Bethenny Frankel Dazzles in Confident Swimwear at 54
Bethenny Frankel is diving into her thong swimwear phase.
On Tuesday, June 2, Frankel, 54, shared a playful Instagram reel dancing in her kitchen while showcasing a daring swimsuit. She wore the Oh Polly x Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Ostend one-piece in a striking zebra print featuring an open back, red straps, and thong bottoms.
The Real Housewives of New York City star complemented the eye-catching style, priced at $88, with a white crop top adorned with red sleeves, which read “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” across the chest. She finished the look with large black sunglasses and layered gold bracelets.
In her post, she confidently declared, “If the internet says I’m a supermodel, who am I to argue?” adding, “[You] are whoever you know you are cuz you say so.”
Frankel’s latest skin-baring moment comes just days after receiving compliments for donning a thong bikini at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show on May 31.
As she graced the runway, Frankel removed her black sarong to unveil cheeky bottoms and a bright pink polka-dot bikini top by Toxic Sadie.
During the show, she captivated with a denim top and matching bottoms, both featuring a daring thong back. Additionally, she donned a leopard one-piece from Norma Kamali that offered a bit more coverage.
After the show, Frankel addressed critics wondering how her daughter Bryn, 15, whom she shares with ex Jason Hoppy, felt about her bold outfit.
