Bethenny Frankel looked in her element as she stormed the runway at Miami Swim Week on Saturday.
The Real Housewives icon, 55, ensured all eyes would be on her during the show as she modelled an array of tiny two pieces at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at W South Beach.
Bethenny put her toned abs on display in a crochet striped bikini before changing into a strappy black two piece and a plunging red swimsuit.
Despite being surrounded by professional models, Bethenny refused to be upstaged, dancing down the runway with Erin Marley Klay, who is also one of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 2026 Rookies.
While she was loving life on the runway, Bethenny revealed she was having just as much fun backstage, filming a video dancing with the models.
She captioned the clip: ‘your mother has arrived @si_swimsuit #siswim #yourewelcome’.

One person who was no doubt delighted to see Bethenny in such racy attire is her new boyfriend, Shane Campbell.
Earlier this month, Bethenny went Instagram official with the former pro hockey player and investment banker, posting a snap of the pair passionately kissing during a roller skating date.
She captioned the snap: ‘If a launch is hard this is a diamond…’
The reality star and the handsome Miami native were first linked last month and made their first public appearance together at the 2026 Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach.
‘Bethenny is the happiest she’s ever been and is fully in her intentional dating era,’ a source told the Daily Mail in April.
The pair ‘were holding hands during the entire event and barely left each other’s side’ a second source shared.
The insider added that they ‘seemed to enjoy each other’s company.’
Shane is a senior managing director at FTI Consulting.
Bethenny – who recently launched a dating membership community called The Core – raved about a new suitor in an Instagram video last month.
She recalled how she and the man, whom she did not name, had been texting until she ‘shut it down’ because it ‘became a little bread-crumby.’
However, they later reconnected at a bar and he then went on to call her before driving ‘an hour and a half’ to see her.
The two enjoyed a ‘five-hour date’ followed by additional dates that were ‘very planned out and very intentional and very chivalrous.’
Bethenny was feeling the beat and also roped American rugby union player Ilona Maher into a dance on the catwalk

Bethenny also gushed about the man offering to pick her up from the airport.
She also marveled at him taking her on a date that was like ‘something you would experience on The Bachelor.’
‘There are still amazing men out there,’ she said, adding, ‘Do not settle. Do not accept breadcrumbs. Do not accept low-hanging fruit and low lifts of just, like, checking in with you and giving you the news and the weather.’
‘A man has to have a plan to move the ball forward and show you exactly how they feel about you,’ she stressed.
Bethenny was previously married to Jason Hoppy, 55, with whom she shares 15-year-old daughter Bryn.
