Brace yourself! Courtney Love bares midriff in bizarre ensemble of baggy jeans held up by suspenders

PUBLISHED: 12:46 EST, 8 May 2013 | UPDATED: 13:01 EST, 8 May 2013

She has developed an increasingly eccentric reputation in recent years and is currently estranged from her daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

And it appears Courtney Love's fashion sense has gone the same way.

The 48-year-old star stepped out in a white vest top which exposed her midriff and baggy jeans held up by braces during a stroll in New York City on Tuesday.

It's in the jeans: Courtney Love sported an unflattering white vest top and baggy denim trousers held up with braces as she took a stroll around New York on Tuesday

The rocker teamed her outfit with a pair of brown moccasins, sunglasses and an oversized pastel pink bag.

She looked in good spirits, holding a lit cigarette as she strolled alongside a mystery male friend, at one point, shouting in his ear.

The pair paid a visit to a guitars store on trendy Bleecker Street in the trendy West Village.

Courtney recently reconnected with her rock star roots when she was spotted at the Coachella festival in California.

However, instead of performing, she spent much of her day promoting a new electronic cigarette line.

Young friend: Courtney appeared to be having a fun day out with her unidentified teenage companion

Frances Cobain's estrangement from Courtney began at 17-years-old, when she she got a restraining order against her mother and went to live with other family members.

It was later revealed in legal documents that the order was granted due to domestic violence claims against Love by her daughter

However, the 20-year-old has been taking charge of her life recently, buying a new $1.8m Hollywood Hills home and getting engaged to rocker Isaiah Silva .

In August 2010 she became a millionaire overnight when she inherited a trust fund set up in her name following her father's death back in 1994.

she's had lipo on her stomach and has aged and gained a little weight, which gives you that odd look

She looks like a typical NY artist to me.- Jocelyn, Brooklyn, United States, 8/5/2013 14:16.....................A typical NY artist who is not trying so hard. :) Unlike those hipsters, who I loathe. People may not like her, but she is really herself and doesn't care!
