Brandi Glanville’s bustier & jeans combo for the Bruno Mars concert: sexy or budget?

Here are some newish photos of Brandi Glanville at the Bruno Mars concert in LA over the weekend. Quite honestly, I prefer when Brandi dresses like this – sort of casual but still “done” and I love that she paired skinny jeans/capris with a bustier. I prefer this look to Brandi’s default “going out” look which seems to be an endless array of minidresses which resemble tissue paper. Plus, if she gets falling-down messy drunk in this outfit, what’s the worst that can happen? A boob will pop out, and that’s it. It’s not like her whole dress is going to fall apart and everyone will see her thong (and her tampon string). Anyway, Brandi had fun at the concert, tweeting “i think I’m in LOVE! #BRUNOMARS”.

As for whatever else Brandi has going on… I have no idea. I haven’t heard any firm denials on the rumor that Brandi might be getting her own spinoff show, and she’s still got to write her second book too. Bravo had a preview:

In her debut book Drinking and Tweeting, Brandi Glanville pulled back the curtain on her shocking split from husband Eddie Cibrian, who left the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star for singer LeAnn Rimes. Now, Brandi’s hard at work writing a follow-up—and she says there will be plenty more secrets revealed.

“While my first book focused mainly on my past and surviving divorce and heartbreak,” Brandi tells the Dish, “this book focuses on my new future. I joke that it’s my own R-rated version of Sex and the City.”

So what can we expect from the tome?

“It’s an honest look at my life blunders and all,” she says. “It covers everything from sex, dating and relationships to depressions, medicating and, of course, drinking and tweeting. There will be no shortage of OMG moments that readers responded to in my first book.”

Some of those moments may include her unfortunate photo-op with the paparazzi and hand injury, which she sustained while taking self-defense class.

“Secrets are revealed, truths will be told, hook-ups outed and lots and lots of hashtags and F-Bombs,” Brandi says. We can’t wait!

So, the book will cover everything that you would be seeing on a possible spinoff show, I guess. I do wonder if Brandi will be able to retain her fanbase if she’s the headliner and responsible for everything. What will the drama be if she doesn’t have LeAnn as the yin to her yang?

    Only here for the Bruno Mars mention. He’s my shamecrush.

    • Toot says:

      Yeah, me too. Except I feel no shame.

      • Katie says:

        I only feel a little bit of shame because he’s so short and he is/was a cokehead. Plus, I’m not into his whiny man ballads (except Grenade). Give me Gorilla or Moonshine over Just the Way You Are or When I Was Your Man. lol

      • Toot says:

        @ Katie

        Agree, with your song choices and would add “Money Makes Her Smile”. Bruno sounds kind of sexy on it, to me.

        As for his height, I know I tower over him (5’10”), but I still love him. LOL

      • Katie says:

        Girl, I get down to Money Makes Her Smile no matter where I am when I hear it. lol I know it means he’s probably killing his voice, but I L-O-V-E how raspy it is. I had Unorthodox Jukebox on repeat for 4 or 5 months after it came out (except for When I Was Your Man – I think they should have moved it to after Moonshine.)

        I need to step away from this thread – I’m getting all heated thinking about that CD and I’m at work and it’s not even noon here on the east coast. lol (Also, I’m 5’9″ – tall women unite!)

      • SE says:

        Admitting I have no idea who Bruno Mars is – but I’m 5′ 10″, so yay tall women!

      • SE says:

        And double post, sorry.

        Brandi looks likes she going to burst out of that top at any moment. I guess it’s better than the thong/string look, but not by much.

    • mia girl says:

      There is never shame in crushing on somebody with talent.

      • Katie says:

        That’s true. I wish he’d rip the fame carpet from right underneath Justin Timberlake’s feet.

      • Hakura says:

        @Katie – Don’t we all? & I wish JT would fall on the ass he expects the whole world to kiss, just for good measure. >=)

  2. Gabriella says:

    Would be OK if it fit her properly, but I think it’s a bit too small, and the colour is very unflattering. Generally, I don’t find this woman sexy. She’s more on the budget side for me.

