Luann de Lesseps Wears Unhinged Outfit to Airport En Route to Midwest Cabaret Tour
Longtime viewers of The Real Housewives of New York City might call many moments with Luann de Lesseps “unhinged.” The original RHONY cast member is known for her offensive Diana Ross costume as much as her loving support of friends like Sonja Morgan. With unhinged moments come unhinged outfits, like the one she donned for her travels to the Midwest yesterday.
Luann de Lesseps’ style is a mix of classic elegance, bold glamour, and cabaret-inspired drama. As a former countess, she leans into a chic, European-inspired aesthetic. However, fans also know the former model for taking risks with her fashion choices — sometimes to great success and other times… not so much. Enter de Lesseps’ outfit as she flew from NYC to Omaha, Nebraska, for her cabaret show at the Astro Theater.
De Lesseps began the Midwest leg of her cabaret tour with a stop in the Cornhusker State. But her look was anything but rural. The 59-year-old donned a black fedora with a black tank top and light-wash flared denim. She layered a chainmail-inspired see-through button-up over the top. Then, she added a huge Chanel brooch to the chest pocket in label-forward Real Housewives fashion. Not to be out-accessorized, de Lesseps wore a large beaded rosary-style necklace and futuristic sunglasses.
We can’t overlook these sunglasses. Although sold out online, these black ultra-slim visor sunnies were available on Pretty Little Thing for $10. ASOS retailed the bedazzled eyewear for $45 before marking them down to $24.75.
While we applaud de Lesseps’ daring fashion choices, we aren’t so sure about Y2K style on the cabaret star. Thankfully, she usually opts for more sophisticated looks like the one she wore to the Planet Hollywood Times Square grand opening earlier this week.
The Bravolebrity donned a gorgeous sequined silver jumpsuit with a plunging neckline to celebrate the restaurant’s grand opening. We have a feeling that de Lesseps was thrilled to rub shoulders with Bravo and Hollywood stars at the VIP event. Guests included her personal friend Boy George as well as Whoopie Goldberg, Pete Davidson, 50 Cent, Joey Fatone, and Alec and Hilaria Baldwin. Arnold Schwarzenegger attended with his son, The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger.
De Lesseps wasn’t alone on the Bravo guest list. Real Housewives stars Margaret Josephs, Dorinda Medley, Meredith Marks, Joe and Melissa Gorga, and Gia and Milania Giudice attended the celebration. Now, de Lesseps is embarking on a new leg of her cabaret show, Countess and Friends. The Class with the Countess author will perform in the U.S. and Canada through June 29, 2025.
