Bethenny Frankel is heating up Miami Swim Week! The 54-year-old former Real Housewives of New York City star shared an Instagram video of herself in a barely there bikini on Thursday, May 29, as she participated in Miami Swim Week.

Her clip began with Nelly's 2002 banger "Hot in Herre" as she covered herself with the door of a portable closet situated next to a dressing rack of clothes. Just seconds into the catchy song, Frankel threw the flaps back, revealing a mostly gold, multicolor, strappy push-up bikini with elements of black and pink.

She grabbed a black cowgirl hat with silver embellishments and danced toward the camera, spinning around occasionally while lip-syncing and modeling the design. "Sports Illustrated is heating up Miami," the reality television alum captioned her video.

According to a second post, her tan heels seen in the clip were by designer Veronica Beard, and appeared to be the Tia Croc-Embossed Sandal in the shade Parchment. The shoe retails for $350.

"It takes a lot of discipline to look like this at any age. 😍👏," one commenter wrote. Katie Austin, who has also appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and is the daughter of pro fitness coach Denise Austin, added, "You look unrealllll 😍."

Things seem to be going well in Florida for Frankel after she revealed in April that she was making the Sunshine State her primary residence.

"I've been waiting until I got down here to tell you, but I am moving to Florida for personal and professional reasons," she explained in an April 17 TikTok. "Something has arisen that made this the best and healthiest decision for myself and my daughter."

The Skinnygirl founder is mom to Bryn, 14, whom she shares with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

She clarified that she would be keeping her homes in New York City and the Hamptons "because we love New York." However, Florida will now serve as their "primary and permanent" home base.
