Cynthia Bailey(I)
- Actress
Cynthia is a woman of many talents with titles such as supermodel, entrepreneur, mother, actress, TV personality, and many more under her belt. Best known for her on screen personality in the successful Bravo series, "Real Housewives of Atlanta." After a record breaking ninth season, Season 10 premiered on November 5th, featuring Cynthia's 50th birthday celebration. The new season focuses on Cynthia navigating life as a single mother, pursuing new business ventures and ultimately living her best life as "50 Cynt."
Cynthia started her long running career in this business by moving to New York to pursue a career as a fashion model. She was quickly signed on to a five year contract with Wihelmina Models, which led her to a very successful first book as the cover of Essence Magazine. Not only was Cynthia's first cover with Essence one of the highest-selling covers in the magazine's history, it was also a personal favorite of then editor-in-chief Susan Taylor. Soon thereafter, Cynthia booked her second cover and thus set the mood for her successful career.
Her next move was to Paris and Milan, where she was seen strutting down the runways of Paris and Milan Fashion Week. After living abroad for almost a year, Cynthia returned to New York City and was in high demand landing campaigns for Maybelline, Oil of Olay and Macy's. Magazine editorials for Vogue, Glamour, Elle, Essence and Vanity Fair soon followed. One of Cynthia's biggest career moments was being chosen over Naomi Campbell for a co-starring role opposite Sandra Bernhadt in the film "Without You I'm Nothing."
Fast forward to 2018, Cynthia has built a THE BE BETTER foundation, dedicated to girl empowerment, and two accessory lines; Cargo by Cynthia Bailey, a beautiful line of purses, tote bags, and luggage, and Cynthia Bailey Eyewear, a bold collection of affordable yet fashionable eyewear, which were both launched because of Cynthia's love of accessorizing. In August, Cynthia landed herself on QVC to promote her brands, and continues to donate 10% of her proceeds to various charities.