    • Ok says:

      I think that the color is subtle and pretty on her. I think she is gorgeous.

      But how on earth are her boobs staying in that top??? The do like she is about to pop out of it !!! Yikes !!!!

      But I lone the way it wraps the waist and I love the jeans.

      • MB75 says:

        I agree. I love the color of the bustier and they make them tight so that the ‘girls’ do not pop out….. They just are pushed up. I’m still a fan of dark, destroyed denim and I love the heels. She is a very pretty woman. And yes, I am also thankful she didn’t wear a tissue dress. Yikes…..!!!!

      • Gabriella says:

        I just think bandage tops and dresses should never be the same colour of an actual bandage

    • Betty says:

      I actually think the color looks fine on her, but I agree that the top needs to cover her breasts more. I don’t understand why she likes outfits that leave her breasts practically falling out. Remember her dress from the Oscars? Anyway, I love bustiers. I’ve got about a half-dozen of them and I usually pair them with jeans.

    • Linda says:

      I agree colour is wrong for her and I don’t understand how the girls didn’t pop out!!!

    • Sumodo1 says:

      It looks like she got it at David’s Bridals: had them make a mullet skirt and use the top part to make THIS monstrosity. Ew.

    • stinky says:

      HAHAHAa.a…..

  3. Mrs K. says:

    She looks great!

    • deehunny says:

      Has she gotten more work done recently? She looks fresher or less puffy in certain areas or something. She does look good, but the top is too small.

  4. judyjudy says:

    I thought she had cut her hair (in the top pix) but the last pic I was bummed to see the same old used up extensions. I think she would look amazing and younger with a shorter ‘do.

    I like the outfit but the top looks too small. It’s having the same effect as her Oscar dress.

    • Stef Leppard says:

      I thought the same thing re: the top resembling her too-small Oscar dress. I guess she likes that “hanging on for dear life” look. Anyway, I always think she has a great body, so she can get away with clothes that maybe aren’t so flattering.

    • Samigirl says:

      Agree and agree. If she got one of those inverted bobs, omg it would be so hot on her! And yes, her Oscar dress is the first thing that came to mind when I saw her top. I think it’s hot tho!

      • SE says:

        I thought you said “one of those inverted boobs” and thankfully was having a hard time picturing it.

  5. heidi says:

    Trashy, so what’s new. And what’s wrong with her eyes in first and third photos? Is she on something or posing like a sex cougar?

  6. ojulia123 says:

    Expect a copycat outfit on LeAnn in 5…4….3….

    • someone says:

      Nope, even Leann wouldn’t copy that horror of a top.

      • OrangeBlohan says:

        I wouldn’t bet the ranch on that! She copies everything B touches!

      • sullivan says:

        Why would anyone copy that top? Mutton dressed as lamb. She has a muffin-top on her back, just beneath her shoulders. Not a flattering look.She is tall & thin and could actually look good if she dressed stylishly. Is she allergic to elegance and class?

  7. lisa2 says:

    The face of that woman in the background; last picture.

    that is my comment

    • Lisa says:

      Ha…perfect.

    • Zinnia says:

      Because Brandi is a “head turner”! She is probably about 6’4″ in heels. Tall and gorgeous!

    • Hakura says:

      @lisa2 – Ahh, damnit, you beat me it. That was the first thing I noticed! She was like a deer in the headlights, & It looked like she was trying to pull the back of her own top down xD

  8. Enn says:

    It would be cute if not for the fact that her nipples are barely covered. That takes it right into trashy stripper territory. What’s up with the bandage on her hand?

  9. SmokeyBlues says:

    So so soooo budget and looking like trash as usual. And what does the promise that there will be ” lots and lots of hash tags and F bombs” mean? What is this trashbag talking about, and who would want to read that? We have to stop throwing money at this mess!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Ha ha…ITA but apparently LOTS of people read her first book.
      *sigh*

      I guess I’m alone here, but I do think she looks better than usual. She has a kickass body. Her eyes do look strange though-much be fresh round of ‘tox.

      • Haolebunny says:

        I agree TheOriginalKitten. I think she looks good here, but maybe one size larger for her top.

