Bethenny Frankel is reeling over a fashion crime she comitted years ago, and Kylie Jenner helped jog her memory.
Wedding etiquette usually dictates that only the bride wears white on her wedding day unless she explicitly requests something different. While the rule is generally understood, accidents, mistakes, and passive-aggressive moments still happen, even in the world of celebrities. In recent weeks, chatter about the dress Kylie Jenner wore to the Bezos-Sanchez wedding has sparked discussion about wedding etiquette and proper attire. The online debate jogged Bethenny Frankel’s memory, and now she’s reliving the embarrassment of having worn white to a friend’s wedding 30 years earlier.
Bethenny Frankel hilariously remembers wearing white to her friend’s wedding
Bethenny Frankel left reality TV years ago, but she didn’t leave the public eye. She uses her Instagram account as a very public journal, sharing her favorite foods, embarrassing memories, and most significant achievements with the world. Last month, she used the platform to make a confession. She confessed to wearing white to her best friend’s wedding decades ago, insisting she had no prior knowledge of the very well-known dress code rules.

Frankel called the incident an “unspeakable fashion crime.” She insisted that at 25, she had no idea she wasn’t allowed to wear white. Now, as a 54-year-old woman, she felt embarrassed. Frankel cringed as she considered what everyone at the wedding thought of her. She even joked that her dress was actually whiter than the bride’s dress. Frankel later returned to Instagram to offer proof and an update. She revealed her friend is 100% okay with what happened and that they’ve remained best friends, regardless.
The infamous Kylie Jenner debate jogged her memory
Bethenny Frankel’s big confession came just as the entire internet was debating the merits of Kyle Jenner’s outfit for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding. The debate is actually what reminded Frankel of her fashion crime.
So, what was the debate all about? Kylie Jenner made headlines at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding in Venice after she was spotted in a light-colored corset gown. Critics argued that the dress, designed by Dilara Fındıkoğlu, blended with bridal wear. They accused her of attempting to upstage the bride. While critics took issue with the dress’s plunging neckline, spaghetti straps, black bow accents, and lace-up details, the biggest problem was the color. It fell somewhere between silver and white when photographed.
Critics and supporters took to the internet to discuss whether the gown was white, off-white, or “icy blue.” Regardless of what color you call it, it’s likely too close to white to be worn to a wedding, though. Hopefully, for Jenner, Sanchez is just as gracious as Frankel’s friend.
