Bethenny Frankel Supermodel Routine: Supplements, Fitness, and More

When Bethenny was invited to walk in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show, she had no idea what to expect. "I didn’t know much going into it,” she said afterward. "The resounding theme is women supporting women, which is something so many women cosplay and perform. I have never seen the level of female support that I experienced here.” For her, the real takeaway wasn’t about looking hot in a swimsuit or nailing the runway walk (though she did that, too). It was about showing up, being herself, and letting that be enough.

This moment was the peak of what she’s been calling her "supermodel era"—a season of consistent routines, weirdo snacks, skincare experiments, and treatments she never thought she’d try. But at the core, it wasn’t about gimmicks. It was about sticking to what’s always worked for her: balance and prioritizing her well-being without going to extremes.

And when Bethenny finally hit the runway at 54—which is 31 years older than the youngest model in the show—the internet responded with overwhelming support. Her confidence, her body, her energy…everything about the moment sparked conversation. Fans were enamored with how youthful she looked. Others were celebrating what it meant for middle-aged women who rarely see themselves in that kind of spotlight.

"Single handedly redefining 'middle aged' and I’m so here for it," one person wrote. "Okay, so this is what 50s can look like?" another asked.

The consensus was clear: it was a celebration of women being seen and celebrated at any age.

“I was aware of my age. I was aware that I’m not a model. There are professional models,” Bethenny says. “But I wasn’t nervous. I just didn’t want to get stuck in the middle. You either commit or you don’t.”

And while it may have looked effortless, there was some prep involved—just not in the way you might think. "I don’t crash diet. I don’t go to a gym," Bethenny says. "I walk on the beach. Everything I do has balance. I self-regulate. I have a good relationship with food and exercise.” But that mindset didn’t come out of nowhere. She wrote Naturally Thin to challenge diet culture and help reframe the conversation around food. It wasn’t about rules or restrictions, it was about learning to quiet the noise and trust your voice instead.

So Bethenny’s supermodel era wasn’t about chasing perfection. It was (and always has been) about self-awareness, confidence, and making choices that actually feel good—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Let this be a reminder that you don’t need permission to wear the thing, do the thing, or be the thing. You just have to decide it’s yours to do.

While all of that is true, we get it: you want to know what the runway routine was all about. The products she reached for, the habits that helped, and the little things that added up. From what she ate to how she moved to the things that made her feel good in her skin, here’s everything Bethenny used, wore, ate, and loved along the way.

Nutrition

It's all about balance and nourishing your body with protein-rich foods and listening to your cravings. A little Dubai chocolate here and there in-between cottage cheese-filled supermodel snacks and nutrient-dense supplements helps fuel B during her supermodel era.

1. Stanley The Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler, $45

Hydration is non-negotiable when you’re walking 10,000 steps a day. Bethenny’s never without a water bottle like this one.

2. Bamboo The Beginner Cleanse, $65

Bethenny leaned on this when she wanted to feel light and clear without going full juice-cleanse chaos. It’s gentle, tasty, and surprisingly filling.

3. Cann Roadie, $45

These single-serve packets blend THC and CBD for a microdose that takes the edge off without knocking you out. Pour one into seltzer when you want to feel relaxed and social without committing to alcohol—or the hangover that usually follows. (Use code BETHENNY20 for 20% off.)

Turkey and Greek Yogurt Lettuce Wrap Recipe

One of her go-to "supermodel snacks." Protein, crunch, flavor, and a solid schmear, because we’re not animals.

High-Protein Spicy Cottage Cheese Omelette Recipe

A little weird, very satisfying. Made with egg whites, cottage cheese, and a hit of Truff, this protein-rich breakfast is all about flavor and fuel without any heavy lifting.

Tomato and Turkey Supermodel Sandwich Recipe

No bread needed. Just a juicy tomato, shaved turkey, cottage cheese, Dijon (must be Grey Poupon), and everything seasoning. Trust mother.

Supplements

The right supplements helped support Bethenny’s energy, digestion, and focus during runway prep (and beyond). They didn’t replace real food or rest, but they made a noticeable difference in how she felt day to day. Think of these as small helpers that work behind the scenes.

1. Arrae Bloat, $50

A staple for when you want to feel good in your clothes—or your favorite swimsuit.

2. Dose For Your Liver, $99

Balance doesn’t mean never indulging. These shots are part of the reset after the wine, the travel, or the late-night chips. They support better digestive function, maintain energy levels, and so much more.

