Bethenny Frankel, 55, nearly spills out of her bikini as she enjoys the beach after Sports Illustrated debut

Bethenny Frankel sizzled while modeling a lavender bikini in new Instagram photos shared on Friday.

The 55-year-old former Real Housewives of New York City star put on a perky display as she played up her assets while posing beachside.

Frankel, who just made her Sports Illustrated magazine debut, nearly spilled out of her low-cut top, which accentuated her surgically enhanced chest.

Her swimsuit had matching low-rise, ribbed bottoms and tiny bow accents.

The star displayed her washboard abs as she teamed her swimsuit with a wide-brimmed sun hat.

She captioned the carousel post, 'It’s getting hot in here… #yourewelcome #beach.'

Although Frankel's official Sports Illustrated print debut came with the outlet's recent swimsuit edition, she has worked with the company in the past.

Last summer she dropped jaws while strutting in its runway show during Miami Swim Week.

Shortly after, the media personality hit back at critics who body shamed her for storming the catwalk in a thong bikini.

When her appearance ignited backlash online, she took to Instagram to reveal how she felt about baring her body in the star-studded show.

She said: 'It’s time for women to start focusing on and realizing that what’s on the inside will lead to being happier with what’s on the outside.

'As the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair, I can tell you with certainty, every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior.'

And she noted, 'The images you and your daughters see of women – Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé – there is a lot of work that goes into that, a lot of glam, a lot of make-up, a lot of contouring.'

While exclusively speaking with the Daily Mail, the reality star opened up about how she stays fit.

'I don't work out,' she declared. 'I just stay active in ways that feel natural: walking, moving, living. I don't force it. I walk. That's my main form of movement.'

Another way she maintains her figure is by having a 'healthy relationship with food and exercise.'

Frankel explained, 'I self-regulate. Sometimes I'm super active and eat clean, and sometimes I rest and indulge.

'I go through phases, like everyone, but I always come back to center. It's about balance, not extremes.'

When it comes to makeup, the Skinny Girl Margarita founder said she wears minimal products.

'I don't wear makeup unless I absolutely have to – and if I do, I make sure to take it off completely, right away. Let your skin breathe. And don't overdo it with products,' the mom-of-one noted.
