Kelly looked supremely chic in a beige ensemble which featured a thick cable-knit cardigan to match a short sweater underneath.

She stayed with her monochrome theme while wearing a pair of matching pants and wore camel colored suede booties with fringe cuffs.

The former Real Housewives of New York star let her dark blonde hair cascade past her shoulders and wore a wide-brimmed hat.

Ever the city girl, she carried a roll of toilet paper in one hand while flashing a peace sign with the other.

Kelly made sure to protect herself and others amid the COVID-19 pandemic by wearing a face mask.

She was recently spotted making out with a former flame, Nick Stefanov, despite their tumultuous history where she was arrested in 2009 for allegedly punching him in the face.

‘She was arrested on March 5 at 9:10 a.m. for punching her fiancé in the face, and [she] gave him a laceration under his left eye. She was arrested for assault — it’s a misdemeanor,’ the New York City Police Department told People at the time.

The New York Post reported that Bensimon may have also been attacked, as a source said she was sporting ‘a fat lip.

The former model initially pleaded not guilty to the charge of misdemeanor third-degree assault, but she later entered into a plea deal which only required her to perform two days of community service.

Even at the time, Bensimon and Stefanov were reported to be dating on and off, and the two have continued to come back to each other in the ensuing 11 years. 

Kelly became a household name after starring on three seasons of RHONY as a main character between 2009-11 before taking on a guest role for seasons six and seven. 

The former model shares her two daughters, Sea and Thaddeus, with photographer husband Giles Bensimon.