  10. Snowpea says:

    Hmmmm her eyes look odd…like she’s just done a line 😉

    Um, BG is up there with Xtina and Pam Anderson on Pretty Girls I’d Love to Makeunder.

    For the love of god, why cant these girls get it together? Buy some quality threads, lose the frosty pout, cover up and give up on the freakn spray tan!

    Gah!

  11. Diana says:

    I feel bad for her. This outfit wreaks of desperation.

  12. Jenn says:

    Maybe the outfit serves the purpose to distract from her face… It looks like she did something to her eyes.

  13. Deebo says:

    Those cheeks are budget.

  14. It'sJustBlanche says:

    It’s a little bit young for her–she could have done something similar that wasn’t more fit for a 20-something. Having said that she has the body for it so I guess it’s fine.

    • sala says:

      I disagree about the age-appropriateness of her outfit. To me it’s just a horrible outfit, regardless of age and that’s all down to the look at me!/ridiculously small bustier. This woman never looks confidently sexy, just desperate for attention.

      • emmie_a says:

        I agree about desperate for attention. She reminds me of Rupert Sanders wife — always wearing inappropriate, skintight, barely there clothing.

    • Kimble says:

      Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should …

      She has a bangin’ bod but always looks so desperate …

      I hate to think what she’s going to look like at 50!

  15. emmie_a says:

    Her fillers must have settled because her face is looking less puffy and more pretty. I don’t understand why all those housewives love fillers — not everyone looks good with a pillowy-puffy face.

    • deehunny says:

      I was thinking the same thing. She definitely either did something to her face or didn’t. But it looks better this way.

  16. brin says:

    She looks fantastic!

  17. Christin says:

    Walking in skinny heels on a metal grate (photo 1)??? Another injury waiting to happen.

  18. Toot says:

    Finally can co-sign something 100% with Brandy. I love Bruno Mars! lol

  19. JL says:

    Those pics of Lindsey and Brandi side by side on the home page are creepy!

  20. Cam S says:

    As someone with enhanced breasts (thanks cancer!), it is actually harder for me now to wear strapless clothes. They sit up nicely, but are way fuller on top than before. I don’t need a bra actually, but I don’t do strapless anymore because they always look ready to pop out of the top. Where as before they were sagging down to far! I can’t win for losing.

    Brandi- meh, I’ve come to expect the cheap look on her. She is proud of looking trashy, it’s “her thing” since high school. This is one of the many reasons why she will never attract a quality man for a LTR. Sorry, but what nice man wants a 40yr old Mother that looks like a stripper? Just my opinion.
    A cute bolero jacket or light sweater would have been cute for walking around with this.

    • CreamSoda says:

      I’m right there with you on having wardrobe difficulties after breast cancer. I was an A-cup when I had a lumpectomy and treatment, but years later after two pregnancies I have one A-cup and one C. Only one breast grew while pregnant. The other one didn’t due to the radiation treatment. It can be a hassle but I don’t feel like having more surgery to “fix” it. BC survivors unite! 🙂

      • Cam S says:

        THIS. This is what concerns me about having a baby. I’ve heard similar stories. Stay strong, we won afterall!

  21. janie says:

    Trash, period.

  22. Barrett says:

    What’s up with those nip slip tops. Come on, sexy can be even more sexy with more coverage? Less is not more. Stop being desperate. You have kids. And I don’t even like Leanne!

  23. Samtha says:

    This is the best her face has looked in a while. If the top just went up a little more, the outfit would be cute.

    • Jennabean says:

      Her face almost looks normal IMO her body is great but her face is almost to the barely human stage. Please stop all the surgerys and filler and whatnot

  24. respect says:

    I live in Italy and am Always surprised by the puritanism in America. Here, people wear what they want, sexy or not (but mostly sexy) regardless of age…and there are many fewer pregnany teens. Cover it up or don’t, personal choice. She looks Amazing and I imagine many insecure women and Le loovers are posting negative comments.

