‘Body Goals’: Alexis Skyy’s ‘Curvy’ Ensemble Puts Fans to ‘Sleep’

If you’ve seen smoke billowing from your computer screen lately, it either has a major malfunction or it’s the result of Alexis Skyy heating up the internet over the past month with various photos and videos.

Like on Nov. 7 when she shared a clip of herself twerking in a tight white turtleneck and cutoff jean shorts. Or a little before that, when she uploaded a photo of herself in a black bodysuit and posed against a wall.

Skyy also drove fans wild with a photo she posted of herself on Nov. 30, where she showed her derriere to the camera.

Now the pic that’s getting a lot of attention shows the former “Love and Hip Hop: New York” star in a sequined dress that exposes much of her torso and hips.

“Tonight I plan on putting you to sleep,” wrote Skyy in the caption.

She also shared two videos of herself in that same dress. One shows her dancing seductively to Teyana Taylor‘s “How You Want It?” and the other shows her twerking in a nightclub.

Underneath the still photo, people let Skyy know how much they liked the outfit, and many used a bunch of fire and smiling face emojis to express themselves. But most used words to describe what they thought of the dress and piggybacked off of Skyy’s caption.

“You can put me to sleep anytime of the day babygirl 🙃 I’m here for it,” someone wrote.

“Body goals🙌🏾 curvy 😍,” someone else followed.

“Yea it’s lit I’m ready to go to Slp😂,” wrote a third Instagram user.

“You stay wit your foot on dey necks boo😍💕💞💕💞,” another person stated.

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.
