‘That Sage Stick Hairstyle Is A Nooooo’: Eva Marcille Gets Dragged for Hairstyle Worn to Cynthia Bailey’s Wedding

Model Eva Marcille is known to be quite a fashionista when it comes to the runway, but she may have missed her mark in the hair department over the weekend when she wore her locks in a questionable updo while serving as a bridesmaid in Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill‘s wedding.

On Sunday, Oct. 11, a day following the wedding, the former castmate of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” shared a photo striking a pose with Karen Huger of “The Real Housewives of Potomac.“ Marcille wore a white gown with a diagonal slit and matching white Converse shoes. She captioned the upload that generated over 153,000 likes, “Vibes 💍 @officialkarenhuger #101020.” Many fans felt Eva’s hairstyle was inappropriate, given the nature of the event.

“She just had to wear that hair style outta all days….. #Chile 🤦🏾‍♂️”

“That sage stick hairstyle is a nooooo and u knoooo it 🥴”

“Out of all the beautiful hairstyles you wear you had to choose that one to wear to someone’s wedding”

“That Hair Is Awful Especially For A Wedding!!! 🤮”

“What the hell with the hair!! Your twists look good down! We’ve been seeing all these photo shoots with the twists and now for the wedding you wear THAT?”

In addition to that, many fans who didn’t view the entire wedding album also commented on the white gown the mother of three wore since normally only the bride wears a white dress at her wedding. As guests began to upload their pics from the celebration it was later confirmed that the couple requested the bridal party to wear white and the guests to wear black.

A few days before the ceremony, Cynthia revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Eva was a part of the special celebration. “Eva will be front and center…Eva is definitely one of my bridesmaids.” The 53 year old also disclosed that no matter what had taken place in the past, she will always love Eva. “At the end of the day, this is a sunflower. I’m love and light. I think that energy kind of overwrites any of the bulls**t that was thrown our way.”

Cynthia may be referring to past friction with Eva after the “America’s Next Top Model” alum referred to her as a veteran model in a seemingly shady way.

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.
