It’s no secret that Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has gone through a MAJOR transformation over the past few years. The diva has gone from drab to fab and is constantly making moves in the entertainment industry to further her career.
They say that the best payback is success and Nene is definitely showing her shade throwing former friend, Sheree Whitfield that talk is definitely cheap.
Not only has Nene stolen Sheree’s goals of becoming an actress, she has now dived head first into the fashion industry.
Forget She By Sheree, it’s all about that New-New by NeNe! In yet another stab at her former friend Sheree Whitfield, NeNe Leakes has decided to become a fashion designer!
Details about Nene’s latest endeavor + check out photos of her style transformation over the years…
According to an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nene just signed with a global licensing brand to transition into the fashion world.
On Tuesday, the 44-year-old mother of two announced that she has signed with global brand licensing agency Beanstalk to make her move into fashion.
Beanstalk says in an announcement tied to Licensing Expo 2012, now going on in Las Vegas, that it intends to “leverage NeNe’s position in pop culture to offer consumers fashion-forward, affordable apparel and accessories, designed to empower women to walk into a room and ‘own it’ — like NeNe herself.”
No deal is signed yet, but Beanstalk will look to license a range of consumer products built around fashions that will appeal to the women who have watched her evolve on the show.
“While the fame of reality television characters is often short-lived and fleeting,” said Michael Stone, Beanstalk’s president and CEO, “NeNe Leakes has displayed versatility that has enabled her to transition from being a Real Housewives personality to a featured television star on Glee. NeNe’s multifaceted personality and aspirational style will translate well into products that will emotionally connect with her fans.”
Well that being said… let’s take a walk down memory lane with a selection of Nene’s red carpet looks throughout the years:
You’ve come a long way babeeee….
No doubt Nene looks great but would you wanna dress like her?
Will you be purchasing that “new-new” by NeNe?
FULL PHOTO GALLERY
I honestly think she can pull it off & I will be purchasing as long as its affordable & never doubt this woman because she is really doing it & proving all the naysayers wrong I’m happy for her #TeamNeNe
Nene must be reading Bethany F book. Turn reality TV to millions. Most of them land a dude with cash then fade away.
as long as it looks good and affordable..i say do it
Congrats to Nene but she still aint worth more than Kandi.
u so wrong for that! i’m proud of nene! get your money honey.
Don’t nobody care if she ain’t making more money than Kandi. Nene is doing her thing, let that be it. She ain’t worried about what Kandi is making all she worried about is making moves and prolonging her career.
THANK YOU!!!
She has definitley made a transformation over the years. "Sigh"….Oh the wonders that money can do….On another note. I love her style, she looks good and for a decent price I would definitley buy her stuff.
Get ‘em Ms. Leakes! Can’t wait to see her line.
If it looks good and the price is right, why not!
It’s amazing that you used this post as an opportunity to bash Sheree yet again….I think the real reason that you and the rest of these ugly hoes on here that bash Sheree hate her because the bitch got money and in your eyes didn’t do anything to get it….This chitlin switch line of NeNe’s will never be created just like her toilet water wine Miss Moscato or her chain of crackhouses the Linnethia Longue….that’s why her ass won’t leave RHOA – the bitch knows that nobody’ll care about her ignorant ass if she leaves.
Yes, NeNe is Fab!!! Kandi, please cover up boo boo.
I wonder will Bryson can model her line cuz he ain’t doing shyt with HIS life. Enjoy and good luck.
I can’t wait to see Lawrence, Derek J and Andy Cohen wearing that "NewNew" by NeNe!
Nene can hire shitty Sherry as the spokesperson since she needs a j.o.b.
Oh MD! Give it a rest already. We realize Sherry has one fan left and since U R IT you can go throw her some coins for PT sessions.
Bye!
Go Nene! Go Nene! Go Nene! Keep reigning on them hoes!!!!!!!!
I honestly think Nene will be successful with this idea! Nene is a hot commodity right now! If she partners with the right people, she will be able to appeal to a huge crowd! Nene isn’t my favorite housewife, but you gotta give it to her! The woman is smart!
Nene, do not forget your roots! that is where this beautiful flower started
I would. Go Nene!
LOVE HER!!!!
The only ones happy about this are the BIG ol Ghetto Ladies. And the Fat Drag Queens, who are tired of shoppping at Torrid, and Lanebryant. Now they can shop at the Dollar Tree. .99 cent stores. Size start at
Big
Balloon
Sheet
and Fuck it!
Lmao, I love it^^^^^
No thanks….
