Reality television star Brittany Cartwright made a bold and confident appearance at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Friday, captivating onlookers in a strikingly sheer black minidress. The event, held at Caesars Forum, saw the TV personality showcasing her figure just over a month after undergoing a significant surgical transformation.
A Confident New Chapter
Cartwright's ensemble, a tiny black netted frock, left little to the imagination, a choice that highlighted her renewed self-assurance. She complemented the daring look with a pair of black pointy heels, which accentuated her toned legs. This public appearance served as a powerful reveal following her recent tummy tuck and breast reduction, procedures she has openly discussed with her fans.
The surgeries, which took place just over one month prior to BravoCon, mark what her representative, Lori Krebs, described to Us Weekly as an empowering new chapter in her journey of self-confidence, healing, and growth. Krebs confirmed that the procedures constituted a 'mommy makeover', something Cartwright had desired for a long time.
The Road to Recovery
Cartwright has been remarkably transparent about her post-operative experience. Three weeks after the operations, she told her followers she was 'sore' but thrilled with the outcome. In a social media post, she expressed her happiness, writing, I’m so happy with my decision, do whatever makes you happy with your own body and lift other women up always!
She further emphasised body positivity, stating, Everyone may not take the route I chose and I truly believe a woman’s body is incredible no matter what and deserves all the love! Her recovery has been a gradual process. Last week, she updated fans again, sharing that she had her surgical drains removed. The mom-of-one reported that the procedure caused 'hardly any pain' and that she instantly felt 'so much better,' despite still being 'very swollen.'
An insider revealed to Us Weekly that part of Cartwright's procedure involved removing her previous breast implants and replacing them with new ones. The operations were performed by Dr. Payman Danielpour and Dr. John Layke.
Support and Personal Transformation
Cartwright's bold BravoCon look was met with a wave of support from her peers in the entertainment industry. Friend Kristen Doute exclaimed, 'DAYUMMMMMM ❤️ so sparkly inside and out,' while Scheana Shay simply posted, 'YES GIRL.' Tamra Judge added her praise, saying, 'You look amazing always. Hope you feel back to normal soon.'
This physical transformation follows a period of significant personal change for Cartwright. The surgery comes a year after she filed for divorce from Jax Taylor, her husband of five years, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' Prior to the public announcement of their split in February 2024, the couple, who share a four-year-old son named Cruz, had been living separately for months.
In a candid interview with Us Weekly last year, Cartwright opened up about how marital struggles and a lack of intimacy had affected her self-esteem. 'I felt like I wasn't good enough,' she explained. 'If you start to feel like your partner doesn't want you and they're also being mean to you, it's like, "What am I doing here?" I'm basically living with a roommate. I hit my breaking point.' She expressed a firm desire not to remain in an unhappy, sexless marriage for the rest of her life.
Through her surgery and her stylish appearance at BravoCon, Brittany Cartwright has powerfully demonstrated her commitment to a new path focused on her own well-being and self-love.
