Fans of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” are buzzing over Phaedra Parks’ latest Instagram photos, with many commenting that the reality star appears completely transformed. Sporting a bright orange bodysuit and flaunting long ash blonde hair, Phaedra captioned her post: ” crush,” while giving a shoutout to her style team.

While many fans praised her “gorgeous” look, others were shocked by her new appearance. One commenter wrote, “Not being funny but something changed. I love you Phaedra, but did you bleach your skin or get a facelift? You don’t look like the Phaedra from Real Housewives.” Another echoed this sentiment, saying, “Surgeons be changing y’all’s whole identity.” Comments like “Bring Phaedra back ️” and “Nope ” also appeared, alongside questions such as “Phae is that you?” and “Who is this?”

Earlier this year, Phaedra revealed she had split from actor Medina Islam and was preparing to re-enter the dating scene. The 47-year-old underwent a cutting-edge weight loss and muscle toning treatment in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and shared her journey with The Sun.

Phaedra explained that balancing multiple jobs and homeschooling her sons during the pandemic led to weight gain, prompting her to seek a quick fix to boost her confidence. She said, “After Marriage Bootcamp, Medina and I attempted a bicoastal relationship, but with long-distance and the pandemic, I decided we were better as friends. Marriage Boot Camp was a wonderful experience, but I am ready to get back into the dating scene.”

She further detailed her struggle with weight gain and her fear of going to the gym due to COVID-19. “As a mom of two young boys who are very active and I’m a single parent, so I’m cooking, cleaning, teaching school, and working my numerous jobs. I really hadn’t had time to keep up with my gym and with COVID, I’m really afraid to go into the gyms right now.”

To address her concerns, Phaedra sought help from celebrity plastic surgeons Dr. Payman Danielpour and Dr. John Layke. She underwent a session on their EMSculpt Neo machine, a non-surgical treatment that uses electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency to burn fat and build muscle. This treatment, along with her bold new look, has certainly captured the attention of her fans and sparked widespread discussion.
