Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Last summer’s push to drop the extra pounds has yielded amazing results for Kandi Burruss’ daughter Riley Burruss as she goes off to prom. However, her stepdad Todd Tucker playfully wants Riley to know she’s got eyes on her as she dances the night away.

Burruss touched back down in Atlanta from her anniversary trip to Thailand with Tucker just in time to see off her 16-year-old. On Saturday, April 13, Burruss uploaded a photo of the teen all dolled up for the event.

“My baby @rileyburruss looks gorgeous in red!” “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star said in the caption of the photo of her daughter posing in a dress by Beeōmbi. The look was put together by Burruss’ stylist Jeremy Haynes.

Burruss later followed up by posting a series of photos with her daughter before her big night out.

“I look a mess in these pics but I had to get a picture with my baby @rileyburruss for her first prom!” Burruss wrote on Instagram. “I rushed back from Thailand to make sure we were here for it. (Riley just decided a week ago that she was going…). Thank you @beeombi for making this beautiful dress for her so fast! & of course thank you @therealnoigjeremy @sewjodie & @taetv for getting her together today! 📸 @morrisde.”

Fans immediately praised Riley for her glamorous appearance.

“Gorgeous she is💯… Her mothers twin🔥🔥”

“She’s all grown up and so beautiful!! Go Riley!😘”

“OMG!!! Riley You Are Flawless In Every Way…..JUST AMAZINGLY, GORGEOUS!!!! #PERFECT.”

“Beautiful 😍😍😍😍absolutely stunning. @kandi I feel like a distant auntie. She grew up in front of all of us. Good job. This is just the beginning.”

“so wonderful to watch her blossom into this beautiful young woman, Kandi and Todd get your shot guns ready lol.”

The last commenter might be onto something based on Burruss’ husband’s comment.

“@riley you killed it! You look amazing! Classy, and beautiful! Have fun, not to much I got people watching you! Lol!” he wrote.

Folks in the comments found the remark hilarious.

“@todd167 half kidding/half serious right 😂😂😂 #dadsincharge😄”

“@todd167 LMFAOOO I love it!😂😂”

“hahahah”

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.
