Throwback Thursdays #TBT: The Style Evolution of Niecy Nash

Niecy Nash’s rise to stardom can simply be attributed to good old fashioned hard work.  Add rambunctious, side-splitting humor to the mix and you’ve got the perfect combination for some serious star power.  Making audiences laugh since her Reno 911 days, the actress’s résumé boasts a number of television shows and films like Ava Duvernay directed, Selma, to her credit.  So, given her expansive career, it’s only inevitable for her style to coincide.  And with a cast as fashionable as her co-stars on FOX’s hit show Scream Queens, it seems Nash has been giving the girls a bit of red carpet competition.

Though she’s a fan of an “all-black-everything” look to emphasize her more demure side…
