Bethenny Frankel is a ray of sunshine in smiley face sweats and pink bunny slippers as she stops by Today show in New York City

Bethenny Frankel was a ray of sunshine in smiley face sweats during an early morning appearance in New York this week.

The 52-year-old, who famously used to be on The Real Housewives Of New York City, was off to tape an appearance on the Today show.

When she arrived at the studio, she was the picture of casual good cheer in a beige set of sweats splashed with upbeat emoji.

Letting her signature dark hair down, she hoofed it around the city in a pair of fuzzy slippers and warded off the rays with bronze-tinted shades.

She had a beverage in hand as she kicked off her morning with gusto, even doing a sprightly little dance as she crossed the sidewalk.

Swank: Bethenny Frankel was a ray of sunshine in smiley face sweats during an early morning appearance in New York this week 

Demonstrating her enviable agility, the Skinnygirl mogul threw in a couple of high kicks before heading into the studio to be on Today.

Bethenny emerged from her taping in full hair and makeup, dressed for success in a sleek pink skirt with a white top.

Tucked in to emphasize her impressively svelte waistline, the top featured puffed-out, serrated short sleeves in a touch reminiscent of the 1980s.

Swinging a floral purse as she went about on her way, the 5’7″ TV personality lent herself a touch of extra stature by balancing on a towering pair of heels. 

In recent days Bethenny has been doing the publicity rounds in aid of Forever Young Rosé, her first foray into the wine industry.

Despite her years of success flogging pre-made cocktails via Skinnygirl, she revealed in a new interview that she personally tends not to indulge in spirits nowadays.

‘I don’t really drink hard alcohol anymore, for health reasons,’ she told O. ‘If I do have a cocktail, I like it to be reasonable and sippable.’

Bethenny added: ‘But I’ve noticed the women who have followed me are in a similar space. They aren’t partying like they used to when drinking margaritas.’

The former daytime TV host noted: ‘I have a daughter now – do I want people pounding cocktails? I’m also in a nonalcoholic brand called Mingle Mocktails, which are great when you don’t want to drink or if you’ve gone dry.’

Bethenny shares her 13-year-old daughter Bryn with her second husband Jason Hoppy, against whom she fought a bitter, protracted custody battle.

Her latest public appearance comes weeks after she fired back at a ‘jealous’ TikTok troll who accused her of having breast implants. 

Bethenny, who as a young woman was briefly Paris Hilton’s nanny, did once have a breast augmentation but eventually got the implant removed in favor of a lift. 

A woman leapt into Bethenny’s TikTok comments to laugh about ‘Those implants,’ to which Bethenny retorted: ‘Nope. Try again. A lift years ago. Still jealous?’
