Christian Siriano is sharing an update on his relationship with the Real Housewives stars.

At City Harvest Presents The 2025 Gala: Carnaval on Tuesday, April 22, the fashion designer, 39, told Page Six that there's still only one Housewife who shells out for his designs.

“Bronwyn still pays,” he told the outlet at the New York City event.

“Brownyn bought two dresses yesterday,” Siriano continued, “so anyone that says Bronwyn doesn’t pay … She does!”

The Project Runway star also shared that he's sometimes willing to provide a dress for free, but there are stipulations.

“I think if you’re winning an Oscar, it’s a little different,” he explained. “If you’re going to win an Oscar in it, no problem. A little different than like, going to the corner store on the episode of The Housewives.”

During a 2024 appearance onAndy Cohen’sWatch What Happens Live!, Siriano first revealed that Newport, 39, was the only Housewife to pay for his clothes.

“Bronwyn [Newport], is like my No. 1 customer and has been shopping everyone for years and spends real money," he said of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star. We make her literally couture, all of her confessionals are Siriano pieces that she bought years ago,” theProject Runwayalum spilled of the newRHOSLCcast member.

After winning season 4 of Project Runway in 2008, Siriano established himself as a fashion designer to the stars, dressing everyone from Zendaya to Jennifer Lopez. Earlier this year, he achieved his dream of fitting Halle Berry with a gown for the Oscars. The actress, 58, stunned in a shattered-mirror creation featuring sheer panels down the legs and draped into a short train.

During the red carpet pre-show, where Siriano was providing commentary, he told his fellow hosts how excited he was to work with Berry and her stylist, Lindsay Flores.

"My entire career I wanted to dress one person at the Oscars, and that's Halle Berry," he said. "It's different for her, it's metallic, it's iridescent."

Siriano added that the dress had 7,000 beads on it.
