Bethenny Frankel, 52, says women should embrace the idea of aging like a ‘fine wine’… after posing in a VERY plunging pink swimsuit

Bethenny Frankel says women should embrace the idea of aging like a ‘fine wine.’

The 52-year-old ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ regular, who has daughter Bryn, 13, with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, 52, says she hates seeing females fighting getting older and desperately trying to resist the process.

She told The Heathy magazine: ‘I have a daughter and I want to be young for her. It’s been great to just accept (ageing.)

‘I see people, women, so desperately clinging on to youth and doing everything they can, and every gimmick and lying about their age and every filter,’ said the star who admitted last week she got free tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert.

‘It seems there’s a desperation to ageing and not allowing it to happen like in fine wine.’

Adding how she is happy with being seen as a ‘dorky aunt’ as she gets older, Bethenny went on: ‘I like being older because you have to be comfortable in your own skin and you get to be that dorky aunt.

‘That’s who I am to my daughter’s friends,’ noted the Skinnygirl founder.

‘That’s who I am on social media. I’ve embraced it, I get it.’

The mum-of-one, who is engaged to film producer Paul Bernon, added she has a list of key steps to try and stay looking her best.

She said: ‘I like prioritizing sleep and travel and food.

‘I like curating my life the way that I want it to be and only doing work that I want to do that’s very liberating.

‘I’m peaceful. I’m level, I’m happy. The highs and lows are not what they used to be, which is positive.’

‘Consistency, hydration, spray tone, layering spray tone with serums.

‘I have a sheet mask on right now because I flew yesterday, and a neck pillow that has lavender in it.

‘Taking hot baths with Epsom salts. It’s old-school just consistency. And hell, I prioritize health over what I look like.’

In 2022 she spoke candidly about all the plastic surgery procedures she has had done in a video posted to her social media.

The star revealed she has gotten filler once, had a breast lift 15 years ago, and previously got Botox in her jaw that drastically changed her appearance.

The reality star said she wants to be honest in today’s social media climate that often lacks transparency ethics surrounding the topic of plastic surgery.

Speaking to fans, Frankel said, ‘I owe it to you to be totally transparent with you.

‘In today’s world of filters and Facetune — and people being outright dishonest about how they look — it’s so important to me that I remain transparent about my physical appearance, especially now that I’m in this beauty space,’ the Skinnygirls Cocktails founder said.

‘I don’t have to tell you every aspect of my sex life, bank account, or any of that, but I feel a responsibility based on the fact that we’ve been talking about skin and beauty,’ she said. 

In 2006, Frankel attended a movie premiere. Later, she got Botox to relax the muscles in her jaw and almost three decades later, she still looked stunning after her first procedure

‘And it would just be fraudulent for me to just go do something and then act like this was natural,’ the star added.

In the clip, she revealed that recently she’s been on a ‘plastic surgery consultation tour.’

For her future plastic surgery plans, the entrepreneur explained that she wants to get work done sooner rather than later in order to maintain her appearance and still look like herself.

‘I’m thinking very seriously about plastic surgery and I want to share with you all the reasons why,’ said the mogul.

‘I like the way I look. I’m OK. I don’t even think I really need it. The only reason I would contemplate this is because I will eventually do this, I believe.’ 

She added: ‘I want to look like myself. I just want a little help along the way.’

The Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast host acknowledged the controversy surrounding plastic surgery procedures.

She said an A-list celebrity friend of hers told her: ‘You’re late. Everyone your age has done something and everyone is lying about it.’ 

She said she realizes that some of her followers may disagree with her opinion.

Earlier in September, the podcast host posted a picture of herself before and after using a filter on Instagram. The star is known for posting without filters and makeup.

‘Many of you will judge me, and that’s OK, as long as I’m being honest with you. You can disagree with my decision,’ she added.

However, the star — who frequently posts unfiltered and makeup-less videos discussing skincare and beauty — asserted that because she now works in a beauty space, she wants to be honest with her fans.

‘But you will not judge me for lying because I won’t lie to you because we’ve discussed so many things with beauty and age, and that would be a full fraudulent scam.’

Since she left Real Housewives Of New York in 2019, the reality personality has been posting honest skincare and beauty reviews on social media.

Recently, the star has been in the headlines since the announcement of her ReWives podcast where she recaps and discusses Housewives episodes.

‘I’m going back to housewives…..on my terms…and I’m going to MENTION IT ALL!,’ she wrote on Instagram earlier this month.

Last Wednesday, talk show host Andy Cohen, 54, talked to Page Six about his reaction to Frankel’s podcast.

‘I was surprised at that because she’s been trashing the show for the last three years,’ he said in a video. ‘I see her quotes, especially when they are negative about the show. So that’s why I was surprised.’
