Bethenny Frankel responded to criticism of her strut during the Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris Walk Your Worth show.
Frankel, 53, clapped back at a hater via Instagram on Monday, September 23, who commented “That walk. What the….” on Frankel’s video of herself strutting down the brand’s spring 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week.
“I chose those shoes,” Frankel said of her super tall black platform heels. “L’Oréal said, ‘You can pick anything you want,’ and I chose those shoes because I wanted to be like a giraffe with those elongated legs.”

Frankel paired her heels with a silky black mini dress featuring pastel pink petals over her chest and a bedazzled stem that cascaded from her chest to her hem. The frock was complete with a single off-the-shoulder sleeve.
