‘Harpo, Who Dis Woman?’ Tami Roman Unrecognizable In Latest IG Picture, Invokes Black Super Woman Vibes

Tami Roman has fans doing a double-take.

The “Basketball Wives” star was barely recognizable in her latest Instagram post, where she stunned in a flowing platinum blonde wig, huge diamond cross earrings and a metallic bustier. Roman posed as her alter ego “Tatiana Trill” in the gilded look, which was part of a recent photo shoot for Upscale Magazine, according to her caption.

Fans were taken aback by the new look and wasted no time flooding the mom-of-two with compliments on how beautiful she looked.

“Harpo Who dis woman 🤣🤣,” one user joked. “Is this the same Tami or the new improved Tami 🔥🔥”

“IT’S BLACK WONDER WOMAN…and I’m here for it 😍😍😍,” wrote another.

“Now wait a minute super model!!!!,” fellow reality star and model Cynthia Bailey commented.

Another fan exclaimed Tami’s look was giving them “Xena Warrior Princess /Amazon vibes!!!😍😍.” Several others agreed and compared the look to a “modern-day Storm” from Marvel’s X-Men.

“WOW! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!” another wrote.

“The Real World” alum also has her hands full with her business ventures, and isn’t afraid to let her haters know that she stays “booked, busy and blessed.” Roman is set to make her return to “Basketball Wives” in the coming weeks and her footwear line, launched in collaboration with designer Jessica Rich, recently debuted a new shoe.

The mompreneuer first announced her shoe line earlier this year in an interview with Footwear news.

“When I thought about a business I could get into, I wanted to pick things that are organic and authentic to me,” she told the outlet. “I don’t do things because someone else is winning in that lane. I do things I’m passionate about — and in the event it doesn’t take off, I can say, ‘But I still love it!’”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
