Who Takes the Peach?: ‘RHOA’ Star Cynthia Bailey Twins With Kandi Burruss in Sexy Gold Dress

Cynthia Bailey and Kandi Burruss are apparently quite the fashionistas.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars were spotted wearing a Mac Duggal golden metallic sleeveless evening gown retailing for $398. Both ladies put their own twists to their fashion looks, but fans ultimately decided who wore it best.

Bailey was the first “RHOA” star to rock the elegant ensemble during her and co-star Kenya Moore’s sit-down with Bravo TV to discuss the new “Bad Boys for Life” film featuring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith.

The former model rocked a pair of rose gold lace-up heels with her dress and accessorized it with large bangles and over-sized hoop earrings. She went for an overall bold guise, including brown and blond ringlets and a dramatic makeup look.

Burruss wore the gorgeous silk dress to the 2020 YouTube Music Leaders and Legends Ball on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at the Atlanta History Center in Georgia. The Xscape singer complemented her attire with bronzed open-toe sandal heels and jazzed the look up with a clutch, diamond necklace, and drop earrings.

The singer and songwriter kept her makeup guise simple with a chocolate-color lipstick and wore her brown loose waves to the side over one shoulder. She posted a solo picture of herself wearing the dress and captioned it “Golden like a trophy!”

Bailey realized she and Burruss were twinning in their Mac Duggal gown and reposted side-by-side images of the two of them. She wrote, “Twinning & always winning @kandi 💥 #twinning #rhoa #golden.”

Fans gave their opinions on who wore it best.

“It’s a case of who wore it best. And as much as I love @kandi she is gorgeous very sorry Kandi , Cynthia wins. ❤️🙏🇬🇧”

“Kandi look better in it she fill the dress up more 🍭🍬💯 same dress different bodies 💜 “

“Both of you look amazing BUT I think Kandi’s curve are killin’ it! And Cynthia is giving legs and face. I can’t decide! 😍🔥 Gorgeous”

As of now, both of the “RHOA” stars are filming for season 12 of the Bravo series. The show runs every Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

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.
