My Unorthodox Life star Julia Haart beamed as she was pictured Tuesday in New York City after landing a massive divorce win in a bitter court battle with her ex-husband Silvio Scaglia.

Haart, 53, was seen speaking with reporters after a New York judge awarded her control of the business she ran with Scaglia, 66, during the marriage, the $65 million Tribeca apartment they lived in, and nearly $10 million in cash, according to Page Six.

The Moscow-born designer and TV personality was clad in an all-black ensemble of a black fur coat with platform zip-up leather boots. She donned a red top with a black shorts and lace pantyhose.

Haart wore a light layer of makeup as she had her dark locks parted and accessorized with hoop earrings and toted a black leather purse on the winter day. 

Haart's daughter Batsheva posted a TikTok of her mother celebrating the win, dancing to All I Do Is Win by DJ Khaled and drinking champagne. 

Haart and Scaglia had been duking it out through the courts across multiple lawsuits for nearly three years.

During their marriage, Haart worked as the creative director of luxury lingerie brand La Perla and co-owner of Elite World Group (EWG), which represents the largest number of modeling agencies in the world. 

However, when Haart told Scaglia she was divorcing him in 2022, he fired her from EWG.

Haart said Scaglia had given her half of Freedom Holding - which owns EWG and their luxury apartment -  in return for running the firm.

Scaglia claimed Haart only owned a fraction of the company and accused her of misappropriating millions of dollars from EWG, for which he failed to offer proof in court.

Judge Jeffrey Pearlman granted Haart a default judgment in the divorce last week after Scaglia stopped engaging in the proceedings.

Haart received a 50 percent interest in Freedom Holding and power of attorney over Scaglia's 50 percent.

The judge ruled she now owns the 16-room Tribeca triplex penthouse they lived in during their marriage.

She was also given $7,400,000 in unpaid management fees for 2019 through 2021 and half the proceeds of a Kees Van Dongen painting owned by Freedom Holding that Scaglia sold for $2,972,632.

'Words cannot fully express the immense joy and gratitude I feel in my heart,' Haart told Page Six.

'Throughout this journey, I held steadfast to my belief in truth and justice, deeply trusting that if I stayed the course, the truth would ultimately prevail and the wrongs done to me would be made right.

'I am profoundly grateful to God for granting me the strength to persevere and to Judge Pearlman for holding Silvio accountable and ensuring that justice was served.' 

In June, Scaglia was found in contempt after he failed to appear at an appointed court date.

A judge ruled that Scaglia owed Haart $300,000 in legal fees which he ordered should be paid by January 2024. 

However, Scaglia appeared to have no intention of honoring the order and fled to Milan.

In 2023, Scaglia tried to evict Haart from the $70 million Tribeca penthouse and force the sale of the home to support his floundering company.

Haart is the star of the Netflix series My Unorthodox Life, which documents her life after leaving an incredibly strict Orthodox Jewish community.

She has since established herself as a key figure in the fashion industry and is the owner of the shapewear brand +Body.

'I have a very personal and emotional feeling about this because my entire life my body hasn't been my own,' Hart in September 2023 told DailyMail.com.

She added, 'I was just another human that was supposed to have babies and take care of people and be this quiet, obedient and silent wife... that was my job.'
