Closet Crashing: Kelly Bensimon

editor

Like her or hate her, you have to admit Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the newest member of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York City," has fantastic style. Who else would dress for a showdown with her arch enemy in a green mini-dress and pink boots? This week Kelly let us dive into her closet and gave us a guided tour of her favorite pieces.

First of all, Kelly's closet isn't exactly a closet. It's more like a series of rooms. The clothes are organized by color and texture. There's a rack for all black and a rack for pastels. Soft fluffy sweaters occupy one shelf; wooly cardigans another. Shoes are kept in boxes with Polaroid photos of their contents! Honestly, it's every girl's dream.
 
Kelly's had a longtime career in fashion,so  we imagined she would have some pretty special pieces, but we were blown away by the sheer variety of her collection and her belief in sky-high, orange alligator stilettos. Kelly's got her own line of yoga clothes too, check it out.














Thanks for watching the Thread.  We'll be back soon from our Planet Hollywood studio in Times Square with a brand new episode.

      I cant stand her either and the green dress with pink rainboots was the STUPIDEST outfit I have ever seen. And she needs sunscreen.. or a skin graft.

      I wish you wouldn't have featured her, it will only feed her ego. She thinks that she is so important and above everyone else. I only know her from "Real Housewives" and had never heard of her before that, so I don't know why she thinks she is so special. She provides nothing to the show and is really annoying, with the hair twirling and fake laugh. And she is not fashionable, I would have featured Bethenny or Jill over her.

      PORKCHOP, I agree. I think that green dress with pink rainboots MIGHT be cute on a two year old.... Her face is always patchy, it may be from rosacea or sunburn or something. Go Team Bethany! hahaha...

      I don't care for her persnonality at all. It was distracting from the clothes.

      I think she's obnoxious. I love that Bethanny is self-made, and we're watching her business grow.

      And Amen on the sunscreen!!! "Legs are the new boobs"???? Sure. But skin cancer is not the new black. Lord, woman. Stop buying obnoxious bags named after horses and get some skincare.
