Porsha Williams Wows in Maternity Photo as She Awaits the Arrival of Baby PJ

Porsha Williams may be nine months pregnant, but she’s not slowing down on the fashion front.

Following her co-star-studded baby shower Sunday, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star uploaded a photo in a stunning African-print gown that has fans fawning.

“👑 #MrsMckinleyToBe #PjsMommy #Royalty #Muva,” Williams captioned the photo while noting with a hashtag that she’s set to walk down the aisle with Dennis McKinley.

The photo is part of a spread in The B Collective magazine, a print publication that celebrates special occasions like baby showers, weddings and birthdays. Shot by photographer Stanley Babb, Williams had fans amazed as she posed in a handmade custom gown designed by Lavie By CK. Toronto-based celebrity hairstylist E-Stylez opted to keep the mom-to-be’s hair simple in a slicked-back-but-messy low ponytail, and in an effort to keep all the attention on the wow-worthy dress, it was paired with an Okoye choker by True Face by Grace.

All together, the look had fans in total awe.

“Yessssss love this!!!! Stunning.”

“Gorgeous 🔥 🔥 🔥 love the dress @porsha4real.”

“🙌🏽❤️💙😍Yes Porsha! This is absolutely beautiful.”

“This pic embodies what being a strong woman is!!!! #loveit.”

“Wow that is so editorial!! What an awesome maternity shoot!! 📸🤰🏾💕”

Further teasing what fans can expect to see in the magazine, Williams uploaded another picture from the shoot on Wednesday.

While her followers gushed about her incredible photo shoot, Williams’ fiancé had fans speculating that the couple may be in the middle of becoming first-time parents after he posted a revealing photo of Williams on his Instagram account Monday.

“Thank you to everyone who sent/showed love for baby PJ! We are appreciative of the prayers, well wishes & gifts! Porsha it’s your time to be a mother 🙏🏾❤️ #PJBabyShower,” the Atlanta restaurant and business owner wrote in the caption of a nude Williams posing with her belly prominently on display.

As eager as fans are to meet the baby girl affectionately nicknamed PJ, their excitement can’t compare to that of Williams and McKinley.

Williams told People magazine last September when she announced her pregnancy that the engaged pair is elated about becoming parents.

“The thought of me getting that blessing after praying for it for so long and getting that blessing with someone who is just as excited as me — it’s Dennis’ first child, just like me — and it’s something we’ve both always wanted … It’s like a dream come true,” she said.

Still independent.

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.
