Dorinda Medley dazzles in flesh-flashing mirrored mini-dress as she poses up at Immersive Van Gogh exhibit opening in NYC


She may have been fired from The Real Housewives Of New York City.

But Dorinda Medley is still a showstopping presence around the city that never sleeps as she proved this Tuesday.

The 56-year-old platinum blonde cut a fashionable figure when she swung by the opening of an Immersive Van Gogh exhibit at Pier 36.

She slid her enviably trim frame into a dazzlingly mirrored sleeveless mini-dress that flashed a bit of flesh and showed off her legs.

Balancing on a pair of sky-high stilettos she wore her hair in a stylish coif and accentuated her features with makeup.

Dorinda treated the shutterbugs to her megawatt smile as she posed up a storm on the red carpet at the star-studded event.

The opening also played host to 1970s ballet heartthrob Mikhail Baryshnikov who arrived with his wife Lisa Rinehart and daughter Sofia-Luisa Baryshnikova.

Whilst at the event Mikhail could be spotted mingling with stage legend Ben Vereen who starred in the original Broadway casts of Pippin and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Boogie Nights actor Luis Guzman seemed in bright spirits as he posed up on the red carpet alongside his son Cemi Briggs-Guzman. 

During her last season on The Real Housewives Of New York City last year Dorinda was seen feuding bitterly with Tinsley Mortimer.

One outbreak of tension between Dorinda and Tinsley came when the former made a joke about the latter’s difficulties conceiving.

Dorinda made a joke that Tinsley could use a turkey baster to become pregnant – a quip that Tinsley denounced as ‘vile.’

On the latest series finale episode Dorinda raged that Tinsley had ‘ruined this show’ and accused her of breach of contract.

A source alleged to The Sun last autumn that it was this particular outburst that caused Dorinda to lose her job.

‘Bravo hates nothing more than when cast members break the fourth wall. The second Dorinda did that, she basically put in her resignation!’ said the insider.

‘Producers hate when they bring the show into the plot. Sure, Dorinda isn’t the nicest drunk, but she tells it like it is.’  

Tinsley herself left the show to move to Chicago and marry her fiance Scott Kluth but the engagement has since been broken.

Former New York Housewife Bethenny Frankel, who has become a successful businesswoman with her Skinnygirl brand, also shed some light on Dorinda’s firing.

‘I really did help her through that entire journey. I was the first phone call she made after she was let go, and I kind of walked her through what I thought was the best way for her to handle herself as a woman, as an employee,’ she said last fall.

Bethenny told Us Weekly: ‘“99 percent of the people that leave the Housewives have been fired. I would be in the 1 percent. 99 percent have been fired and kind of lie about it. And it was just good that she just walked through it and owned it.’
