Kandi Burruss is entering an exciting new phase in her career, expanding her talents beyond music and reality television. This week, she has been promoting her acting and producing projects, including her role in ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Season 2, and her behind-the-scenes work as a producer for the upcoming Broadway production of ‘Othello’ starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington.

Openly discussed her decision to leave ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ (RHOA) in pursuit of new opportunities. It would appear that it’s not just Kandi’s career that’s evolving—her style is too. The actress-producer delivered a dose of sultry sophistication in a Del Core midi dress. The dress, named the “peeling dress,” has a zipper detail that peels open to reveal spaghetti straps. The label is known for their highly detailed looks, but even with this seemingly minimalistic creation there is still meticulous thought and detailing. Some might consider the leather gloves a bit out of place given the openness of the dress’ neckline. However, one can imagine the coat she might have had nearby to keep things chic but practical. The finishing touch—Del Core’s strappy sandals and tights.

Camel was always the go-to colour for early Fall, but that seems to have given way to brown and plum hues this year. Kandi reminded us how chic and cosy this hue is wearing a Sergio Hudson Fall 2024 dress featuring a swishy skirt, and perfectly complemented by a tan leather belt. However, I’m not sure the Femme strappy sandals were the best choice here—they look painfully uncomfortable for long wear, or short-term wear for that matter.
One thing is clear: Kandi Burruss has never looked better, and much of that can be attributed to her stylist, Daniel Hawkins, who also works with Fantasia Barrino, Daniel has taken Kandi’s style from reality TV star to full-fledged Hollywood celebrity.
