While most of 'The Real Housewives' shows focus on the petty arguing and wild escapades of the women on the show, the Cynthia Bailey Denim Magazine photo shoot proves that 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' star is much more than just a [reality television personality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primer-donnas).

Bailey has walked the runways of New York and Paris and is signed with Trump Model Management and Ford Models. The gorgeous, and mostly black and white, photo shoot features Bailey's signature long, pin-straight hair, dramatic eyelashes and fierce, glamorous outfits.

Glamor seems to be the theme of Ms. Bailey's look and the shoot for the magazine's January 2012 issue captures that perfectly. Shot by photographer Will Sterling, the Cynthia Bailey Denim Magazine [fashion editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam) is truly stunning.
