Jenna Lyons may have given the gift of lingerie to her Real Housewives of New York castmates — but she also apparently gave the gift to their significant others too, according to Rebecca Minkoff!
Minkoff spoke with PEOPLE at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards on Oct. 28 and dished on her recent debut with the Bravo show, saying she was “excited” to join the cast and be a recipient of Lyons’ famous lingerie gifting.
“I was just like, ‘I hope she has something that fits my massive-size chest,’ but she did great. I love it. It’s really sexy,” Minkoff said of the gifting episode, which aired earlier this month.
As for how the new pieces went down at home? Well, let’s just say it went very, very well.
“My husband is very appreciative to Jenna,” Minkoff gushed of what her husband of 15 years, Gavin Bellour, had to say.

Minkoff, who attended the stylish event with influencer Tinx, presented by Amazon Fashion in New York City, also told PEOPLE that she “bonded” with the whole cast.
“This is a true bonding experience, being friends and then all the time we spend together. I kinda love them all,” she said.

The fashion designer opened up at New York Fashion Week in September about balancing her work life with her home life, telling a story of a tough conversation with her daughter in 2018 that helped them both understand it all a little better — even at her daughter’s young age.
She shared at the MomCozy event that the family was on vacation and she got stuck working when she wasn’t supposed to be and her daughter told her she wasn’t being a “good mom,” which she admitted was hurtful, but she spun it into a lesson for them.
I just said, ‘I’m sorry I’m not being a great mom. I need five more days and I’ll show up for you, but this is what’s happening.'”
“I just explained it to her, these are sometimes things not in my control that I have to do. And I just want you to look at what it also provides for our family,” she said. “And so I always, every time like, ‘Oh, you’re leaving again.’ You’re just like, ‘Well, do you like going to summer camp? Do you like that? We can buy organic food. Well, mommy and daddy have to work for that, so cut us some slack.’ “
