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.

“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.

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.
