‘Looking Like a Whole Meal’: Phaedra Parks Slays in Hot Pink Dress

Phaedra Parks wasn’t included in the new “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast photo where everyone totally slayed in black, but she hit the town in hot pink all on her own.

The outsted peach holder stepped out Wednesday night to ring in rapper T.I.’s 39th birthday at The Brasserie at Bazati restaurant in Atlanta.

“#Aboutlastnight celebrating a 👑 G-day @troubleman31 🎂” the Atlanta-based attorney captioned a series of photos of her arriving at the bash and rubbing elbows with Tip and his wife Tiny Harris.

Parks wore her ombré blond hair draped around her shoulders as she strutted in a hot pink ruffled Victor Glemaud dress. She paired the look with simple jewelry, strappy gold sandal heels and a Louis Vuitton beauty case.

The look instantly dazzled fans who couldn’t wait to pile on more than 900 comments about the outfit.

“Now you didn’t have to shutdown the scene like this damnnnn ❤️👏 🔥”

“Pheadra out here looking like a whole meal 🥘!”

“Fuschia & phadrea you killing em💥💥💥💥”

“@phaedraparks sis you giving La Vie En Rose’! 😍😍”

“Cut up then Ms. Parks 🥰😍❤️”

“You wearing that pink like paint baby 💕 pink lemonade 💕 I know they want a sip 😎”

Parks has been keeping busy over the past few months — especially when it comes to her love life.

The ex-Bravolebrity recently made things Instagram official with her boyfriend Medina Islam, who stars in the OWN series “The Haves and the Have Nots.” The moment came after Parks was photographed hand-in-hand with her beau — who is about 10 years her junior — when they grabbed lunch together at The Misfit Restaurant and Bar in California in July.

And while the romance is still relatively new, the pair could be preparing to take it to the next level, if a report from TMZ is to be believed. Parks was reported to be gearing up to return to reality TV by joining the upcoming season of We TV’s “Marriage Boot Camp.” The new couple is apparently navigating the next phase of their relationship, and Parks is looking to live in Los Angeles, where Medina is based. As such, Parks is mulling uprooting her sons Ayden, 9, and Dylan, 6, to be closer to her boyfriend.

Parks is still tending to her young sons, whom she shares with ex-husband Apollo Nida, who was recently released from prison after serving five years on charges of conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. Parks recently saw off her boys to the first day of school after reflecting on their summer days at the beach.

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.
