Newbie “housewife” Kenya Moore, played host to the cast and crew of RHOA for a grand costume event, where participants were encouraged to dress up as a character from their favorite old school movie.
The event, held at Atlanta’s historic Callanwolde Fine Arts Center was dubbed “Forever Relevant,” and each housewife joined Moore in dressing up to pay homage to their favorite Black actresses.
All the ladies looked amazing in their costumes and your favorite ex-con, Marlo Hampton even paid a visit last night.

Hot ghetto messes….all of them!
Nene looks FABULOUS!!! Da bitch needs to go back to ha natural hair color – black. But my fave Phaedra – oh lawd, dis girl look atrocious
They look like they had a blast. Negative Nancy.
that looks like fun IMO they look awesomely CUTE..
kandi’s man never looks happy. its almost like he’s being paid to be with her. lol i guess he is
every dude she been with!
Now this looks like a good time, I love theme parties. I have to say that NeNe is pulling off the Grace Jones look, Marlo nailed Diane Carrol, Cynthia and Peter did Diana and Billy D some justice!!!!
Not Grace…Strange! And yes, she is. Very creative idea.
Now write this down for the history books, because this is the one time I will actually compliment marlow.
She looks cute. No Diane Carroll, though. More like Nancy Wilson.
That is the best that I have ever seen marlo look…wow. Kandi was right about that wig looking like something from the Chuckie collection. Nene looked good also. Very nice to see them all having a good time.
Marlo and Kenya look EXCELLENT!!! I wish BRAVO could have dropped Cynthia or Kandi and put Marlo in as an official housewife. Marlo would have turned this season OUT so well. I love me some Marlo Hampton. And Kenya Moore is the prettiest dark skinned women to ever grace television.
Nene, Marlo, and Kenya would get ratings to 4-5 million views weekly easily.
No. This show would get ratings and jail time. Marlo would have been cut Kenya first day of taping.
LOVE! This is the kind of event I die for on Real Housewives. I am so glad Bravo put some time/money into this glamorous event. They all look fantastic. Though Kim would have done great at an event like this, I sure don’t miss Sheree!
Great party theme. Love the pics. Looks like fun!
Phaedra’s catwoman is over the top. Anyone know who is Lawrence supposed to be?
himself lol
I love it – Phaedra has really grown on me with crazy choices like this. Phaedra seems like she is so much fun! It do take nerve to go on TV like that. This is the kind of RHOA event I have been waiting for, well, for years!
Now that Sheree is gone, I hope Dwight was there too, this is practically calling his name.
Everyone looks nice. I hope BRAVO air this event. The customes was something different and unique.
everyone looks pretty good.
(Kandi could’ve done better though)
that looks like fun. it is nice to see black women rep black icons. i usually see the young black girls being Marilyn Monroe and Barbie. so that was refreshing. i wasn’t sure about Kandi’s Tina Turner or Marlo’s Dianne Carroll. but still cute nonetheless.
KANDI GET CHO LIFE,GIRL DON’T INSULT MY GIRL TINA, TINA IS MY TRUE SISTA. YOU LOOKED A HOT MESS. GET YOUR MONEY FROM KIM’S BROKE ASS AND GET IT RIGHT. CYNTHIA I THINK NAILED THE CHARACTER OF DIAHANN CARROLL. YEAH MARLO IS DID LOOK GOOD. I LIKE MARLO.
MY BAD, CHILD YOU SO RIGHT, DIAHANN WAS DONE BY MARLOW, AND CYNTHIA AS DIANA ROSS. GOOD TO SEE THEM PORTRAY OTHER POSITIVE BLACK ICONS. YEAH I AGREE, THAT WAS GOOD AND REFRESHING. NENE ROCKED GIRL. THANK GOD KIM SORRY BEHIND WAS NOT THERE, AND SHEREE. I FEEL SORRY FOR KROY, HE DON’T LISTEN NEITHER.
Nene killed it! Marlo looks great! I agree with the comment about dropping Kandi or Cynthia for her. She would be great on the show!
Cynthia and Peter look great!!!
I love Marlo,NeNe,Phaedra,and Cynthia! Lawrence was just being Lawrence!
Is Porcha Dorothy Dandridge??
yes
I don’t get the people saying Marlo should be an official housewife? yes, she starts shit. but she has NO qualifications of a Bravo housewife
-No kids
-No husband (or man, really)
-No career
basically she would be a complete BORE outside of filming with the ladies
Totally agree. I think I got plenty of Marlo last season, though I can see how she would be amusing as supporting cast.
I agree Redagain….Marlo is okay as a supporting cast…We know these women have friends outside of the cast…So, she can show up from time to time…But, she’s not married…what is the point of making her apart of the cast. I think Kenya has a man aleast. Maybe she and Kandi will make some type of announcement…lol just saying
KANDI IS NOT MARRIED, KENYA IS NOT MARRIED, KIM WAS NOT MARRIED, SHEREE WAS NOT MARRIED, AND CERTAINTLY NOT DWIGHT, SO WHY NOT MARLO, GIRL I THINK SHE WOULD BE SALT FOR THE SHOW, AND SURE WOULD ADD SOME INTERESTING MIX WITH THAT ARROGANT KENYA. SO VERY SORRY TO LOSE NENE; SHE WAS THE SHOW, SHE WAS FUN, FUNKY COLD DIVA, AND SHARP.
