Kenya Moores new unrecognizable look had fans claiming the reality star from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” resembled former supermodel Naomi Campbell after she uploaded a caption-free Instagram story on May 16. Moore — who was wearing a floral ensemble in the recording as her light tresses blew in the wind — was seen gazing into the camera while using an Instagram filter, which slightly altered her physical appearance, including her lips.

The mother of one was attending the wedding for her makeup artist and friend George Miguel in New York. Moore shared images from the wedding, including the grooms exchanging vows with the caption, “where there is love there is God.” Following the nuptials, the Kenya Moore Hair Care creator gave fans a look into the reception by reposting a video from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga, who was also in attendance.

Many fans overlooked the joyous moment and occasion and revisited her initial story, where she shared similar features to Naomi Campbell. Some brought up how they thought at first glance it was the former supermodel, while others asked why Moore looked different.

“Why she look different.”

“Giving me Naomi👏.”

“Harpo who dis woman, 😂😂😂😂😂 I thought this was Naomi Campbell.”

This isn’t the first time Moore’s look has become a topic of conversation. Last month, many followers commented on Moore’s massive weight loss after she uploaded a bikini pic displaying her tiny physique as she posed on a yacht. The 50-year-old was filming “Real Housewives All-Stars,” a Housewives crossover series that included her “RHOA” costar Cynthia Bailey, “The Real Housewives of New York” stars Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer, and Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” plus “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Kyle Richards.

In the past, Moore Has credited a weight-loss program, working out and eating right as main factors for her newly slim figure.

Still independent.

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.
