Cynthia Bailey Reveals the Stunning Look She Almost Wore to the RHOA Season 16 Reunion
Plus, see how Porsha Williams closed out another RHOA season: "That’s a wrap on Sweet 16."
Cynthia Bailey’s second-choice reunion gown was too good to go unseen.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta friend showed off her alternate look on Sunday, July 27, shortly after the third and final installment of the RHOA Season 16 reunion. Cynthia posted a grip of photos of her modeling a canary-yellow organza dress with a sheer overlay and rosette detailing throughout.
“This was my second option for my reunion look,” she captioned the carousel. “Did I make the right choice or should I have worn this one?”

The garment was created by contemporary womenswear brand Jovani, a favorite among the Housewives. (Cynthia’s good friend, The Real Housewives of New York City alum Luann de Lesseps, even has a song dedicated to the label.)
Although she looked fantastic in the tulle design, Cynthia ultimately attended the reunion in another Jovani dress. She stepped out in a sunshine yellow strapless gown with a dramatic leg slit, a cutout detail under the bust, and pleating across the bodice and down the skirt.

“I’m so happy that we’re wearing yellow, because lord knows we need all the brightness, all the light that we can get,” Cynthia said backstage.
“It also gives a little bit of old Hollywood glam, which I love, of course, as an ‘up-and-coming’ actress,” she added in an email.
Following the Season 16 reunion finale, Cynthia shared a quick message for her castmates, thanking them “for all the love, kindness & memories & the warm welcome back.” Several years after exiting RHOA, the mother of one returned in a “friend of” role for Season 16.
