Leakes slipped on a pair of black combat boots and then changed into a pair of heels during the busy day.
NeNe’s long locks were parted down the middle and flowed effortlessly over her shoulders in light waves.

The star flashed a big smile as she struck some cheerful poses before and after filming while being greeted by fans waiting outside.
Not long after the reality star opened up about her possible return to RHOA and listed a few conditions while speaking with TMZ during his trip to the Big Apple this week.
Leakes also shared her response to Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo, revealing that she was a fan of NeNe and expressed her desire to have her back on the show.
‘I’m a fan of NeNe Leakes. I love her. Where is she? Bring her back,” he said during an interview with W Magazine last week.
“A lot of people were sending it to me,” NeNe said of Erivo’s comments on RHOA. The television personality then gave a special shout-out to the actress, telling her, ‘Cynthia, I love you! Thank you very much and I totally agree.’
Leakes also spoke about the number of viewers and fans of the Bravo series, which began airing in 2008.
NeNe appeared on the show since the first season, but exited in 2020 amid a contract dispute.
Two years later, she sued the network and Andy Cohen over allegations of racism and a toxic work environment. However, just a few months later, he dismissed the lawsuit and claims.

‘You know, honestly, a lot of people watch The Real Housewives. So many stars, big stars, watch Real Housewives. They really do.’
He went on to say, “It was a pleasure to see that Cynthia loves The Real Housewives Of Atlanta and especially loves NeNe Leakes.”
The star was then asked about returning to RHOA and she responded, “I don’t know.” If the opportunity was right and the control was timely, why not?
Last year in February 2024, TMZ reported that NeNe would not be returning for season 16 of the hit show and had not spoken to the series’ producers at the time.
That same month, RHOA castmate Kenya Moore addressed rumors about Leakes returning to the show on The Tamron Hall Show, according to Deadline.
‘I don’t know, I can’t answer that. That question has been asked many times but according to our boss, that door is closed. But you know, you never know.
While NeNe’s return to RHOA is still up in the air, she has since focused on other business projects.
The television personality traveled to New York to promote her upcoming podcast with Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Sierra Glamshop, titled Me & My Homegirl.

The star was then asked about perhaps returning to RHOA and she responded, “I don’t know.” If the opportunity was right and the control was timely, why not?
The first episode is scheduled to premiere later this month on January 16, and the second part will be released on January 30.
During his latest interview with TMZ, Leakes talked about what fans and viewers can expect from the new podcast.
‘You can expect us to keep it 1,000% real. We will talk about anything and everything. Nothing is off limits: from pop culture to relationships, love and finances.’
“And from time to time, guests may show up, but we don’t want that to be our focus,” he added.
Three months earlier, in October, NeNe also sparked plastic surgery rumors after uploading a clip of herself attending a glitzy event.
