Reginae Carter’s Versace-Themed Post Brings Fans Out of Their Seats: ‘Now That’s a Look’

Reginae Carter, the daughter rap icon Lil Wayne, is heating up the internet with her spruced fashions.

The “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” actress has been on a roll with her stream of modish fashion posts, and fans are loving every single one of them. She took to Instagram on Monday with a photo of herself rocking all Versace, including pink-and-blue open-toe sandals and a matching vinyl pouch that retails for $450, paired with a black zip-up leather dress.

The 20-year-old also showed off her new ‘do, which consisted of black-brown-and-blond ombré tresses. She appeared to go for a fuller coverage makeup look, including a subtle brown eye look and a cherry brown lippie. She posed for the photo in front of a fireplace and added in her caption “I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I’m already thinking glamour. – Donatella Versace.”

Carter’s blacked-out voguish fashion look drew a slew of compliments from fans who praised her style.

“Damn Nae Nae out here snatching edges 😍😍! Uh ohhhhhh look at you sis,” one fan said.

Another added, “Nae Nae now that’s a look Pooh 😩😂😍🔥 nobody touching @colormenae period she keep these hoes on they toes 🔥.”

“You always represent for us melanin queens 👸🏾 #beautiful need ya own fashion line id rock colormenae jeans💪🏾,” said a third fan.

“You look so gorgeous 😍 I like the shoes & purse Versace thingz ❤sassy asf,” someone else commented.

The “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” alum has also experienced fans bashing her physical appearance a few months ago. Earlier in February, the star encountered a social media troll who urged her to wear makeup after posting a bare-face selfie.

“You not ugly but you need make up sis,” the detractor wrote.

Toya Wright, Carter’s mother interjected and fired back, “She don’t need s–t. She’s beautiful with or without.”

The 20-year-old told BET in November 2017 that due to her father’s success, she sometimes feels it’s too much pressure being in front of the spotlight.

“I feel like people put pressure on me for no reason,” she said. “They don’t look at me like this little girl growing up, they look at me as Lil Wayne’s daughter and Toya’s daughter growing up. I still make mistakes. I still do things, like I’m growing up.”

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.
