Bethenny Frankel can turn a fashion mishap around in record time.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 55, recently attended the star-studded Fashion Trust U.S. Awards on Tuesday, April 7, and nailed the red carpet in a colorful Valentino dress. But, as she's now revealed on social media, the moments leading up to the event were anything but glamorous.
On TikTok and Instagram, Frankel revealed that she had a wardrobe malfunction that left her "tits out" after the halter straps "busted."

In one of the candid clips, Frankel panics and says, "Who cuts Valentino dresses? I have a plan. I need a knife." She manages to solve the dilemma and turn the situation around by creating a cape from the loose fabric.
Frankel self-praised her technique, saying in another clip, "You know I don't have a stylist. I dress myself, I buy my own clothes. I'm a big girl. But I always have a wardrobe malfunction and tonight I had two straps busted. It is a fashion event tonight, I think they're giving awards out and I'd like to receive one because I think I'm a designer."

Fans also noticed how great the fix looked, one writing, "You designed it better. Yes. I said it and I mean it!" and another adding, "Wait it looks amazing."
The Skinnygirl founder isn't new to things going awry. In March, she posted a video in which she claimed that a skincare device made out of glass and silicone broke and cut her face while she was using it. As she was seen using the cupping-style tools, Frankel appeared to bleed after slicing her face with the device.
"I thought I saw red in there, and I thought it was my skin … they're glass. And I was slicing," she said. "This is super scary … I was going to go down my neck and I could have, like, sliced my jugular. I'm freaking out."
