NeNe Leakes is no stranger to many of us as far as television is concerned. Getting her start on reality TV with The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Nene used her breakout star status to her advantage. From Dancing With The Stars to primetime sitcoms, from Broadway to comedy show tours and even operating as the driving force behind her eponymous HSN clothing line, NENE by NeNe Leakes, there’s no stopping NeNe. We’ve watched her as the years progressed, and it’s safe to say her style has evolved exponentially, right along with her repertoire
In the early years, NeNe sported darker, longer hair with subtle honey blonde highlights, usually rocking halter satin dresses or oversized knits during her casual days. Since then, she’s upgraded her look ten fold by downsizing her mane to a beach blonde bob. NeNe’s also traded in those printed cotton frocks, costume jewelry and hardly any makeup to a full on glam squad and some serious designer duds. Not to mention how much of a fan of diamonds she’s become.
She rode into diva territory and took no prisoners as soon as the likes of Hervé Léger, Christian Louboutin, Tom Ford, Chanel and Hèrmes appeared in her wardrobe. While every day may not be a day to wear expensive gowns that sweep across the floor, NeNe stills dolls it up in casual outfits, bringing together a chic blazer, distressed jeans, a designer tote, and fierce heels.
But when it’s time for red carpet appearances and galas, this “Glam-ma” lives for couture and all things designer. From Lela Rose to Givenchy and Pedram Couture, she’s definitely become one to watch as the cameras flicker.
Not one to back down from a verbal spat, this fiery Atlanta native shows no signs of slowing down, especially not in the style department. So, let’s peruse the gallery above and witness her style evolve.
