The event was celebrating the philanthropic women of Hollywood.

The New York Times bestselling author has donated her time and money to causes like the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Children's Health Fund and the Wish Upon A Hero Foundation. 

Her bare legs peeked out from under her short all-white dress with a cape-like sleeve structure hanging off her shoulders.

Bethenny Frankel arrived at Variety's Power of Women event in New York City, wearing a gorgeous white cape mini dress, showing off her toned gams.

Cape dresses have been around for several years now, ranging from short to long. But the appeal is the same -- fluid fabrics, asymmetrical hem interest and a flowing silhouette. No wonder we continue to swoon after them year after year.

Bethenny's wearing Sara Battaglia's version, a viscose crepe dress, now $880, at Luisaviaroma. If you're in love like we are, click right to snap it up now.
