Despite Posing with CeeLo Green Phaedra Parks’ Dress Steals the Show

Phaedra Parks stepped out in Atlanta Wednesday night to support CeeLo Green and his GreenHouse Foundation but despite the charitable event and posing with the Grammy-winning recording artist, fans simply gawked at her dress.

“About #lastnight what an amazing time with my girl @marilynbooker at my folk @ceelogreen #Greenhouse #foundation #gala #philanthropy,” Parks, who formerly starred on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” captioned the photo-op with Green and his fashion curator fianceé Shani James.

Parks was one of many guests attending the gala, which supports the GreenHouse foundations’ efforts to “educate, inspire and empower children to adopt a green lifestyle so they can positively impact the sustainability of our resources,” according to the website.

While there, the Atlanta attorney managed to take some photos with Green but despite his star power, fans were much more interested in getting details on her shimmery dress.

“I need to know where u got this dress from @phaedraparks!🔥”

“Please share where the dress comes from! I love it @phaedraparks.”

“That dress though😍😍😍, where did you get it.”

“I LOVE THE DRESS! Did you tag them? @phaedraparks.”

“@phaedraparks Please overnight me that dress girl, You look FAB♥️😍😘 P.S I can inbox you my Fed Ex Act. Number🙆‍♀️.”

“How do you be finding these BEAUTIFUL dresses? You have an Awesome stylist.”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT DRESS @phaedraparks #RUNWAYSHARP WHERE CAN I PURCHASE?”

“Ummmmm @phaedraparks u are one of best dress this year … You cleaned up 2018 with these outfits hunni 🙌🏽🙌🏽😍😍😍😍… patiently. Waiting on your return🤷🏽‍♀️”

Parks, who notably responds to fans’ comments on Instagram, was happy to inform them of the designer. She also revealed it’s not a stylist who finds her such wonderful gowns.

“@1935queen just a stroll through @saks 😘,” she said to one fan.

Replying to another, she added the dress is from designer Stacey Bendet’s Alice + Olivia.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
