‘Twins’: Fans Say Eva Marcille’s Throwback Pic Makes Her Look Like Keri Hilson

Posted byBy Chantel Rusher | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Some folks are flipping out over the similarities between Eva Marcille and singer-songwriter Keri Hilson. The former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” made fans do a double take when she shared an old black-and-white photo on Instagram that showed her listening to music through her Beats headphones.

Wearing a white shirt and a leather jacket, a young Eva pursed her lips to strike her pose. The California native looked chic with her hair cut short and her bangs swooped to one side. In true supermodel fashion, Eva topped her ensemble off with winged eyeliner and what appeared to be lip gloss.

“#tbt,” she captioned the photo on Thursday, July 16. Some people who reacted to the image expressed the idea that Keri was her doppelganger. “Why I thought this was Keri Hilson 😭” someone said. “Twins! You and Keri Hilson look alike in this pic. 😍 so gorgeous,” somebody else gushed.

While Eva and the “Pretty Girl Rock” artist may only look alike to some people, the two women do have quite a bit in common. They both embrace their natural beauty and credit their blemish-free skin to authentic remedies. Eva explained in a 2018 interview with Bravo’s “The Look Book” that “less is more.” The mother of three explained that if she can’t do her makeup in less than 10 minutes then she probably shouldn’t be wearing it. She went on to share that she takes care of her skin underneath her makeup.

When a fan asked the 37-year-old Keri to reveal her secret to achieving clear, healthy-looking skin during her shelter-in-place days, she responded in an Instagram comment: “I’ma be straight up witcha…any glisten you see must be the result of sweat & the amount of water I drink, cuz I ain’t applied NAN lotion after showering 😂 and I prolly won’t until we’re free again.”

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.
