‘We Like the Bayang’: Kandi Burruss Has Her Comment Section Chattering Up a Storm Over Her Latest Look

Days later, people on social media are still celebrating the inauguration of the 46th president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, and Vice President Kamala D. Harris. 

Folks have taken to their social media platforms to share videos and posts demonstrating how they’ve been commemorating the historic moment, including singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss, who decided to get dolled up for the special occasion.

When it comes to fashion, the reality star seldom disappoints, and her latest style efforts appeared to be no different. On Thursday, Jan. 21, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” mainstay uploaded several photos of her looking breathtakingly beautiful in a shimmery azure gown. The elegant floor-length ensemble featured a plunging neckline — a cut the former Xscape star loves to wear — and long puffy sleeves. It also featured two thigh-high splits and a slate-gray belt around her waistline. Kandi complemented her gown with a pair of black Yves Saint Laurent heels. 

Her hair was styled in a pulled-back ponytail braided into a fishtail-like pattern with layered bangs in the front. Kandi also opted for a soft glam look but elevated it with a blue smoky eye. She accessorized her look with a pair of large jeweled earrings.  

She was seen striking a pose against a glittery black backdrop near an even more elegant deep white tub. “I had to put on my blue dress last night to celebrate @joebiden & @kamalaharris! Looking forward to what the future holds! 💙💙,” the star captioned the post, which garnered over 56,000 likes.

Fans of the singer were mesmerized by her beauty while praising her sense of fashion, including one user who wrote, “Your style has really been OFF THE CHAIN THIS SEASON AND YEAR.” The “Just Kickin’ It” singer kindly wrote back, “Thank you!❤️.”

Fellow “Housewives” co-star and socialite Flynn Guobadia commented, “Omg these bangs are EVERYTHING🙌🏾😩.” A second fan echoed those thoughts, writing, “We like the bayang 🔥🤎🤎.”

“U need to rock bangs every day of your life! Lol. This look screams perfection,” someone else expressed.  Another wrote, “You really bringing it this year with the fashions and hair!” They added, “You’ve always had it going on but… Like more than ever for 2021!! 😍.”

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.
