‘Like She Just Stepped Off the Runway’: Kenya Moore’s Throwback Pic Leaves Fans Speechless

Kenya Moore flaunted her seemingly perfect body in a throwback Thursday photo on Instagram, and fans could not get enough of the reality star’s beauty.

The former beauty queen was dripped in a cheetahlicious swimsuit and a pair of black stilettos. Her throwback picture depicted the star’s long legs, and fans nearly fainted over her look. The photo shows the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member pushing her now-deceased dog, Velvet, in a stroller.

The model captioned her photo, “#TBT the photo shoot with @CynthiaBailey10 From a puppy baby to a real baby! I still miss her. —-I miss that body too! 🤣—- #RHOA.”

Fans posted their reactions to the steamy photo on social media.

One user said, “BARBIE…but better. 🖤”

“🔥🔥🔥YES to all of this! Snatched 🔥🔥🔥,” commented a second user.

“Like she JUST stepped off the runway!❤️,” said a third fan.

The reality star lost her puppy, Velvet, in season 6 of the hit reality show. The star had her Yorkshire terrier for seven years before Moore’s dog was killed by her neighbor’s dog. Moore claimed she found Velvet’s body dangling from her neighbor’s dog’s mouth.

The former beauty queen told viewers, “It happened so fast. I let her outside and then I heard her screaming. I ran outside. She was on the other side of the gate. The dog had her in its mouth, dangling her.” The reality star told fans that she tried to take her dog to the veterinarian after the incident, but she was too late.

Fans resent Moore their condolences after seeing Velvet in her throwback Thursday photo.

“We miss velvet 😞😞😞😞😞,” a user commented.

“RIP Velvet ❤️❤️❤️,” said another fan.

A sixth fan said, “Awwww Velvet 😭😭😭.”

In spite of losing her first puppy love six years ago, the reality star appears to be giving all of her time, love, and attention to her daughter Brooklyn Daly.

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.
