Bethenny Frankel Rewears Tight Skirt for 1st Time Since 2017: ‘Ripped That Thing Off in the Car’

Bethenny Frankel’s closet is so timeless, she’s still wearing pieces from 2017.

Frankel, 54, showed off a number of outfits while out and about in New York City via Instagram on Monday, November 18. In one snap, she wore a funky black-and-white skirt featuring chevron stripes made of fur and beads, a leather belt and a horizontal pattern at the hem. She teamed the look with a white fitted ribbed sweater, pointed-toe heels and a black Chanel purse.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum glammed up her look with a gold watch, diamond bracelets and a chunky ring. For beauty, she donned a full beat, thanks to Charlotte Tilbury makeup artist Alex Rutkovskiy. She wore dewy foundation, filled-in eyebrows, sparkly pink eyeshadow, long lashes and glossy lips.

Frankel’s brunette hair was styled in an updo with her front pieces worn down and curled.

Frankel first wore the skirt in May 2017, at a NBCUniversal Upfront at Radio City Music Hall event in New York City.

At the time, she styled the piece with a black sleeveless halter top, Cartier bracelets, black heels and dainty earrings.

Frankel reminisced on the garment via Instagram, sharing, “Well I haven’t worn the black-and-white skirt since 2017 and I don’t subscribe to the beauty is pain model… I ripped that thing off as soon as I got in the car.” 
She continued, “P.S.. Every article of clothing or shoes I am wearing is years old so, like NYC, classic pieces are timeless.”

Fans complimented Frankel’s re-worn ensemble in the comments section.

“You look adorable as usual,” one wrote, as another quipped, “You’re Killin’ it even if it’s killin’ you to wear it!! 🔥.” A third follower complimented another outfit she wore in the carousel of photos, “Love the leopard skirt with the red blouse!”

Frankel is proof that trends always come back around, as she effortlessly slayed in a cheetah-print pleated skirt — which has made a boom this fall — with a cherry top featuring a necktie.

Elsewhere in the social media post, Frankel showed off a leather minidress, which she paired with a black coat featuring a fuzzy collar.