Team Nene leakes funky dineva voice… As long as it’s 50 dollars or less and she makes shoes for us big foot trannys… I’m there! Shout out to the diva miss Marlo Hampton…just because… I live!
Congrats, but I won’t be purchasing anything in her line if it mimics what she wears on the show or in appearances. Not impressed.
MOOO MOOOS by NENE

Wow…I think it’s great. I am tall and size 14-16 so affordable fashions for that body type would be welcomed. I love her in long and flowing. On one old episode wehre she was going to meet a man rumored to be her father she looked so lovely in the long flowing dress she had on. I love the way she carries herself and her frame. Tall as she is she is not afraid to wear really high heels. I am 5’9" and really self-conscious so could never do it. She makes no apologies for anything and "owns it." Good for her. I think it looks that way but I don’t think she’s stealing anything from Sheree. I’ve read that NeNe was an actress first and the fashion thing was presented to her.
Looks great on her and I guess lots of trannies will go for it, but, I don’t see this as a money maker for real sized women, but, do your thang Nene, get those coins while you are still famous!
Nene is definitely having her moment, but I caution giving her unending praise.
Her claim to fame is caricature – a loud, boisterous bullying black woman. We’ve seen it before and frankly it is tired; contrary to what many believe, she does everything but "keep it real." Regrettably, a lot of people like this image entertaining, which is why doors have been opened for her (film, fashion etc).
As far as a clothing line goes, she has no clue about fashion, style or an keen eye. What improvement she has made was spoon-fed to her. These pseudo celebrity fashion lines are all gimmick and past their heyday anyway.
Exactly Hmmm
What about her pics from season1 when she had that washed up wig and them bottom teefs was tired and delayed. She is a joke
How did you look during season 1 ? I pray that you improved on you look too. How can you say someone is a joke, that is growing and doing things. Your statement says that you are TIRED AND DELAYED !
She needs to get a new Weave!! I don’t find her taste in clothes to appealing I wouldn’t buy them…
I’m glad to see positive things happen for a sista, and yes if its affordable and looks good I will spend on her fashion.
Just one thing though….is it really called "new new by Nene?" I hope not, why not come up with a more creative name?
I would definitely buy if its affordable…I like a lot of the flowing things she wears and I pray she keeps us size 16′s in mind and doesn’t forget we have money too! HEAR THAT NENE!
This does not change the fact she is a walking sterotype: a loud confrontational, neck rolling Black woman.
She has definitely evolved and her ‘taste’ has gotten much better. She may not be worth more than Kandi now but if she stays on this current track, she might catch up!
Oh… I’m not feeling New New by Nee Nee… come on now, we can do better than that!
Hmmm, I agree. This "clothing line" will have the longevity of a fart. It will go as far as Sheree’s did.
Nene, may I suggest a title for your line?
Moosewear by Marmaduke.
Only a dog likes a bone, and even he wants some meat on it,along with some size. You make me sad…..ROFLMAOAU !!!!
Nene doesn’t play whenever it comes to making her coins. I’m sure the fashion line will be a huge success. It might not be the next Valentino but I have no doubt that it will keep the money flowing into Nene’s bank account for years to come.
Look at House of Deron…How many people do you see wearing clothes from Beyonce’s line???? NO ONE! but it’s still making millions. So someone will buy Nene’s clothes.
Good Luck Girl!!!!
OMG ROFL @ keeping it real
I’m for any black/brown women cashing checks!!
If it makes money it makes sense!!
Go NeNe!!
Why can’t people just be happy that NeNe is making a name for herself? I only see black women speaking negatively about one another. What are you doing positive? What are you creating? What’s the status of your bank account? Stop being ignorant and learn to support one another! Damn!
I wouldn’t wear that crap if it were given to me for free. Celebrities or d-list celebrities always want to go into fashion when the materials they put their names on are cheap quality merchandise. It may start off great but will soon be in your local T.J. Maxx, Marshall’s, or Ross stores. Now Nene may try to replicate the designer clothes she wear but they will not be high in quality. She knows darn well she wouldn’t wear that crap either. Some folks need to stay in their lane.
Wow, super amazed at the narrow minded people on here. I haven’t always been a fan of NeNe but I will never knock the next female when they are trying to make a legit comeup. Why hate her hustle… get your own.
I really do love this Nene thats out now, she’s very Rich bitches and she’s also very successful and she has made her own way, so do it BOO.
She’s not rich…please. Once RHOA is over she’s done too. She’s 45, ancient for Hollywood, she’s not a star, just comic relief.
