‘Just Absolutely Stunning’: Ashanti’s Newest Red Bombshell Look Is Flooring Fans

Ashanti is no stranger to killing it in the fashion department, and one of her newest looks is no exception.

The “Say Less” singer attracted major fanfare among her Instagram followers on Nov. 14. The star sported a vibrant red gown that featured a plunging neckline and ruffled skirt with a high-low hemline. Ashanti posed with one hand on her hip in an icy-blond wig. A barren Los Angeles landscape stood behind her as the massive train of her dress billowed in the wind.

“Heart… some of us have it.. some of us don’t.. some of us are scared of what others think they know…. ❤️,” read the accompanying caption.

Fans couldn’t help but rave over the singer’s appearance.

“Hun ur a star 🥳😘😀❤️💕❤️🥳😊🥳❤️”

Ashanti’s newest look is noticeably high-fashion, but it’s a contrast from some of her more barely-there looks. Just over a month ago, the performer set fans’ tongues wagging with a bold-patterned sheer bodysuit and thigh-high boots that firmly put her curves on display.

“Damn baby wow.. yes beautiful baby ❤️❤️❤️! Much love always! Beautiful nice sexy hips 🔥”

“Ashanti is sexy AF. Look at this thickums. Your pics have been giving me LIfE!!! 😍”

“Legs for days🥰 I love u so much sweetheart 👍very beautiful! have a good day!! #sexygorgeousfine”

Ashanti has certainly put her mark on things on the fashion front. At the top of the year, the singer shared the varied way she picks out designer threads.

“I do some online shopping and I definitely go into the store and shop,” she told Fashionista before rattling off a list of her favorite locations, including Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. “In person, my sister put me on to some really cool vintage shops on Melrose. There are really some gems on Melrose. I hate, absolutely hate, trying clothes on, but I absolutely have to. But, I’ll do a little bit of both.”

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.
