After viral swimsuit show in Miami Beach, Bethenny Frankel has a message for haters
Bethenny Frankel worked hard for that body, so you can't blame her for wanting to show it off. Three days after her jaw-dropping appearance at the Sports Illustrated show at the W South Beach Saturday night, Frankel was back in her element — a bathing suit. On Tuesday morning, the 54-year-old Skinnygirl founder posted an Instagram video in her kitchen mixing up a smoothie in a blender. The NSFW hot-girl anthem she was dancing to is 'Ran Out,' by the City Girls' JT. We can't reprint the lyrics here, but they involve shaking one's, um, rear end — which she did, while rocking a zebra print one piece and crop top. Hashtags included #supermodel. #imthatb and #cuzisayso. Frankel wasn't done riding the wave. A few hours later, the onetime 'Real Housewives' star sent a shout-out to both her fans as well as (ageist) haters.

In the clip, Frankel rocked a variety of skimpy-meets-stunning styles, accessorized by hair extensions, a spray tan and killer abs. 'Whether you're 18 or 98,' said the post, 'everyone deserves to feel alive, happy, and free.' Most of the commenters seemed to be sending positive vibes her way. 'Breaking the Internet and we're here for it!' 'Rock it ladies at any age!' 'You are such an inspiration.' 'Yes, queen.'

The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 54, took to Instagram to address the discourse around her appearance at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's Swim Week 2025 runway show in Miami. On the catwalk on Saturday, May 31, Frankel showed off her toned physique in a variety of sexy swim looks, from cheeky bikinis to a leopard-print one-piece. "So I guess we have to discuss what I looked like on that runway because the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair," the star said in a video shared on Monday, June 2. In the clip, Frankel sports a black one-piece swimsuit with cutout details. "Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior," she continued, adding that there was "a lot of glam, a lot of contouring and a lot of lighting." Frankel added that she's "never been vain," and that in her normal life, she doesn't wear makeup and prefers "to stay home." "I look like a train wreck most of the time," she said. "That's me.

She recalled being 25 pounds heavier in her early 30s due to being "fixated and obsessed" and stuck in a loop of binging and restricting. "My body is natural," she later noted. "I don't do weights. And the reason my body is natural is because the exercise I do and have always done for my body is natural. I'll go months without exercise and definitely days without doing anything but I always come back to it." Frankel concluded the video by saying, "I want you to allow yourselves to have, but not beat yourselves up when you do indulge. And I want you to have a good relationship with food and exercise and that doesn't mean being screamed at in a gym or beating yourself up and telling yourself that you have to kill yourself. You don't. It's healthier to just be healthy." ! Frankel's runway appearance comes after she announced her permanent move to Florida last month.

See the hottest looks at SI swimsuit show in SoBe — including an unlikely star
If there is one rule of Miami Swim Week, it's this: The Sports Illustrated swimsuit show never, ever disappoints. Saturday night's annual shindig at the W South Beach hotel was a looker, as always. Beside professional models like Jena Sims, Xandra Pohl and Penny Lane, other accomplished women in all shapes and sizes wowed the crowd. The fabulous participants showing off the hottest trends at the SI Swimsuit 2025 Runway Show (think lots of animal prints and cowgirl accents) included reality stars, influencers and athletes. Leading the charge was Paralympic swimmer Ali Truwit, who lost part of her leg in a shark attack two years ago in Turks and Caicos. The Yale grad proved she was unstoppable, taking to the runway with a prosthetic — and a big smile. Other athletes in the mix were Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles (who made the cover of the swimsuit issue, currently on the stands) and rugby champ Ilona Maher, last seen in town a few months ago, discovering what the fuss was all about at Joe's Stone Crab. More honorable mentions go out to WAGs star Nicole Williams English; blogger extraordinaire Achieng Agutu; and local influencer Alix Earle, who looks more than ready to take to the ballroom in 'Dancing with the Stars.' But the unlikely star of the all inclusive show? 'Real Housewives of NYC' alum Bethenny Frankel, who didn't come to play, but to slay. The reality star, who recently moved to South Florida, showed off the fruits of self-care and good eating habits (think lots of caviar and chicken salad). Sporting long, highlighted extensions and rock hard abs, the Bravolebrity, 54, strutted down the catwalk in a variety of bikinis, all of them skimpier than the next. After the event, Sports Illustrated shared a Frankel-filled montage on Instagram and the mag's followers were shooketh. The commenters, most of whom threw down a lot of 'wows' and fire emojis, couldn't believe their eyes. 'She looks incredible. Dang.' 'OK, so this is what 50s can look like???' 'Girllll, get it.' On Monday morning, Frankel humbly addressed her fans about how she pulled it off. 'The Internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair,' she said. 'Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior ... there is a lot of glam, a lot of contouring.' The Skinnygirl founder went on to say in her signature blunt way that she is not vain or fixated on looks. But when she has to go big, she can and will — and you can, too 'If we go in, we go hard,' said the single mother of one. 'But otherwise, I like to stay home. I look like a train wreck most of the time. That's me, that's what I want.' Frankel added she didn't eat anything in particular or work with a trainer to prep for her moment in the spotlight. 'I do not crash diet, I don't go to a gym, I don't have a workout, I walk on the beach,' she said. 'Everything I do has balance. I self regulate. I have a good relationship with food and exercise. My body is natural. It's healthier to just be healthy.'

