‘It’s the Dress for Me’: Jennifer Williams’ Birthday Ode to Her Dog Goes Left After Fans Crack Up at This

When it comes to celebrating her fur baby, Jennifer Williams doesn’t mind going above and beyond.

The “Basketball Wives” star recently went all out for her dog Gia’s 16th birthday and celebrated it with a sweet post. She shared a series of photos with her 986,000 followers on Instagram on Monday, Aug. 31, that showed her and Gia posing it up on Rodeo Drive.

“Screaming happy birthday to my fur baby @giadoggieprincess who turned 16 years old today,” the fur mom wrote. “She has bought me so much joy in these 16 years, I’m so thankful she is still very healthy. Although she only has a few teeth left, I’m about to find her some yummy treats 😜 I love you Gia!!! #TeamVirgo.”

Williams’ first snap showed her and the pup dressed to a T. The reality star sported a white chiffon dress adorned with a bejeweled collar, while Gia rocked a pink tutu dress.

The second snap showed “princess” Gia wearing a luxurious yellow satin dress designed by Bark N Boujee. She posed on all fours in front of a mirror and stared into the camera.

“It’s the second slide for me 🙌🏾 Too cute. Happy Birthday 👑 Gia ❤️”

“😂my 13 year old fur baby 🐕 missing some teeth too..but is very healthy thankfully 😄❤️happy birthday lil mama love the dress! ✨ always classy and stunning.”

Make no mistake, Williams loves her fur baby unconditionally.

Last year, the television personality celebrated Gia’s birthday by dressing her up in a white and gold tutu dress and wrote via Instagram, “One time for the birthday bishhhhh… 🎉.”

Williams also dresses Gia up in the most lavish brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and more. It’s unknown if Gia will make a cameo on season 9 of “BBW,” taping for which Williams reportedly is taking part in row.

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.