3. Grüns Superfoods Greens Gummies, $45

These greens gummies give you a convenient way to get daily nutrients without mixing powders or blending smoothies. They support digestion and energy with a blend of fruits, veggies, and adaptogens—and Bethenny never travels without them.

Fitness

Bethenny didn’t follow a strict fitness routine. She walked. A lot. Sometimes fast, sometimes aimless, always consistent. These are the pieces that made those daily walks easier to commit to, and comfortable enough to turn into a habit.

1. Slip-On Walking Shoes, $57

Daily walks were non-negotiable for Bethenny. These were easy to throw on, didn’t require a whole outfit rethink, and kept her going for miles without killing her feet.

2. Mid Waisted Athletic Shorts, $25

Not too short, not too long, and designed to stay in place while you move. The lightweight fabric dries quickly, so you can go from a morning walk to a dip in the ocean without needing a full outfit change

3. Offline by Aerie Real Me Hold Up! Sports Bra, $38

Bethenny didn’t need intense workouts to feel strong. This bra matched that vibe—secure enough to support, soft enough to forget.

4. Offline by Aerie Real Me Xtra High Waisted Legging, $35

These everyday leggings are soft, supportive, and made to move with you. The high waistband stays in place during walks or workouts, and the smooth fabric makes them comfortable enough to wear long after you're done being active.

5. Aritzia Life Divinity 5" Romper, $78

A one-piece wonder that required zero thought. Wear it to walk, wear it to travel, and wear it to feel like you have it together even when things are chaotic.

6. Astoria Luxe Blossom Legging and Sports Bra, $80 and $58

Sometimes matching your set is the motivation. This one will make you feel put together even if you haven’t brushed your hair.

7. Cross Back Sports Bra, $30

Supportive without feeling stiff, this sports bra works for everything from low-impact walks to faster-paced workouts. The cross-back design adds comfort and stays put, so you’re not adjusting straps mid-move.

8. Square Neck Tennis Dress, $38

Technically activewear, but you’d never know it. Looks pulled together with zero effort required.

Skincare and Tools

Taking care of her skin was part of the prep, not an afterthought. She focused on glow, hydration, and texture so she could wear less and feel like herself. From LED masks to the viral glotion, everything served a purpose.

1. BeautyStat Exclusive Vitamin C Power Duo, $87

Bethenny swears by layering vitamin C under sunscreen—and for good reason. Vitamin C helps protect against environmental damage and boosts the effectiveness of SPF, all while brightening skin. This one sinks in fast and doesn’t leave behind any stickiness.

2. Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads, $65

Exfoliating was a big part of Bethenny’s skin prep, especially leading up to the show. These pads are an easy way to work it in without rinsing or extra steps.

3. Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint SPF 50 Sunscreen Skin Tint, $44

This multitasking formula streamlines your morning routine by combining broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection with a breathable and natural-looking tint. It blends easily, wears comfortably all day, and helps even out skin tone without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

4. L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion, $14

Let’s start some commotion for the glotion. Bethenny called this her secret to a supermodel glow. It gives skin a healthy, radiant finish that everyone will be asking about.

5. Omnilux Contour Face LED Mask, $395

Red and infrared light help boost collagen, calm inflammation, and even out skin tone. The mask is soft, flexible, and fits easily while you go about your day. It’s one of the simplest ways to get real skincare benefits without adding time-consuming steps.

6. Naked Sundays Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+, $25

Think of it as sunscreen with benefits. The finish is smooth and glowy, but never greasy, and it layers well with everything else in your routine.

7. Extra Large Self Tanning Brush, $10

Designed to blend self-tanner evenly across larger areas like arms, legs, and chest, this brush helps minimize streaks and patchiness. The dense, soft bristles make it easier to control product and avoid buildup on hands or elbows, giving you a more consistent finish with less mess.

8. Higherdose Infrared Sauna Blanket, $788

Bethenny loves a sauna, and this is a great way to do it at home. It feels a little ridiculous at first—until you’re 20 minutes in, sweating like you just ran five miles, and suddenly kind of addicted.

Lifestyle

Being in your "supermodel era” isn’t just about what you wear or eat—it’s how you move through your day. Whether B was on a walk, in glam, or traveling between fittings, these were the things that made her feel more comfortable, more organized, or just more like herself.
