Bethenny Frankel is officially a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.
The 55-year-old Bravo star-turned-businesswoman, now the newest addition to SI Swimsuit, traveled to Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico, for a shoot for the iconic magazine’s 2026 issue.
Frankel’s partnership with Bikini Bible began last summer when she appeared at the Sports Illustrated runway show in Miami.
“I just wanted to be myself,” she told Page Six Style after the show, adding that it was all about “being confident and having fun.”
“No one confuses me with a model, and trying to be a model is not real,” she added, but Frankel may have to change her attitude now that she’s featured in the latest issue of SI Swimsuit.
In the 2026 Frankel & Sports Illustrated magazine image shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the entrepreneur stands in profile, modeling a printed Tropic of C bikini top ($100) and bottom ($100).
Her hair flows down her back in beachy waves.
Frankel also shared behind-the-scenes footage from the set and quipped, “Does anyone have water? B.C. I’m so thirsty today…”
The new issue features Brooks Nader, Ilona Maher, Molly Sims, Livvy Dunn, and more.
Frankel recently moved to Florida with her daughter Bryn and two Lhasa Apsos, Biggie and Smalls, after calling New York and then Connecticut home.
