‘How Are You Aging Backwards?’: Fans Are Baffled Over Brandy’s New Pic with Eve and Naturi Naughton on Set of Their Show ‘Queens’

Brandy‘s ageless appearance entranced millions of her followers when she flooded their timelines on April 5 by uploading a behind-the-scenes photo alongside her “Queens” co-stars Eve and Naturi Naughton. “Queens,” an ABC drama that’s currently in production is about four women reuniting their music group called Nasty Bitches, while in their 40s, in hopes to regain the popularity they once had during the ’90s in the hip-hop community. 

Brandy is set to play Naomi, a powerhouse singer who hoped for mainstream success following the group’s breakup, ultimately settling for small gig performances at bars. The 42-year-old captioned the alluring image, “About earlier today!! I mean…. damn๐Ÿ‘‘ @naturi4real x @therealeve 6:30 am call time tho… โœŒ๐Ÿพ#Queens.” Naturi commented under her co-star’s post by saying “Well Damn!! Love u sis.” She also posted photos of the trio posing a couple of times on her Instagram story. In the first snapshot, Naturi wrote, “With these beautiful #Queens @eve @brandy.”

The second post includes Brandy’s initial upload. In the caption, Naturi gushed about working with the singer. She said, “I still can’t believe I’m working with you @brandy #TheVocalBible.” Many people bypassed Brandy’s latest project and focused solely on her timeless glow. One fan even asked how does the star still look 16, which is around the time Brandy starred in her hit series “Moesha.”

“Mammmmmmmmmm!!!! Just give me some of that fountain youth water please ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜.”

“Yโ€™all just defying the laws of fine…. I mean… time. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜”

“Y does brandy still look 16.”

“Brandy, how are you aging backwards though? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ #gorgeousskin.”

“Brandy boo….you look about twelve. Skin is flawless๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜.”

Last December, the “I Wanna Be Down” singer candidly opened up about her youthful appearance and her go-to skincare routine in an interview with Allure magazine. She said, “I wash my face with a mild soap in slow motion in cool water, using round, circular movements upward โ€” I’ve been doing this since I was a child.” 

Brandy also listed cocoa butter as another essential item that contributes to her flawless skin, especially during the days she’s going for a low-maintenance look. The mother of one said, “I do a good application of cocoa butter for moisture, a little foundation, concealer, and lip gloss for a non-work day.” 

Earlier in the day, the “Moesha” star shared an upload on Twitter as she headed to Florida to finish shooting the remaining scenes for the “Queens” pilot while rocking her favorite name-brand items, including Nike and Louis Vuitton. She wrote, “Off to Florida to finish this amazing #Queens pilot in my fave #MagnoliaPearl x @FreePeople and of course @Nike and @LouisVuitton.”

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.
