  • On June 2, the 54-year-old posted a TikTok and Instagram reel dancing in a zebra-print thong one-piece and Sports Illustrated crop top to JT’s “Ran Out,” captioning it “If the internet says I’m a supermodel? Who am I to argue?” with the hashtag #supermodel.
  • Frankel made her runway debut at Sports Illustrated’s Miami Swim Week on May 31, strutting three looks—including a pink-and-black polka-dot thong bikini—that prompted both praise and criticism over her age and parental role.

  • Backstage support came from fellow models Remi Bader, Alix Earle, Ilona Maher, Jordan Chiles and Stassi Schroeder, and Lauren Sánchez praised Frankel’s energy online.
  • Frankel reinforced her body-positive message by reposting a clip set to George Michael’s “Freedom,” declaring that everyone “deserves to feel alive, happy, and free.”
