Courtney Love was spotted stumbling around the streets of Manhattan last night after leaving the party of the Salvatore Ferragamo’s launch of their Signorina Fragrance at Palazzo Chupi in New York with the aid of an assistant to prop her up.

Looking worse for wear, it was almost as if Courtney Love, 47, had stepped back in time to her hellraiser days.

Courtney Love says she’s clean these days, but certainly seemed addled by something.

Last night, Courtney Love refused to confound anyone’s expectations with the rapid transformation from red carpet winner to hedonistic casualty.

When Courtney Love arrived at the fashion soiree, she hit all the right notes.

The little leather dress was perfect for her and evoked memories of her strongest role, that of a visceral she-rocker.

Her hair also looked incredibly similar to the ultimate grunge blonde shoulder-length bob she sported in the early 90s’ when she was hugely successful in her own right, and married to the late legendary, Kurt Cobain.

But at Courtney Love’s age, and after her dramas, she should merely pay homage to her rock ‘n’ roll past, and not still be trying to live it.

Worryingly, that’s just what she appeared to be doing last night as she stumbled through the streets of Manhattan last night.

Seeming to need the aid of a friend or assistant, the mother-of-one couldn’t manage to walk alone.

Courtney Love’s right hand was also covered in troubling red marks; possibly from a burn.

She has also expressed an interest in fashion, starting up the blog What Courtney Wore Today and playing with Hole at high-profile fashion shows for design houses like Givenchy.

But the fashion crowd is fickle, and if she becomes an embarrassment it’s likely she’ll be frozen out of that crowd, too.
