Nene Leakes has never been the type to show up quietly, and Luar’s New York Fashion Week show on Monday was no exception. The 58-year-old stepped out in a fully sheer top and matching shorts from Luar’s menswear line, worn with no bra and styled with a black circle-handle tote and glittery silver knee-high boots. The pieces are the Triangle Sleeve top at $180 and the Farmer short at $200, which means the whole statement cost less than most people’s weekend plans.
The finishing touch was a platinum blond bob from her own wig line, Color Mane Wigs, and that’s where the deep-cut fans perked up. Longtime Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers recognized it as a callback to her Season 7 feud with Claudia Jordan. She posed with rapper Young Miami and influencer Jackie Aina, strutted for videographer Jared Battle, and drew praise from Bravo stars Melissa Gorga and Marlo Hampton. She captioned it simply:“Not Playing Fair.”
The moment also lands right after her return to the Housewives franchise last month on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th Special, so consider this her official reminder that she’s still here and still setting the tone. The woman built a career on memorable entrances, and this one is already doing numbers.
Would you wear a sheer Luar look to a big event, or is that a red carpet-only risk? Tell us in the comments.
