Bethenny Frankel has risen to fame as the most opinionated and independent of the women featured on the ‘Real Housewives of New York City‘. The sharp-tongued, witty baker from the Bravo hit is reportedly getting her own spin-off reality show which will chronicle her life as a natural foods chef and bestselling author, as well as her romance with boyfriend (and rumored fiancé) Jason Hoppy. The new show will be called “Skinny & The City”. Life & Style Magazine also reports that the reality star is working on a second book about “romance, money and friends” inspired by ‘Housewives’ co-star Kelly Killoren Bensimon.
As we bid adieu to a very memorable season of The Real Housewives of New York City, I find myself in a reflective mood. Therefore this week’s Real Housewives Fashion Recap will look back at the most noteworthy outfits from Season 2.
Each character has a unique style and this season the ladies seemed even more confident in displaying it. Whether it was Ramona with her Lilly Pulitzer byday and metallic minis by night, or Kelly’s “Look at me, I am Bohemian” tunics, there was no shortage of looks to choose from for the “Most Memorable Outfit” category.
However, I have shed blood, sweat and tears going through the numerous looks from this season, and have come up with the following. Which are your faves?

When it comes to the myriad of “characters” that make up the Real Housewives, no one compares to Bethenny Frankel, from The Real Housewives of New York City. Not only is Bethenny the most down-to-earth and humble of the ladies, she is kicking-butt with her culinary career (BethennyBakes) and still appears to remain accessible. (Oh and she has “supposedly” been spotted going on dates with Yankee’s bad boy, Alex Rodriguez, which doesn’t necessarily make me like her less/more, but I just read about that so I thought I would mention it.)
Personality and baseball aside, Bethenny has a distinct style that separates her from the rest of the “Six in the City”. In our interview with Bethenny, she told us that her style is “classic, flirty and slightly sexy.” While Bethenny claims that the two staples in her wardrobe are Levi’s and white J.Crew tank tops, she can definitely turn it up if need be. On last night’s episode for example, Bethenny rocked a black cap sleeve Zac Posen dress and sexy peep-toe Louboutins.
Halloween is by far one of the best holidays of the year! I think those who are into fashion take particular enjoyment in this holiday as we have an excuse to give ourselves a whole new style for the day. And this was no exception for The Real Housewives of New York, as displayed on last night’s episode.
Kelly Killoren Bensimon came (late) to her party as a Playboy Bunny, Ramona and her dog rocked Robin Hood get-ups, and Bethenny showed up as a hot Roller Girl ala Boogie Nights.
If it was my vote, I would give best costume to LuAnn as a sexy Native American.
On tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of New York everyone’s favorite housewife Bethenny Frankel lands the cover of Social Life Magazine and she looks fabulous! I am a super fan of Bethenny’s self-described “classic, flirty and slighty sexy” style, and I HAD to get the scoop on what she was wearing on this shoot.
Let’s start with the dress on the cover. This adorable pink number is from New York based Malaysian fashion designer, Zang Toi.
Second up - Bethenny’s purple polka dot dress. This number is from Tibi and is available online - Hooray!
Lastly - the light blue dress with brown accents. This dress is from designer Nicole Hanley, who was once a Ralph Lauren stylist. When in New York make sure to visit her boutique eponymously named Hanley.
Now you too can have the Socialite Style!
