Rebecca is known for her work and involvement in the fashion industry and in 2018, she launched the Female Founder Collective.
The community is “a network of women-led businesses that invests in the financial power of women across the socioeconomic spectrum by enabling and empowering women-owned businesses,” according to Rebecca’s official website.
She created her own fashion brand called Rebecca Minkoff in 2005 with her brother Uri Minkoff and launched her first ready-to-wear collection four years later.
The businesswoman is also no stranger to the world of Bravo and reality shows, and in particular was a guest judge on the network’s show called Project Runway.
Rebecca is also married to business director Gavin Bellour, whom she married in 2009, and the couple share four children.

The group seemed to be having an amazing time filming, with Jenna and Erin laughing and smiling in the picture.
Minkoff later shared a short video of her modeling her outfit for the little girl’s trip, which received rave comments from both Erin and Sai De Silva.

Not only are the fashionista and her entire family long-time church members and big money donors, but her father was also implicated in the tragic death of Lisa McPherson.
Several RHONY fans have expressed their disappointment over Minkoff joining the new season, with one writing, ‘Please don’t cast a Scientologist!’
However, some viewers have expressed excitement about a potentially juicy story involving the controversial church.
