Estimados colegas:

Tomado de una revista de modas:

"As fashion shows go ..... and glitzy clothes. But wearable? Hardly, unless one happens to be a monied music star or a rhinestone cowboy."

Muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda.

vaquero de espectáculo // vaquero de pedrería (brillante)
Explanation:

Un vaquero que sirve sólo para show, no sólo va vestido de vaquero aunque no sepa nada de nada, sino que "brilla" por el estrás o pedrería barata que exhibe.
Bueno, otra opción...

CANCIÓN: RHINESTONE COWBOY
Ive been walking these streets so long
singing the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
where hustles the name of the game
and nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain

theres been a load of compromising
on the road to my horizon
but Im gonna be where the lights are shining on me

like a rhinestone cowboy
riding out on a horse
in a star spangled rodeo
like a rhinestone cowboy