    • MaryBeth says:

      AMEN!!!!!! I totally agree! I love what she is wearing and if someone wonders why her breasts are pushed up it is the nature of a bustier………………… My wedding gown has a bustier! I am modest yet I think she looks quite hot in these pics. IMHO. 😉

      • a says:

        I see European street style and red carpet pictures all the time and do not commonly see the women being millimeters away from a nip slip, and the few who are are labeled desperate and trashy by their locals too.

        Many European beaches are topless and nude sunbathing is common, but that is a different thing than what we are seeing here IMO.

    • blaize says:

      Thank you! You’d think that in the 21st century, people would be less squeamish about this sort of thing and open-minded about clothing. I don’t see what being a mother has to do with this, and calling someone trash over an outfit is so backward. Women who wear whatever they want and disobey the ladylike ‘rules’ about clothing are always called trash and desperate for attention. Puritanism and pearl-clutching is the new ‘class’.

  25. Justaposter says:

    Chick was tweeking! Check out her eyes.

  26. UsedToBeLulu says:

    The color is great. But her torso is so long and she is so thin, that she would probably benefit from going a size up and having it tailored. That way the bust wouldn’t ride so low.

  27. Happy21 says:

    She is always and forever budget.
    Loathe…

  28. roxy750 says:

    embarrassing, dress your age, seriously she is a famewhore, sorry but she just asks for attention all the time. Gross

  29. Rita says:

    A little to much boobalishous for my taste but other than that, looks great.

  30. Mrs K. says:

    After reading all the comments, I see that she is not “everybody’s darling”, but you have to admit she has great body and looks very feminine.

  31. mercy says:

    I’m shocked she has a fanbase to begin with. She seems like a dreadful person who wears exceptionally trashy clothes and has had too much bad plastic surgery. But from the bits I’ve seen, that describes the vast majority of these reality show ‘housewives’ and even some of their husbands.

  32. Jayna says:

    Cute outfit except the top part of her top. The bustier is way too small, come on, so sends her right back into budget territory as usual, which is never good on a 41-year-old woman. All she had to do was buy a size larger and then have the top tailored to fit perfectly if it was loose anywhere.

    Her face is still jacked. She could look so much younger facewise if she would stop. But her hair looks better than it has been looking.

  33. april says:

    I like the top better than the jeans. The jeans look tacky to me. She could have found much cuter jeans.

  34. nuzzybear says:

    I’d like the bustier an inch higher, but overall – she looks good.

  35. Joe-Joe says:

    This woman has fans? FOR DOING WHAT? Gross drunk idiot.She is disgusting.

  36. Sway says:

    She looks gorgeous. I love her in jeans, she looks fresh and beautiful.

  37. skuddles says:

    The top reminds me of something Courtney Stodden would wear.

    I’d be curious to see the post-concert pics… wasted, flailing and falling on her bony ass again?

    • Iggie says:

      Agreed. She looks like a trashy cheap 2 bit slut. She reminds me of diseased dirty Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton and yes, Courtney Stodden. She is a laughing stock. I feel so embarrassed for her parents. She obviously didn’t take notice of her father re the Oscar dress. Or else why CHOOSE to make the same mistake – again? She is just a bit of shit.

      • blaize says:

        I don’t know why, but for some reason your comment makes me think of a certain pundit. He’s old and he had quite a bit to say about Sandra Fluke…

  38. blaize says:

    GASP! Cover your scandalous breasts!

    Just kidding! 😀 She could have stolen this entire outfit out of my own closet; it’s something I would wear.

    • Ming says:

      She looks smashing!
      Since when is there an age limit on wearing sexy clothes?
      Thank goodness I am not a mother so I am still allowed to show off my sexiness if I happen to want to go out at night with my girlfriends to a concert. -sarcasm for those not catching up.
      So what if the top has slipped a bit while walking/dancing. She’s not posing for the cameras or trying to show off the top.

  39. Chell says:

    I used to be all about “dressing your age”…until I recently turned 40, lol! I say if you can rock an outfit like that then go for it! It’s very appropriate for a concert, not like she was going to a PTA meeting!!! I’d kill to have this woman’s body!!!

    • Jennifer12 says:

      I’m close to it, but this outfit would be cute if the bustier fit correctly. As another poster said, you just want to hike it up for her. She needs to stop the half out of her top look.

