Bethenny Frankel Admits Breaking Golden Wedding Attire Rule at BFF’s Nuptials

Bethenny Frankel’s 30-Year-Old Wedding Fashion Faux Pas Resurfaces Amid Kylie Jenner Drama

Bethenny Frankel recently confessed to breaking a major wedding etiquette rule decades ago, inspired by the buzz around Kylie Jenner’s controversial attire at Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos’ wedding. The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 54, shared that she only just realized she wore a white dress to her best friend’s wedding 30 years ago.

Frankel explained that her luggage was lost before the 1990s Marbella wedding, forcing her to scramble for a last-minute outfit. She stumbled upon a discounted Tom Ford-designed Gucci gown at a small store. “It was Casper the Friendly Ghost white,” she joked on Instagram, admitting she hadn’t known the “no white” rule back then. The bride, Sarah Beriro Lacharlotte, humorously defended her in the comments, saying she was just relieved Frankel “didn’t show up naked.”

The reality star’s epiphany came after Jenner faced criticism for wearing a silvery-blue dress that appeared white in photos. “I texted Sarah, ‘I’m sorry!’” Frankel said. The bride, currently on safari, replied warmly: “I didn’t care what you wore—I was happy you were there.”

Fans reacted mixedly to Frankel’s throwback photo. Some called it a “fashion crime,” while others praised the Gucci gown’s timeless style. One fan noted, “Your friend clearly didn’t mind—everyone looks happy!” Others argued the “no white” rule wasn’t as strict in the ’90s, criticizing modern “entitled” attitudes.

Despite the embarrassment, Frankel kept the dress, calling it “spectacular.” She quipped, “I’m not ready to show the photo… Mind your business!”—before sharing it anyway, captioning it: “She’ll realize in 30 years this was a fashion crime.”

The incident highlights how wedding traditions evolve, but Frankel’s story ends on a heartwarming note: true friendship overshadows any wardrobe mishap.

Key Takeaways:

• Context Matters: Lost luggage led to the white dress; no malice intended.
• Bride’s Grace: Sarah’s humor and forgiveness underscore their lasting friendship.
• Fan Debate: Opinions split on etiquette vs. intent, reflecting generational shifts.

Frankel’s tale serves as a reminder: even reality TV’s sharpest tongues have cringe-worthy moments—and friends who love them anyway.
