‘What Waist?’: Reginae Carter’s ‘Summer Body’ Leaves Fans Gawking

Former “Growing Up and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Reginae Carter is on social media apparently serving all sorts of “body goals.”

The 20-year-old has the Internet shook after flossing her snatched waistline in recent photo. She took to her Instagram feed on Wednesday afternoon and uploaded a photo of herself playfully posing in a pink Fashion Nova cropped top and a pair of low-rise denim jeans.

The celeb’s ensemble highlighted her apparent slim torso and waist, causing fans to take notice.

“I need your waist it’s too snatched 🙌🏾!”

“What waist? 😩🔥😍 Nae is my dream summer body all day long 🤤.”

“Ok summer body ready sis! #goals 😍 you look goodt sis!”

“Cute face slim waist! And your stomach on flat flat 🤩 I love you baby, you worked that tummy off Nae!”

“#waistgang @colormenae you look stunning 😍 I need to get back in the gym 😩.”

Carter’s snatched waist was seemingly obtained by her recent lifestyle change. Around October, she told fans that she’d been working out with a personal trainer who helped her drop 10 pounds. She apparently began eating cleaner and increased her fitness regimen with intense boxing workouts, helping her tone her arms, legs, core, obliques, and more.

“I wanna thank my trainer @iamthekingoffitness for helping me through this fitness journey!” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “I had discipline and I stuck with my diet! #NoDaysOff.”

The reality star’s physique showing post follows on the same day of her premiere date announcement of a new film she’s starring in.

“Meet my family 🤗 #prideandprejudiceatlanta#cantwait#june1st#lifetime such an amazing cast,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

Last November, she announced on social media that she had landed her first major acting gig in the upcoming Lifetime film “Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta.” The film is an all-Black contemporary version of “Pride and Prejudice,” based on the 19th century novel by Jane Austen. It’s set to premiere Saturday, June 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime network.

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.
