Kandi Burruss has been giving the fashion girlies a show lately. The Grammy award-winning artist has stepped into a new era of style, and we are obsessed. She has teamed up with fashion curator Daniel Hawkins, and it’s been on and popping ever since!
Whether it’s a sleek pantsuit or a show-stopping gown, Burruss has been slaying in these fashion streets like nobody’s business. The former reality star popped out last night for the opening of Othello on Broadway (which she co-produced) in a jaw-dropping Christian Siriano gown that will live rent-free in our heads forever. The stunning frock was made of tulle and featured a halter neck and sheer bodice that dramatically puffed out at the ankles.

This gown aligns with Burruss’ recent fashion wins, which have been driving the internet crazy—and rightfully so. Our girl has been seen in everything from LaQuan Smith to Sergio Hudson, Area, and other top designer brands. Of course, Kandi has been that girl since her inception in the music scene during the ’90s, but time has awarded the beauty with a style evolution that must go down in fashion history as one of the best glow-ups ever.
Kandi Burruss’ Style Glow-up
Before her fashion transformation, Kandi usually kept it cute and simple in form-fitting dresses, pantsuits, skirts, etc. However, since she’s joined forces with Daniel Hawkins, the boss lady has expanded her style repertoire to baggy-fitting ensembles, mini dresses, shorts, elaborate furs, and more. She has seamlessly blended bold colors, chic silhouettes and statement accessories, showcasing her ability to balance trendy and timeless looks.
