‘Push Through’: Phaedra Parks Does a Number on Fans With ‘Go Go Gadget’ Fashion Look

Phaedra Parks is giving all sorts of fashionista vibes this week.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alumna recently showed off her jazzy style and served as fashion inspiration for her fans. She took to Instagram on Friday, Jan. 24, and shared a few photos of herself posing in what appeared to be a hedge maze.

Parks wore a black bodysuit, a Fendi trench coat and open-toe sandal heels. She accessorized her look with a red burgundy fedora that matched her bone-straight tresses. With her hat tilted and her hand on hip, she posed against a wall modishly and wrote in her caption, “Out in this #rain like Inspector Gadget with #fendiprintson 😩 #Fendi 👩🏽‍🌾”

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.
