Who Wore It Best?: ‘LHHNY’ Star JuJu and RHOA’s Marlo Hampton Have Fans Seeing Double

Love and Hip Hop: New York” star JuJu Castaneda and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” guest Marlo Hampton had fans seeing double after the pair stepped out in the same pair of woolly white Yves Saint Laurent boots.

Now folks are struggling to decide who won this look.

Both ladies turned heads with the fashion-forward footwear, which features fringed Ostrich feather strands covering a white velvet knee-high boot. Pop star Rihanna, 32, rocked the statement shoe just one week after they debuted during YSL’s Spring 2018 fashion show in Paris, according to Harper’s Bazaar.

Castaneda paired the boots with an icy white mini dress featuring a plunging sweetheart neckline cut-out. A pair of custom diamond-encrusted chains graced her neck while gold rings glistened on her thumb and forefinger. Plus, her gilded watch, gold charm bracelets and shimmering pair of Dolce and Gabbana shades were also hard to miss.

“Still going bad on em’ anyway 😎 #Juju,” the reality star captioned the post.

Meanwhile, Hampton went for a more minimalist look and rocked the boots with an off-the-shoulder dress from the award-winning House of Chapple fashion house. A cute clutch bag, two bracelets and a pair of diamond earrings were all the RHOA star needed to tie the look altogether.

Fans went crazy over both of the women’s looks and chimed in on who they thought wore it best.

“Juju has on to many Accessories — Marlo✨,” one fan wrote.

“Marlo got this. Buttttttt I like where juju was going with it!,” said another.

One fan simply couldn’t choose, writing: “Both! Slayed 2 different ways.”

One user commented that “both looked horrible,” while another argued that Marlo took the cake because Juju “looks like a drunk Jamaican.”

“Marlo for this one,” another fan agreed. “It’s Juju’s style (I get it), but sometimes her accessorizing takes away from the outfit. Love where she was going with it minus the jewelry.”

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.