Bethenny Frankel Commanded the Runway at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show & Fans Are in Awe
This past weekend, on May 31st, celebrities, models, athletes and reality TV icons walked the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show. Among them was The Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel, who commanded the show not once or twice, but three times! On the runway, Frankel, 54, wowed in three distinct looks: a daring leopard-print one-piece, a double-denim bikini with a matching cowboy hat and a pink polka-dot two-piece with a tiny black cover-up. More from SheKnows Iskra Lawrence's Baby Daughter Prima Made Her Runway Debut at 7 Months Old Alongside Her Mama In videos of her walking the catwalk, Frankel is seen dancing her way down the runway while she's rocking glowy, bronze makeup and long chocolate-highlighted locks. 'Okay so this is what 50s can look like?????🔥❤️🙌' wrote a follower in the comment section. 'Let's be real: we all want to look and feel this confident in our 50s,' echoed another. 'Bethenny crushed it—own it, don't knock it. 👙🍑🔥' In fact, Frankel looked so incredible on the runway that fans are lining up to hear her tips and tricks. 'Okay, so I guess we need to discuss what I looked like on that runway because the internet is fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair,' Frankel said in a candid Instagram video. 'Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman who was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior. It was everybody's job and that's what goes on in Hollywood and the entertainment industry in the pictures that you and your daughters see of women. There's a lot of work that goes into that.' Frankel then goes on to explain that she doesn't go to extremes when it comes to her body and her nutrition. Instead, she follows what feels right, like taking walks on the beach or eating healthier after having a few heavy meals. 'I do not crash diet, I don't go to a gym, I walk on the beach, everything I do has balance,' she said. 'I have a good relationship with food and exercise, but it wasn't always that way.' Following the runway, which also saw major stars like Stassi Schroeder, Jordan Chiles, Livvy Dunne and Ilona Maher, Frankel got candid about the experience. 'I will tell you that the resounding theme and culture is women supporting women,' she told her Instagram followers in another video. 'I have never seen the level of female support that I experienced here.' 'There were women who went out of their way to go, 'I want to talk to you about your walk,' 'What are you going to do?' 'You look good,'' she continued. 'Not just compliments, but helping and genuinely wanting other women to win. And it makes you want other women to win, and it's contagious.' She then admitted that she wasn't exactly nervous to hit the runway. 'I wasn't nervous, I was aware of my age, that I'm not a model, and I was just like 'Am I going to stick this landing or am I going to make an absolute fool of myself and embarrass you guys?'' she said. From the looks of it, Frankel not only rocked the runway but also left her followers in absolute awe!Best of SheKnows All the Men Marilyn Monroe Reportedly Had Relationships With Throughout Her Short Life 30 Photos of Marilyn Monroe's Too-Short Life, From 1947-1962 Every Time Heidi Klum's Gorgeous, Colorful Fashion Choices Stopped Us in Our Tracks
