Models such as Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, and even “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality star Cynthia Bailey are aging backward. 

With flawless beauty that is timeless, Bailey showed that not much of her good looks has faded over the years. She uploaded a throwback picture from her modeling days. 

“Our destiny is not written for us but by us.’ looking a bit like my @noellerobinson?! #fbf #nyc #model #myjourneycontinues #modelcynt,” the 53-year-old Bailey captioned her photo.

The Bravo reality diva left fans fawning in the comment section over her photo that seems to have her aging backward. 

“ You haven’t changed a bit! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍.”

“Absolutely beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Look the same. #blackdontcrack.” 

“That’s when you was looking like Shaniqua Watkins pretty..you still look the same.”

“You still look the same.”

Fans also pointed out how much she and her 20-year-old daughter Noelle Robinson resemble each other. 

“Yes, Noelle totally looks like you here!!! 😍.”

“Wow, @noellerobinson😍.”

“She dftnly does look like U here.”

“Looking like Noelle’s twin.”

While Robinson gets her good looks from both Bailey and her biological father, Leon Robinson, it’s clear that she picked up on her modeling skills from her mother. 

While vacationing in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Jan.2, Robinson had fans swooning in her comment section as she rocked a black see-through sequin cover-up with a two-piece black swimsuit.

She completed her look with furry slippers, black shades, and her hair in a messy bun. 

 “Living,” Robinson wrote for the photo caption.

“Yesssssss honey yesssssss♥️♥️♥️♥️ period #letsslay #cynthiabailey have and your mom ever thought about taking pics together?.” “You guys r gorgeous beautiful, intelligent ladies twinning ♥️.”

“Looking like mommy here.”

“Mother twin🔥.”

“Your mom’s twin.”

“Looking just like your mother.”

“Image of your Mom😳😲 had to look twice!!!” 

Bailey also chimed in on her daughter’s comment section by posting the “🔥,” emoji. 

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.
