What Bethenny Frankel's daughter, 15, REALLY thinks of her barely-there bikini moment
Bethenny Frankel has revealed what her 15-year-old daughter, Bryn Hoppy, really thought of her strutting her stuff in a thong bikini on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway this weekend.
On Saturday, the 54-year-old stunned audiences around the world as she left little to the imagination during the show, at one point even turning around to show her backside, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise.
The Skinnygirl founder wore multiple looks, showing off her toned legs and stomach in a sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up, which she later ripped off to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath.
Later on in the evening, she sported another outfit - this time walking in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat.
She also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit, which showed off her extremely toned legs.
Her runway appearance even caught the attention of Lauren Sanchez, who re-posted a clip of Frankel parading down the runway in the pink polka dot bikini to her Instagram Stories on Sunday.
'We all need this energy,' the future Mrs. Bezos wrote in white text over the video.
'And this body! Wow wow,' Sanchez continued her message, which was followed with a star-eyed, smiley-face emoji.

But according to the former Real Housewives of New York star, Sanchez wasn't the only one who gave her stamp of approval on the viral moment - it turns out her daughter was a fan, too.
Following the show, Frankel hit back at haters on TikTok who wanted to know her daughter's reaction.
'People said, "What would your daughter say?" and I know, because the peanut just FaceTimed me,' Frankel said in the beginning of the video, referring to her 15-year-old.
'She said, "Mama, I saw you, you did so good..." and she said, "You have such a cute tush, mama!"' the former reality star shared.
She also added that her daughter said that Frankel looked '30 years old' on that runway.
Although her daughter wasn't able to make the show, the 54-year-old shared that she wished that she had been there to see the amazing 'spirit' of the women who were featured in the event behind-the-scenes.
'I wished she were there with this group, because the body positivity, and the women, like, owning their bodies... was so amazing, and I want that for her,' Frankel shared.
'She has the most beautiful body, and I want to be on that runway with her, you know?' she continued. 'Like showing her what that was like.'

The reality TV personality previously explained that living with just Bryn in an overly spacious house in New York 'was drowning her.'
'It was just the two of us,' she said in a TikTok video. 'It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life.
'I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I'd be entertaining there a lot.'
She continued: 'The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents.
'It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn't really know many people in that community. It was lonely.'
