‘Looking Like a Sun’: Cynthia Bailey Stuns Fans with New Photo as She Counts Down the Days Till Her Wedding

Fans couldn’t help but notice that “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey was beaming with joy in a new photo she posted on Thursday, Oct. 1.

The reality star was decked out in a flowy yellow long-sleeved maxi dress and posing in front of green scenery, and she captioned the Oct. 1 upload “💛 10/10/20 #CHill Dress: @meghan_fabulous.” Fans gushed over Bailey’s new look.

“Loving that color!” a second fan raved.

A third wrote, “I can’t take my eyes off of you.”

“You Glowing👍,” a fourth fan replied.

Another admirer complimented the 53-year-old on her gorgeous look: “SOOOOO PRETTY! Looking like a sun🔥🔥🔥😍🤩.”

She paired the look with her engagement ring and flashed her pearly white smile. As for makeup, she went with a neutral look and a gloss. She completed the elegant ensemble with her long, brown, loosely curled locks.

On more than one occasion in the past few weeks the bride-to-be has dedicated several photos to her upcoming nuptials or her fiancé Mike Hill. On Sept. 26 the mother of one showed her 3 million fans that age was nothing but a number when she posted sultry pics in which she was wearing a snakeskin-patterned dress. She captioned the pics, “Profiling 4 bae. @itsmikehill  #CValley  #tapin  #nomakeupday.”

In the post, she uploaded a two-photo collage of herself standing on a balcony in front of a background of leafy trees. In one shot her back is slightly arched and she looking off to one side as she twirls one of her long braids. In the second image, Bailey is slightly bent over and gazing into the distance.

Hill definitely took notice, responding, “Bump Bump Bump!!! Love it, baby!!! ‘Down in the valley where the girlies get naked’ #ComingToTheStage I’m gonna need that when I get back home!!” The photo generated over 36,000 likes and over 400 comments.

The couple is set to wed on Oct. 10, which follows her previous concerns about having to postpone the ceremony due to the pandemic.

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.
