Nene Leakes Makes a Bold Statement at NYFW in See-Through Ensemble

Nene Leakes commanded attention at New York Fashion Week, arriving at the Luar show in a striking ensemble featuring a sheer top and matching shorts. The 58-year-old reality television personality opted for a daring look from Luar's menswear collection, foregoing a bra and completing the outfit with hot pants underneath.

Leakes paired the see-through pieces with sparkling silver knee-high boots and dark sunglasses. She also debuted an icy platinum blonde bob wig from her own brand, Color Mane Wigs. The hairstyle recalled a memorable moment from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7, where Leakes critiqued a fellow cast member's bob, describing it as "tight" and "completely folded under."

Fans quickly noted the callback in Leakes' Instagram comments, drawing parallels to the Season 7 episode. The television personality shared photos of her fashion week appearance, captioning them, "Not Playing Fair 👊🏽🔥." The post garnered reactions from fellow reality stars and fans alike.

The outfit included Luar's Triangle Sleeve top, priced at $180, and the Farmer short, which retails for $200. Leakes accessorized with a black circle-handle Luar tote bag.

Leakes recently returned to the "Real Housewives" franchise for "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th Special." This marked her first appearance on the show since her departure in 2020, prior to which she had filed a lawsuit against Bravo and Andy Cohen regarding allegations of racism. The lawsuit was later dropped.
