At this point, Bethenny Frankel and wardrobe malfunctions are practically in a long-term relationship. The 55-year-old Real Housewives alum just dealt with a busted Valentino gown at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards in Los Angeles last week, and before that, her dress popped open live at a Nasdaq event in January 2025. So when Frankel showed up to the Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach on Friday, April 10, it was only a matter of time before something went sideways — and this time, a horse was involved.
The Skinnygirl founder posted a video to Instagram over the weekend documenting the whole ordeal, captioning it, "POV: you got horse oil all over the front of your dress and had to turn it around #wardrobemalfunction #yourewelcome." In the clip, Frankel can be seen grabbing a knife, cutting into her garment, and flipping the entire dress around to salvage the look. “This is my life everyday,” she says.
It didn't take long for the internet to react.
"Next level problem solving. Baller," one wrote. "Two things I wanna be, rich and resourceful," said another. Others took a more practical approach, with a commenter suggesting she needs to keep "2 backup outfits" on hand at all times.
One particularly curious fan chimed in, "Is that your man that is helping you?" — a question that may have landed closer to the truth than they realized. According to Page Six, Frankel attended the event with Miami-based financial adviser Shane L. Campbell, marking their first public outing as a couple.
The equestrian spectacle itself was no small affair.
According to a press release, the Global Champions Arabians Tour returned to Miami Beach for a sold-out second year from April 10–11.
Over 100 horses and handlers from around the globe competed for a share of the Americas circuit's $2.7 million prize fund, while the VIP guest list included DJ Khaled, Larsa Pippen, Daymond John, Kiki Barth, Terrence J, and Mayor of Miami Beach Steven Meiner.
Opening night featured surprise performances from 50 Cent and Sean Paul, with Jason Derulo closing out Saturday's ceremony alongside aerial acts and immersive lighting. Major Food Group curated the VIP hospitality experience, serving dishes from Carbone, ZZ's, and Sadelle's.
The Miami Beach stop marked the second stage of the 2026 GCAT Americas circuit, with Las Vegas next on the calendar in October before the season finale at the World Arabian Horse Championship Supreme at the Grand Palais in Paris this November.
