The 41-year-old mother-of-seven was accused of being 'too old' to show off her legs
Alec Baldwin's second wife Hilaria passionately defended the length of the $2,850 Zimmermann 'Rebellion' frayed mini-dress she donned to the Gotham Awards in Manhattan Monday.
The 41-year-old mother-of-seven decided to publicly respond to an Instagram comment from user @richieo2000, who accused her of wearing a 'dress way too short for your age.'
'Richie, are you saying that 41-year-old women can't show off our legs?' Baldwin (born Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas) challenged.
'I'll tell you what, I'll show you a workout and, if you can do it, I'll lend you my dress. It's really fast. Bear with me, come.'
The former yoga instructor kneeled down inside her bedroom of her $11.7 million Greenwich Village penthouse, put her head on the carpet and proceeded to demonstrate a perfect handstand.
'Heels aren't required by the way,' Baldwin noted.

'Put your head on the floor, put your hands down, use your core and then straighten the legs up. And perfectly good legs - they bend, they straighten, they can criss cross. You can bend one and then the other, and you lower yourself down.'
The Baldwins reality star then crawled to her phone camera and said: 'Do you think my dress was gonna fly up, Richie? It didn't.
'So by the way, I don't care if they're 21, 41, 81, 101 - our bodies, our legs are not offensive, Richie. We can show them.'
Baldwin - who boasts 1.1 million social media followers - then captioned her video: 'And I'm actually not lending you my dress, Richie.'
The Boston-born culture vulture used to co-own the yoga studio chain Yoga Vida in New York City with Michael Patton, but it went dark in 2023 - three years after her Spanish scandal, which she blamed on ADHD and dyslexia.
On October 7, Baldwin was the fourth contestant eliminated off ABC's fan-voted reality TV competition, Dancing with the Stars, which she blamed on online 'bullies.'
And last week, the Manual Not Included author returned for the season 34 finale to witness Australian wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin - whose sister Bindi won season 21 - be awarded with the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
The Baldwins enlist two nannies to help care for their seven children - daughter Carmen, 12; son Rafael, 10; son Leonardo, 9; son Romeo, 7; son Eduardo, 5; daughter MariLu, 4; and daughter Ilaria, 3.
The 67-year-old Oscar nominee is also grandfather to two-year-old granddaughter Holland through his 30-year-old daughter Ireland from his seven-year marriage to ex-wife Kim Basinger, which acrimoniously ended in 2002.

The married couple of 13 years - who are in therapy - originally met in 2011 while dining separately at the since-closed restaurant Pure Food and Wine in New York City.
After being replaced by Martin Short as host of The Match Game, Alec scored two upcoming films - Mike Hatton's drama Hollywood Heist with Nick Cannon and Victoria DeMartin's psychological drama The Cutting Room Floor with Karen Allen.
The Here's the Thing podcaster's troubled film Rust only earned $26,831 at the box office - all of which will be donated to the late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' widower Matthew Hutchins and 13-year-old son Andros.
Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed July 12 after he denied ever pulling the trigger on the revolver that fired a single bullet into Rust director Joel Souza's arm and punctured the Ukrainian DP's chest killing her, at age 42, in 2021.
On January 9, the three-time Emmy winner filed a civil lawsuit against the Rust case prosecutors, investigators, and commissioners for defamation and malicious prosecution and civil rights violations due to 'intentionally mishandling evidence.'
Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was released from New Mexico Women's Correctional Facility on May 23 after serving 18 months for her involuntary manslaughter for her role in the shooting.
