tour of Newport’s Utah home, which features an office that houses a bedazzled collection of spunky Judith Leiber purses (she’s currently at 75). This month, she’s also been a fixture at Fashion Week across New York and Paris, attending shows for Ralph Lauren, Valentino, Victoria Beckham and, of course, Christian Siriano. Her Instagram is literally a Pinterest board come to life.

Speaking with Glamour in September, Newport opened up about how she deals with the criticism she faces on her bold fashion choices — and anything pertaining to her personal life for that matter.

“Everyone has called me all kinds of names,” she told the outlet. “I’ve been called a whore, I’ve been called weird. Everybody hates my fashion. I’ve been called all kinds of things. When [my husband] Todd and I got together, the ‘gold digger’ commentary started." (For context, her husband, Todd Bradley, is 26 years her senior).

“Finally, I was like, there’s nothing else anybody can say that’s mean about me. So I might as well just be a hundred percent myself," she added. Spoken like a true reality TV star.
