‘The Hair Is Giving!’: LisaRaye McCoy’s Red Carpet Ensemble Blows Fans Away

LisaRaye McCoy showed out on the red carpet for her new film, “Single Not Searching.” The mom of one wore an all-white fitted dress with gold pieces accented all around it. Feathers surrounded her forearms and all around her waist. 

McCoy’s gorgeous bun updo had gold jewelry attached to it, leaving her neck open and available for a large gold choker necklace to be placed around it. It was McCoy’s shoes that were the icing on the cake. She strutted in clear heels with white and gold straps and fur running down the sides, which successfully put her entire outfit together. 

“Great time tonight celebrating the premiere of my new movie Single Not Searching in Atlanta. This feel good film was shot in Atlanta and Ghana with an amazing cast,” McCoy wrote for her caption. 

Fans were blown away by McCoy’s amazing ensemble and commented on their favorite part of her look. 

“The hair is giving, yes!”

“Umm info on the shoes please!”

“The dress! The shoes! The exit! You exude grace and style queen.”

McCoy’s “Cocktails With Queens” co-stars Sylenna Johnson and Vivica A. Fox joined fans and sent over their comments about how stunning McCoy looked. 

“Fabulous! Congrats queen” Fox wrote. 

“Sooo gorgeous! Yesss congratulations” Johnson said. 

“Single Not Looking” is a romantic comedy that follows a group of girlfriends who travel from Atlanta, Georgia, to Ghana, West Africa for their friend’s wedding. According to Peachtree TV, the film is “filled with wild twists and turns.”

McCoy stopped by WGCL-TV CBS 46 to discuss her new film. The 54-year-old actress portrays a woman named Angela who is “searching for companionship I will say, and not necessarily love.” 

She continued to explain the film, “It’s the drama, the tears, the laughter, the joy, the pain of trying to find love and the combination of Ghana and America, coming to America; you know what I mean, while going to Ghana.”

The film is scheduled to be released on Sept. 6. 

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.
