For Frankel, it's never just about designer labels or price tags. "I don't care about the season or designer or price," she told Page Six Style. "I care about how something makes me feel … How I feel comes first."

Known for being decisive, she picked only the second dress she tried on. "Fashion shouldn't be so complicated," Frankel explained. "I think sometimes people force what they think they should wear — and what people want versus how they feel — and it's not authentic."
She first strutted the L'Oréal runway last year and is now solidifying her presence as a fearless fashion force.

Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate her bold energy. One wrote, "Y'all! She is a self made millionaire and looks fantastic!! Stop with the hate and let her have fun! She's got balls and I love it!! [sic]"
