Kelly Bensimon rocks a sparkling silver sequin top with leather slacks while out and about in New York City


She found television fame starring on the Real Housewives of New York City a decade ago and then pivoted into a real estate career.

And Kelly Bensimon looked chic-as-can-be leaving the studio after recording her new Hey Guys, Hey podcast in New York City on Thursday morning.

The 53-year-old former model rocked a sparkling sequin top with leather slacks as she caught up with actor Dean Winters post-show in Manhattan.

Kelly stayed warm in the brisk winter weather wearing a cozy white shearling coat with oversized pockets and a high neckline.

She added a sparkling touch with a long sequined blouse tucked into a pair of black trousers, and wore a classic pair of pumps.

Her dark blonde hair was worn parted down the middle with loose curls cascading down her back, and she wore a black face mask amid surging cases of the omicron variant of COVID-19.

Kelly was rumored to be dating Alex Rodriguez months ago, and was spotted making out with a former flame, Nick Stefanov, earlier in the year despite their tumultuous history where she was arrested in 2009 for allegedly punching him in the face.

‘She was arrested on March 5 at 9:10 a.m. for punching her fiancé in the face, and [she] gave him a laceration under his left eye. She was arrested for assault — it’s a misdemeanor,’ the New York City Police Department told People at the time. 

The New York Post reported that Bensimon may have also been attacked, as a source said she was sporting ‘a fat lip.’

The former model initially pleaded not guilty to the charge of misdemeanor third-degree assault, but she later entered into a plea deal which only required her to perform two days of community service.

Even at the time, Bensimon and Stefanov were reported to be dating on and off, and the two have continued to come back to each other in the ensuing 11 years. 

Kelly became a household name after starring as a main character on three seasons of RHONY between 2009-11 before taking on a guest role for seasons six and seven. 

The former model shares her two daughters, Sea and Thaddeus, with photographer husband Giles Bensimon.
