She may have missed a few seasons of RHONY, but one thing Bethenny Frankel’s never missed, is an opportunity to slay on the red carpet. From body-con minis to elegant floor-length gowns, this housewife is a fashion star for a reason.
Since being introduced to one of our favourite housewives in 2008 (sorry y’all, but it’s true), we’ve closely followed Bethenny’s sartorial journey. Because it’s a new season (the show and spring!), we’re taking a look back at some of Bethenny’s most memorable fashion moments.

Red, red wine
Bethenny looked absolutely gorgeous in this floor-length wine-coloured gown at the 2016 Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Hot Pink Party in April.
2 / 50
Power woman
Attending a gala hosted by The Hollywood Reporter, Bethenny looked both sexy and sophisticated in this mid-length LBD.
3 / 50
Living on the edge
In probably one of her edgiest looks yet, Bethenny said goodbye to her brown hair in favour of a bright red 'do, which perfectly complemented her black-and-white jumpsuit.
4 / 50
Black and white
Clearly one of her favourite colour combinations, Bethenny dons another black-and-white get-up during Advertising Week 2015 in New York City.
5 / 50
Killer combo
We're not sure what we love more: how killer Bethenny looks in a crop top (at 45, no less!) or how wicked she looks in that bright pink lipstick.
6 / 50
Stylish suiting
Now this, friends, is how you rock a suit on a red carpet. And that shade of purple? Swoon.
7 / 50
Dots for days
Another Skinnygirl launch party, another gorgeous getup from Ms. B; this LBD with metallic polka dots is a winning combo for the CEO.
8 / 50
Jumping for jumpsuits
Bethenny is a big fan of jumpsuits and we can see why. They flatter her amazing figure, and look super chic.
9 / 50
Lady in red
Another one of Bethenny's go-to shades on the red carpet is--wait for it!--red. The colour looks amazing on her.
10 / 50
Business attire
If anyone can make a business-appropriate outfit work for a fashion party, it's Bethenny.
11 / 50
Glamazon
Talk about a glamorous moment! Bethenny looks ethereal in this beige and silver evening gown.
12 / 50
Pretty in pink
It's not easy to wear baby pink on a red carpet, but if anyone can do it, Bethenny can.
13 / 50
Green with envy
This isn't one of Bethenny's go-to shades, but we think it should be. (We hope her stylist is listening.)
14 / 50
Rock ‘n’ roll
This rock glam look is one of our faves.
15 / 50
Sexy in sequins
Embellished skirts had a big moment in 2014, and big surprise, Bethenny was ahead of the trend, wearing one to the one-year anniversary of the 40/40 club in June 2013.
16 / 50
Asymmetrical style
Another LBD win for Bethenny, this one-sleeved black dress was a perfect choice for the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2013.
17 / 50
Bravo for beads
If you need a way to glam up a black-and-white mini, do as Bethenny does, and go for a beaded number.
18 / 50
Brocade babe
Bethenny wore this gorgeous two-tone mini to the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2012.
19 / 50
Winter whites
Winter whites are a hot fashion topic, and we think Bethenny pulls the trend off effortlessly in this beaded white mini.
20 / 50
Going green
Another green win for the entrepreneur, this jumpsuit hits all the right style notes at the 2012 Bravo Upfronts.
21 / 50
Summer style
Who else can pull off a bright pink dress with orange shoes?
22 / 50
Brand ambassador
Despite matching the step-and-repeat and the launch of Skinnygirl Daily, Bethenny makes this classic colour combination work.
23 / 50
Leather lady
This black and silver LBD (cinched with a leather belt!) is one of Bethenny's best looks.
24 / 50
Really ruffled
Sometimes all an LBD needs is a little (or a lot) of ruffles.
25 / 50
Radiant in red
A red satin shift dress (with a gold metal belt) isn't the easiest look to pull off, but we have to say Bethenny #nailedit.
26 / 50
Violet vixen
Another hue we think Ms. B should wear more of is purple. This mid-length violet figure-hugging dress is one of her best looks yet.
27 / 50
Super sexy in satin
Bethenny's definitely playing the part of stylish New Yorker at the party for US Weekly's 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers in 2010.
28 / 50
Lovely in lace
This lace ruffled number was the perfect choice for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.
29 / 50
Glam in grey
Ruched in all the right places, this fitted grey dress looked killer on the new Mama.
30 / 50
Hitting the target
Another red win on the red carpet, Bethenny rocked this simple red dress to the grand opening of the East Harlem Target in 2010.
31 / 50
Blue for baby
Bethenny proves you can never go wrong with a classic in this periwinkle blue wrap dress.
32 / 50
Pretty polo
If this isn't the perfect polo outfit, then we don't know what is.
33 / 50
Hot mama
Bethenny debuted her baby bump on the Bravo blue carpet in a glam LBD at the 2010 Upfronts.
34 / 50
Definitely a diva
Bethenny pulled out all the sartorial stops for the 2001 VH1 Divas special, wearing this floor-length mermaid gown.
35 / 50
Mad for metallics
This metallic mini is more proof that purple is one of Bethenny's best colours.
36 / 50
Taste of tennis
Looking pretty much ready to hit the court, this nautical-inspired shift dress was the perfect choice for this tennis event.
37 / 50
Ode to ombre
Before it was the biggest thing ever, Bethenny was rocking ombre way back in 2009.
38 / 50
Grecian goddess
Wearing cut-outs before cut-outs were even a thing, Bethenny looks smokin' hot in this floor-length white gown.
39 / 50
Sheer genius
Look familiar? It might since almost every star has been wearing a version of this dress this year.
40 / 50
Bold bows
In standard Bethenny fashion, the stylish star rocks a black-and-white outfit to a UNICEF party in 2009.
41 / 50
Trendsetter
We know Bethenny has a soft spot for embellished dresses, and we think this is one of her best ever.
42 / 50
Doing it for The Derby
At the 2009 Kentucky Derby, Bethenny really got into the spirit in this over-the-top jumpsuit and oversized hat.
43 / 50
Back to black
In a much more demure (and fashion-forward) moment, Bethenny wore a sleek black jumpsuit to this TV premiere.
44 / 50
The colour purple
This sequined figure-hugging dress looked glamorous and gorgeous at the season two premiere of RHONY.
45 / 50
Seeing red
Sometimes less is more, as Ms. B proves in this simple red shift dress.
46 / 50
One-piece winner
If you needed any more proof that jumpsuits are always a good choice, we'd say this is it.
47 / 50
Nearly nude
Take notes: this is how you do lingerie dressing right.
48 / 50
Gold medal
This gold dress deserves a gold medal. (Just look at that detailing!)
49 / 50
All tied up
Question: What do you wear to a Victoria's Secret fashion show? Answer: This.
50 / 50
Buckle up
This might just be the least boring LBD ever worn on a red carpet.