KIM WAS JUST A NAME CALLING HEFFA. USELESS, CHEATING KANDI OUT OF HER MONEY AFTER KANDI CREATED HER A HIT, THIS HEFFA CAN NOT SING. SHE IS TONE DEAF. SO YES BRING IT ON WITH MARLO.
Andy Cohen head at bravo TV isn’t exactly take to kind to the faggots comment she said. Andy makes the approval of who is cast or made official.
Co sign. Can’t do Marlow. An embarrassment to decent black women everywhere. Her materialistic shallowness should not be televised.
Did y’all hear about Phaedra was arranging
contracts for a prostitution ring
Loving Marlo and Cynthia’s diva Ms Ross and Ms Carrol look.
Cynthia looks great! Well really they all look great minus Kandi(I hate to say
) That mop on her head is not serving Tina Turner tease to me. Makes me think there is a bald, evil doll running around looking for his hair. Also Kandi, can you ease up on the right angle eyebrows?
Who Sheree came as– an unemployed woman? LOL. But am I just a stickler for details, but if Kandi was ‘Tina Turner’ in the ‘What’s Love Got To Do…’ days, her BF is a bit off. He is rockin ‘Ike’ turner gear from a decade before. When Tina was rockin that look, IKE was long out the picture. IJS.
Heyyyy Marlo! Every one looks great!
Ok now Marlo/Marqwan definitely look like a dude, a drag queen, in that pic. Lawdhammercy!
Phaedra looks stupid and nothing like a Catwoman just a dominatrix.
Kandi went the cheap route as usual. $9 dollar wig and $10 jacket from Tags.
Nene look alright but just not on Grace Jones level.
Kenya doesn’t look anything like Foxy Brown.
Cynthia looks fab but sorry Peter honey, you are no Billy Dee!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know that other chick and don’t care who she is supposed to be.
I like the concept of the event…that’s a very cute idea. I’m loving NeNe’s pick as Grace Jones….I’d like to be her for 24 hours myself.. : )
Phaedra and Cynthia+Peter(okay Billie Dee : )… cute…I’m a little lost on Marlo and Lawrence but Okay. and who is that… as Ike…that’s not Kandi’s man(Todd)…is it? lol
Kenya and Porsha are cute too.
CUTE! …. I would have bust in there rocking Chaquita Bananas "yes Gawd" go in Ms. Josephine Baker!
YASSS!!! I would live for whoever came with that!!
…also could somebody inform kenya she’s already black so she didn’t have to get a spray tan.
Hey NewMeKnowYou!!!
What the HELL is she getting spray tan for? That’s like a woman in an F cup buying a padded bra. WTF for?!
NMNY, LTNS (long time no see).
Hey Ladies, what’s up? I know it’s been a minute since I followed the post religiously, sometimes life calls and things that once seemed important has little meaning. In your free time send a prayer my way.
no problem. will send a shout out for u
Kenya isn’t aging well.
And Portia should’ve gone as Thelma from Good Times. Or Maya Davis Fox.
That is all lol.
I must say Cynthia did Diana’s Mahogany justice. The others just looked like they dressed up for Halloween. I hope Derek Blanks was on hand to take to do another alter ego photo shoot like the did in the first season.
Miss Kandi no ma’am, not tonight! Your hair is layed like a ghetto troll doll.
Nene you better work!
Nene worked it out! The character works for her in every way.
Marlo’s look is hot. She pulled it off.
Kandi not so much. She’s not a pretty child no matter how you slice it.
Phadre’s booty looks hot hot hot.
Cynthia looks authentic.
lol @ your comment about kandi, kandi did NOT pull of tina turner, but she get an A for effort! lol firt of all tina turner had great legs and she didn’t wear no damn leggins..lol she should have went with bell bottom pants !
NE NE AND CYNTHIA KILT IT!
Was Kandi invited at the last minute..she really didn’t put any effort into her outfit..just the hair…she could have done better with Tina..
Nene looks ok and I agree, she should try black or even darker hair because I feel like she looks older with the lighter hair for some reason.
Kandi mustve had someone else pick out her outfit who put no real effort into it. She always seems like shes not really into anything they do as a group unless its something for her anyway.
Cynthia looks true to character. Gold star for you.
Kenya gets a F for effort because she went the easy route when she being the hostess shouldve been outdoing every other m-fer in the place. Boo for you.
Marlo, maam you almost got away with it. Yes doll you almost look like a real woman. but that face is beat though.
Looks like they had a good time considering there was no drama.
NENE GIRL SHOULD HAVE COME AS CLEOPATRA, SURE LOOKED THE PART ON THE CHARIOT. THE EYES WERE POPPING, SHE LOOKS VERY GOOD. NOW THAT’S MY OPINION AND I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION RIGHT, CAUSE I AM VERY RICH BITCH, SO DON’T GET IT TWISTED. WHILE YOU RUNNING YOUR MOUTH I AM CASHING A TRUMP CHECK, DONALD TRUMP, YOU’RE DONE, YOU’RE DONE. AND SURE ENOUGH SHEREE WAS DONE, HEFFA GONE NOW. I COULD NOT PASS UP THE RUN OF NENE, FOR LAUGHS ONLY.
I can’t believe Kenya asked Porsha to come as Halle Berry in BAPS to this party. smh
Porscha showed she was a poor sport by not going with the program. Only those with no respect for themselves cannot respect others. As quiet as its kept, she looked cute as B.A.P.S. and she could have had fun with it. "Kordell filed for divorce." Bloop.
