I love editorials, fashion, celebrities and photoshoots! It’s fun to be up-close-and-personal with the celebrities and models and learn what they like while watching them get all glammed up. On Oct. 17 the team over at rolling out had the pleasure of shooting singer, songwriter, womanprenuer and reality star Kandi Burruss.
When I say that she was so humble, down to earth, funny and fun to work with — you just have no idea! I have been on plenty of photoshoots and I have seen so many things happen, but Kandi made everyone feel at ease as she transformed into many alter egos in front of everyone eyes. Celebrity photographer Robert Ector was on set to do the honors of shooting Kandi.
Celebrity stylist Shun Munson styled Kandi in three different looks for the cover of rolling out magazine. The first look was 60’s retro glam, where she wore an Alice & Olivia red coat,with a black bow belt, vintage black evening gloves, couture hat with veil and Christian Louboutin Deja Vu Slingbacks. Derek J gave her auburn locks an updo with big pin curls.
The second look was more of a sex kitten look. She wore a $3,300 backless Michael Kors fitted dress with gold Lanvin heels. Derek J gave her “bed hair” where it was kinda messy but sexy, while Lakesha (LadyMakeup) Quinn made up her face with a soft and sexy eye and a soft sheer pink lip.
Her third and final look was based on a dominatrix theme. This was inspired by her intimate toy collection called, “Bedroom Kandi.” She wore a black bodysuit with chain belt and studded leather gloves. Her Versace stiletto boots also had chains around them for that edgy look. Her hair was frayed and styled into a ponytail with black hairband. Her makeup was done with heavy black eyeliner and black lip. I’m trying to figure out which look will rolling out choose for the cover. Check back as we unveil Kandi on the cover of rolling out this Thursday. It will hit newsstands and online this week. Check out the fun pics.
