‘Twin Cheetah Girls’: Lil’ Kim and Bernice Burgos Battle in Cleavage Baring Dress

It appears that mega-rapper Lil’ Kim and video vixen Bernice Burgos may have the same taste in fashion after they were spotted wearing the same outfit.

The two celebs attended Milan Fashion Week in Italy this past week, where they were seen rocking a pink and black cheetah print dress crafted by popular fashion designer Philipp Plein. They both donned a Pink Paradise dress to the fashion show, a garment that retails for around $5,000.

The “Go Awff” rapper paired her cheetah print ensemble with a pair of glittery strap-up silver heels and matching fingernails. She wrote her hair in a side ponytail and opted for a glam makeup look, including a pink eye look and nude pink lippie. She posted a photo of her and Burgos to her Instagram on Sept. 23 and wrote, “Me and @realberniceburgos were @philippplein’s twin cheetah girls 🐆 #pleinpinkparadise #milanfashionweek #philippplein.”

Burgos complemented her dress with classic black pumps and light pink fingernails. Like Kim, she too opted for a high ponytail with her signature laid edges. She went for a super-dramatic eye look and a mauve lipstick. The urban model posted a photo of herself wearing other Phillipp Plein get-up to Instagram and wrote, “I want to thank @philippplein for the opportunity, i had so much fun. Shout out to his team for taking care of me.💗💗#Philipppein #PleinPinkParadise #MilanFashionWeek.”

Both the “Queen Bee” and Burgos drew positive comments from their fan bases.

“Kim looks amazing! 😍 looked better when Megan and Nikki did it first”

“Bernice was looking better she’s bae af! Love her she’s so beautiful”

“This one that’s actually equal! They both look amazing 😍👏🏽 both look bomb 💕”

“They both Killing it 🥰😍. But I gotta give it to Kim. Yasss Queen. YASS!!”

Speaking of the Queen Bee, she’s slated to go on tour with former “Bad Boy Records” label mate Faith Evans. The pair made the huge announcement during the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die” album mural unveiling in New York City on September 13.

“We’re about to do a tour together, yall! We’re going to do a first ladies tour,” Evans said.

Lil’ Kim will be joined by the singer in a co-headlining tour sometime in the near future. Official tour dates have to be announced.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
