Bethenny Frankel’s Emsculpt Neo Secret: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show

All eyes were on Bethenny Frankel as she strode down the runway at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s annual Miami Swim Week presentation on Saturday. The 54-year-old walked in three looks: a cheetah-print one-piece swimsuit, a pink and black polka dot bikini with a black sheer sarong and a western-inspired denim two-piece teamed with a cowboy hat.

Her hair, which is typically dyed black, was lightened with soft shades of brown and honey-colored blond highlights. Extensions were put in to add texture to her sleek and shiny fashion, and even her shimmery gold makeup popped against the busy bathing suits. Frankel’s skin was bronzed, and her body was undeniably toned. Her secret: the Emsculpt Neo.

Emsculpt Neo is an FDA-approved, clinically tested noninvasive body sculpting device often used by the likes of influencer Alix Earle and actress Molly Sims. The large technology combines radiofrequency (RF) and high intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to simultaneously build muscle and reduce fat.

“The RF gently warms the fat and muscles, making the treatment more effective. Then, HIFEM triggers deep muscle contractions that go beyond what a regular workout can do,” the website description reads, noting sessions are as quick as 30 minutes.

Other benefits of this sculpting technology include improved strength, endurance, posture and core stability, as well as a decrease in muscle spasms and a boost in blood flow. According to Emsculpt Neo, some clients see results after only four sessions, with a 25 percent increase in muscle and a 30 percent decrease in body fat.

On TikTok, Frankel thanked the L’Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion for giving her skin its added shine during the show, specifically shade 904 Deep Glow.

Frankel’s appearance on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit catwalk spawned an internet frenzy with an increase in interest for the former “Real Housewives of New York” star’s sculpting secret and her famed supermodel diet. A simple search for Frankel in TikTok generates a slew of search terms, including “Bethenny Frankel runway” and “Bethenny Frankel snacks.”

For months, the internet personality has contributed to her new supermodel recipe series, sharing easy recipes for healthy and high protein breakfasts, lunches and mid-day bites. But it wasn’t until she made her runway debut when people online collectively agreed to start paying attention to her food posts, several of which admitted they’ve only now been swayed to give her snacks a taste after seeing her walk.
