Alexis Skyy is showing off her sun-kissed skin! The cast member of “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” has been flaunting her bikini body all summer, but lately she’s been modeling her bronzed complexion that seems to be making people want to emulate her glow.

In an Instagram video from Saturday, Aug. 1, Alexis is sitting on a floor in a strapless black tank top and a matching thong. The mother of one went for a natural look, sporting fake eyelashes with a hint of lip gloss. Alexis traded in her long signature locks for a short hairstyle with feathered bangs. True to form, the 26-year-old model looked incredible as she was moving her body to the beat of Pop Smoke’s single “Diana.” Alexis seemed to be filming a video for her OnlyFans page, writing in her caption “And that’s that 😎 click link bio.”

Some people went absolutely insane over her golden complexion. One person wrote underneath the clip, “That tan🔥,” while somebody else commented, “That tan is beautiful🔥🔥🔥🔥.” But another person noticed her curvy hips and gushed: “Yass thighs! How do you get your cakes so tan? You must be out in the sun for a long time.”

Considering Alexis makes the majority of her money by modeling on social media, it makes sense that she always appears to look perfect. However, some people accused the New York native of going under the knife to achieve her physique. Someone said under the Aug. 1 video: “I wonder if the silicone is making her skin dark and disfigured🙄.” Alexis has never confirmed whether she’s undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift, but she did reveal that she has received a breast augmentation procedure in a now-deleted Instagram Story from November.

At the time, Alexis encouraged women to fall in love with themselves despite their imperfections. “At the end of the day, I want you guys to know though surgery and all that stuff does not make you beautiful at the end of the day, it enhances you. That’s cool. What makes you beautiful is you in here at the end of the day,” she said. “And it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a big a-s. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have titties. Everybody has their own beauty at the end of the day.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
