‘She Not Wearing White?’: LisaRaye McCoy Fans are Stunned After Seeing the Actress Wear Color  

Actress LisaRaye McCoys fans were too stunned to speak on Feb. 22, after seeing the actress wear a non-white ensemble while attending her sister Da Brat’s wedding.

Da Brat married her partner and the founder of Kaleidoscope Hair Products, Jessica Dupart, at an undisclosed location, reportedly with a handful of guests in attendance.

The list included McCoy, radio personality Rickey Smiley and alums from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” — Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton. The couple, which recently announced they were expecting their first child together, began dating in 2019, and got engaged two years later.

In the Instagram post shared on Smiley’s account, McCoy was seen wearing a purple cut-out top with lavender bottoms, as she sang along to a cover of Babyface’s hit single “Whip Appeal” with the comedian, Williams and Morton.

In addition to the clip, Smiley captioned the post, Me, @thereallraye1, @porsha4real, and @shameamorton singing @babyface’s #WhipAppeal on @sosobrat’s big day!!” As the upload began circulating online, many people expressed how shocked they were not to see McCoy in her signature color.

A social media user went as far as to claim that given the circumstances, “The Players Club” star’s decision not to wear white gives an idea of how much she loves her sister.

“McCoy has rocked that staple color for years.”

“SHE FINALLY WORE ANOTHER COLOR.”

“She’s not wearing white?”

“IS LISA NOT WEAR WHITE?! IS WHITE NOT ON LISA?! OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I’LL SEE THE DAY.”

“She loves her baby Sis cause she’s wearing something other than white. She might have actually been in the wedding too.”

Among the “white” outfit remarks, one individual mentioned the excitement of seeing McCoy attend Da Brat’s wedding following a public quarrel between the two. The actress and her sister were at odds in 2020, after McCoy revealed she was hurt that Da Brat came out to the world before informing her.

That person wrote, “Everybody talking about Lisa Raye not wearing white and I’m just happy to see her at the wedding following the drama in the tabloids….I really want to see them come to a common ground.”

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.
