Eva Marcille’s Mom Steps In To Defend Daughter After Trolls Trash Wedding Day Hairstyle

Photos from Eva Marcille’s wedding day have emerged nearly a week after her lavish ceremony and while several fans praised her look, others hated on her simple hairstyle.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star got hitched to Atlanta attorney Michael Sterling on Sunday, Oct. 7 and the nuptials were seen by all of Marcille’s RHOA co-stars, including Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, Marlo Hampton, Tanya Sam and Shamari DeVoe.

Many fans raved about how stunning Marcille looked.

“ISSA PRINCESS!!! 😍😍😍😍”

“I was waiting for these pics!!!! Just beautiful!!”

“She looks breathtaking 😍 that dress is everything 🙌🏾”

“Oh my gosh, she looks so gorgeous‼️”

But others chimed in to remark on how much they disliked her hairstyle, which was a wavy ponytail.

“What’s going on with the hair??”

“This hair ain’t it 😐.”

“Come on Eva hair always look so nice! but look mess up on her wedding day! dam..but she still look nice doh blessings always hun.”

“That hairstyle and tiara nope.”

“Her hair got wet?”

“That hairstyle and the headpiece don’t go well together, probably a low bun with some curls would have been nicer (just my two cents).”

And others swooped in to defend the ‘do.

“Not everybody wants a case of Pump it Up in their hair on their wedding day. Get off her.”

“@nani_w Thank you sweetie. That was exactly what she said to me. ‘Mom, I want my hair simple. It’s not about the hair,'” wrote Marcille’s mom.

“@nani_w I know, right? @evamarcille could’ve had every strand of hair out of place and started a wedding trend by doing so. She is a stunning woman. If folks are that petty that they can only focus on what they perceive to be her hair a mess? I feel sorry for them. Must lead very miserable lives.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
