Bethenny Frankel has put on a brave face as she promoted her Forever Young Wine just days after the tragic death of her interior designer.
On Wednesday, The Real Housewives Of New York alum posted a photo of herself rocking a monochromatic look with a yellow overcoat over a matching minidress that hugged her petite curves.
The lovely number, which has four buttons along the chest region, hugged her figure enough to showcase her cleavage along with her legs.
As the sun shined down on the reality star and entrepreneur, she carried a large bag, that was a prefect match for her ensemble, all while having her dark tresses styled long with an added doses of volume, curls and soft waves.
The bubbly new promotional push comes amid the tragic news that Frankel’s interior designer was found dead in her luxury New York City apartment about a week after she was last seen alive.
