Kelly Bensimon has a Marilyn Monroe moment when her blue skirt blows all the way UP during a very windy outing

She got her start as a model before turning to reality TV.

And Kelly Bensimon was full of runway poise as she weathered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction while out and about in Tribeca area of New York City on Monday.

The Real Housewives Of New York alum’s ruffled metallic blue skirt blew up above her thighs during the windy early spring outing, showing off both of Kelly’s bare legs as she walked along on the cobblestones.

Whoops: Kelly Bensimon weathered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction on Monday, when she was seen in the Tribeca area of Manhattan in New York City

The mother of two paired her skirt with a dark top, worn underneath a matching knit cardigan sweater. On her feet, she wore dark leather suede boots.

Kelly was clearly laughing and smiling underneath her light gray face mask at the somewhat embarrassing turn of events with her outfit.

Bensimon carried a to-go cup of coffee, after being seen at Hugh Jackman’s Laughing Man Café in the area.

She slung an electric blue felt Gucci purse with gold chain handle over her shoulder and layered several chains around her neck including a crucifix pendant.

Kelly’s highlighted hair was down, and it blew wildly in the wind just like her skirt. 

The Bravo alum also made sure to pose on her Instagram for her 314k followers in a park while wearing the outfit, during a decidedly less windy moment.

The former reality star has been promoting her real estate showings on her social media, along with other projects. 

Earlier this month, Bensimon was spotted having lunch with her 42-year-old beau Nick Stefanov.

The on-again-off-again pair share a tumultuous and long history, which includes Bensimon’s 2009 assault arrest for allegedly punching Stefanov in the face. 

The sightings come as the fashionista-turned-real estate agent celebrated the start of a new month on her Instagram account after ‘a rough few months.’    

‘HAPPY APRIL, guys. I know it’s been a rough few months, but I’m definitely feeling that spring will come and wash away the pain of the winter months; and show us again how beautiful our world is and how much possibility we all have,’ she wrote. 

‘Positivity doesn’t come from thinking about something- it comes from doing something about it,’ she added.
