MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER - a moment of triumph for Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger as she strutted down the catwalk in a sheer kaftan covering a black bikini

It was initially a moment of triumph for Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger as she strutted down the catwalk in a sheer kaftan covering a black bikini.
But after happily showing off her svelte figure, the 51-year-old love guru suffered a wardrobe malfunction when her bikini top seemed to come undone.
Sporting jeans and an ornate purple kaftan at the Guria Swimwear show in Miami Beach, the star was seen trying to cover her modesty in front of the watching runway audience.

Luckily, a female assistant came to her aid, and tied the halterneck top firmly in place, before Patti went on with the show.
She was clearly looking forward to taking part in the event, earlier tweeting: 'Getting excited to walk the runway at the Guria Beachwear fashion show presented by @sensaweightloss at Miami Beach Fashion Week!'
The matchmaker went on a 'heartbreak diet' after splitting with former fiancé Andy Friedman in August last year.

And judging by today's results, she has clearly kept the pounds off, revealing she began by clearing out her fridge before embarking on an exercise regime. 
'The first thing I did was I decided to take a personal inventory of my refrigerator and I threw out all the crap,' she told Shape.com. 'Even the frozen section because we forget about that all the time.
'If you have those moments when you want mac ‘n cheese you’re going to hit it. Then I went gluten-free because it was helping me with my headaches.'

The Millionaire Matchmaker is a reality TV show based on Patti Stanger's Millionaires Club - a club for wealthy men to be matched with beautiful women.

Patti is a third generation matchmaker, claims to have a 99 per cent success rate for her matches.

And Patti doesn't hold back in telling both the women and the men what the need to do to attract the perfect mate and have the perfect date.

She judges them on their appearance, behaviour, style and morals, insisting that absolutely no sexual activity take place between couples unless it's within a monogamous relationship.
