Matching mother-and-daughter outfits happens a lot in Hollywood. Kim and Kris. Beyoncé and Blue. But Bethenny Frankel, 43, has gone one step further. The star showed off some eyebrow-raising sleepwear on Instagram Sunday, wearing her 4-year-old daughter Bryn’s Hello Kitty pajamas.

“This is my daughter’s nightgown and PJ shorts. Think we’re ready to start sharing clothes yet?” she captioned the shot, which highlights her slim physique in an itty-bitty T-shirt, boy shorts and fuzzy slippers.
Many commenters definitely did not seem to advocate Frankel’s wardrobe-sharing proposition, and slammed the Skinny Girl mogul and former talk show host for suggesting she’d swap clothes with a preschooler.
“Wow, way to go, you just destroyed the last 50 years of women who are struggling with body issues, get help!” declared one poster.
“This is sickening. You’re an attention seeker and you’re doing it at your daughters expense,” wrote another.
Yet the former Real Housewives reality star, who recently settled a custody dispute with estranged husband Jason Hoppy is taking the criticism in stride, posting a response to the rage on Twitter.

“BREAKING NEWS! World Scandal: Former reality star, failed talk show host & cocktail maven jokes by wearing her kids’ pjs! #itcantbetrue,” she wrote Monday morning.
“When ur 4 year old peanut says “mommy please put my dress on” & giggles uncontrollably, u do what ur told,” Frankel added in response to a fan who Tweeted a message of support.
Will Frozen princess ensembles are next? Time will tell. What do you think of Frankel’s controversial photo? Does it send a bad message or is it completely harmless?