  40. krtmom64 says:

    Fake boobs + chicken legs + too much botox = unattractive

  41. Jennifer12 says:

    She looks pretty and she is clearly not drunk, so stop the nastiness. However, I agree with the comments on the top; cover your breasts correctly. It would be such a nice look if she wasn’t hanging out of it. I think the color is lovely on her and it’s a great dressy-casual look. But stop the breasts hanging out look; it’s not cute.

    • Cirque28 says:

      Yeah, the first law of bustiers is bustiers need to fit. A tight t-shirt might be sexy, but a tight bustier just makes people want to hike it up for you.

      Hot shoes, though.

      • Jennifer12 says:

        It’s a pity because she looks lovely otherwise. I get that she paid for them and wants to show them off, but this is not the way to do it. I hated her Oscar look. I don’t get the pushed up to your chin look and I don’t get the practically falling off look.

  42. VVBrown says:

    I LOVE the bustier, it’s such a shame it’s on someone who’s too old and too big for it (bust wise) I’ve never seen this woman dress in something that didn’t require a nip slip count down. urgh.

    • Jennifer12 says:

      Come on, is there an age restriction on the garment? Is everyone over 40 supposed to wear muumuus? I agree it doesn’t fit her and looks cheap as opposed to classy with the fit, but it’s a pretty bustier and would look great on her if it fit properly.

  43. isjeh says:

    brandi looks great!

  44. betty says:

    It appears to be a lot of envious women on this thread. Especially when it comes to boobs. Women go without underwear and seen with all their cheeks hanging out and pubic bones showing in bikinis, but that seems to be acceptable. Since when does and age motherhood dictate, what women wear. If it looks good on the wearer whatever the age that’s their choice. It might not be another’s personal preference, but different strokes for different folks.

  45. Lexi says:

    Its an okay outfit, better than that dress that left nothing to the imagination! Man i wish i had fake breast, if i did i would show them off

  46. Bijlee says:

    Am I the only one who hates Bruno Mars. I loved Locked out of Heaven, but the man annoys me.

  47. Michele says:

    She obviously looks great! What is not to like about long legs and boobs? This is how most women want to look but I guess everyone wants to pretend it’s awful to look sexy and amazing in a simple top and jeans. Stop the catty!

  48. bettyrose says:

    I’m much shorter and significantly less busty than her, but I would totally wear that outfit. I wouldn’t turn as many heads, but I’d feel pretty good about myself in it. It’s flattering and risque without being desperate and obvious.

  49. Bread and Circuses says:

    What happened to her hand and arm? All those scratches and bruises, and the bandage on her knuckles… Did she get falling down drunk again without a buddy to catch her this time?

    I do like the bustier. I’d like it more if she weren’t one sneeze away from her breasts spurting out of it.

    • Iggie says:

      Apparently she ‘broke’ her hand doing boxing. But if it was really broken, it would be in a cast. Not a teeny little bandage. Seems she just sprained it.

  50. Lizzy1013 says:

    Love her outfit! Now to me, she looks just as skinny as Angelina. Why does Angelina get all the criticism but no one mentions Brandi’s weight?

  51. Liz says:

    Dude. I love you, but…Pull. This. Up. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Have a little class, girl, please.

  52. Snowpea says:

    It’s not about the flashing the flesh…who cares?

    It’s about the quality of the threads, the nylon hair extensions, the overbotoxing.

    I remember YEARS ago Pam Anderson did a spread in UK mag The Face….and my god, she was smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooking hot.

    She was massively madeunder and wore a pair of white boxers, a white tuxedo jacket and minimal makeup. Anyone else remember it?

    Plus, Sharon Stone dresses sexy but look how she pulls it off, wearing quality garments? BG ALWAYS looks like she shops at Kmart.

  53. crtb says:

    She always looks like she is trying too hard. The top needs straps. Looks like it is going to slid down. Jeans look like something a 15 year old would wear.
    Shoes look like they come from Payless

  54. lian says:

    How has no one commented yet on her total arm hickey hook-up love bite? I hope it’s from Gerard Butler.
