Courtney Robertson, the much-maligned finalist on “The Bachelor,” was spotted yesterday trying on a wedding gown in a Beverly Hills shop.
Photos show Robertson inside designer Mark Zunino’s Beverly Hills store being fitted into a mermaid-style, strapless wedding gown with feathers around the bust and train. In one photo, Robertson waves to the camera while wearing the dress. In another, she gazes at her image in a mirror, her arm thrown around the designer, with a faint smile on her face.
BEN FLAJNIK’S ‘BACHELOR’ ENGAGEMENT RING LEAKED
Robertson, a model from Arizona, is one of the two women Ben Flajnik chooses between on the season finale of “The Bachelor,” which will air on ABC on March 13. It’s unclear if Robertson’s gown fitting means that she is the woman Flajnik picks in the end, and that the two are moving forward with plans to marry, or if Robertson was simply trying on the dress for a photo shoot or modeling gig.
The brunette stunner has posed in bridal-themed shoots before, including in a campaign for the Hearts on Fire diamond jewelry collection from Michael C. Fina.
It is also possible that Robertson tried on the gown in view of photographers as a way to play mind games with the other contestants on the show. Throughout this season of “The Bachelor,” 28-year-old Robertson has earned a reputation as a mean girl, sneaking out behind the other women’s backs to take Flajnik skinny dipping and saying disparaging comments about them on camera. Us Weekly even reports that Robertson nicknamed the other three of the final four contestants “Fatty,” “Horsey” and “The Kid.”
Still, reports say that Flajnik, a winemaker in Sonoma, picks Robertson in the end over horse enthusiast Linzi Cox.
“They are engaged to be married, but Courtney isn’t allowed to wear her ring yet,” a source told the website Wetpaint. “Ben had [the ring] made specifically for Courtney. [Flajnik] put a lot of thought into [the ring] and worked closely with [jeweler] Neil [Lane] to create what he hoped would be the ring of her dreams.”
Flajnik is not Robertson’s first famous beau. She has also been linked to “Entourage” star Adrian Grenier, Jesse Metcalfe of “Desperate Housewives” and Jim Toth, the CAA agent who went on to marry Reese Witherspoon.
