As far as fans’ eyes can tell, Vivica A. Fox has rebounded from a recent blunder of a public outing that left many baffled by her appearance.

As previously reported, the “Two Can Play That Game” actress was barraged by unkind comments when several photos and video clips surfaced of her attending a Las Vegas Aces versus Indiana Fever WNBA game in early July.

Critics were outwardly taken aback by the extra curves she seemed to have acquired on her backside and perceived tweaks to her otherwise flawless face.

Comments such as “Vivica is hilarious…. i wish she knew how beautiful she was and she never needed the knife ever” and “She need to trade that bbl in for a new one” are just a sampling of the remarks picking apart the 59-year-old from head to toe.

But in a new post highlighting Fox’s appearance last week at the NAACP “All In” national convention held in Sin City fans couldn’t spot a single imperfection with this time.

The “First Lady of BMF – The Tonesa Welch Story” film director wore a yellow halter top gown with jewel enhancements, peek-a-boo cleavage, and nearly sheer sides that gave onlookers a glimpse at her slim waist. Her hair was styled in a high, wavy ponytail, and her makeup was a natural glam look.

“WOW! You look like a doll, sis!” gushed one commenter. A second person dishing out compliments wrote, “Always FABULOUS. Queen! Keep showing us black don’t crack & we can absolutely look good no matter what.”

A third said, “Yeesss Vivica You look Stunning! Shining! Really love the Gown!”

Someone else gushed that Fox was the epitome of “Black excellence” while wearing the form hugging gown. While several others agreed that the radiant hue against her brown skin was an undeniable combination that would net her rave reviews time and time again.

“You look absolutely gorgeous Keep this color a part of your color palette,” a fan wrote.

A male admirer quipped, “Now I see why these Men be Tight!! They can’t even look you in the Eye.”

Fox has openly spoken about being single and still open to finding love. However, at least one man is not interested in batting an eye in her direction ever again — 50 Cent.

The former couple dated for almost a year after meeting at the 2003 BET Awards. While on stage accepting an award, the New York rapper gave her a special shoutout, saying, “I’m just happy to be present with all of these beautiful people in here … I want to thank Vivica Fox for wearing that dress too.”

When cameras panned to Fox seated in the front row, she seemed pleasantly surprised by the acknowledgment.

Although their romance did not last, she has long considered the “P.I.M.P.” artist the “love of my life,” even sharing that she would be open to giving their relationship a second chance. The “Power” co-creator, however, has been clear in his message about not wanting anything to do with her romantically.

In March, 50 shared a clip of himself famously shooting his shot at Fox. He wrote, “I look back at some of the s—t that I did I gotta learn to shut the f—k up. Look at that look at end that’s trouble.”

When she received flak for her alleged bad BBL, some hecklers said that the drastic transformation to her figure made it official that whatever attracted 50 Cent to her was no longer a factor.

Fox has only ever fessed up to undergoing breast augmentation and botox in a 2008 interview. Since then, she has remained tight-lipped about her evolving appearance.

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.
