Bethenny Frankel turned heads at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show, commanding the spotlight with confidence and flair. The 54-year-old stunned the Miami audience in several striking swimsuits, but it was her bold polka-dot thong bikini that stole the spotlight.
Mid-walk, she tossed aside her sheer sarong, spun around to show off the daring look. She struck a playful “oops!” pose, reminding everyone that confidence knows no age.

Frankel walked the runway alongside stars like Remi Bader and Stassi Schroeder. She called the event “the best example of women supporting women.” She shared behind-the-scenes photos from the show with the caption “Nailed it”.
The former Real Housewives of New York City star also showcased multiple swimsuits. Among them was a high-waisted leopard print one-piece and a denim bikini paired with a cowboy hat.
“Body Goals”
The comments section on the post praised Frankel on her amazing body and confidence to rock it.
“Coming in hot 🔥,” commented celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, while actress Daniella Monet added, “It’s such a yes.”
Fans also commented positively: “Ok she looks phenomenal,” said one comment while another cheered on: “Okay so this is what 50s can look like?????🔥❤️🙌”.
Frankel, who recently announced her permanent move to Florida, shared multiple Instagram posts reflecting on the experience.
“I didn’t know much going into it. I mean, I know it’s a magazine, and I know that once a year they do a swimsuit issue. What I didn’t know is what the culture is like there, and I didn’t know who 90% of the women were. I will tell you that the resounding theme and culture is women supporting women,” Frankel said in the June 1 video.
She described it as “an amazing experience,” adding, “I’ve never felt the kind of female support I experienced with SI Swimsuit.”
With a body like that she can get all the support she wants.
