Cynthia is a multifaceted individual with a diverse array of talents and accomplishments, boasting titles such as supermodel, entrepreneur, mother, actress, TV personality, and many more.
Best known for her captivating on-screen presence in the successful Bravo series, "Real Housewives of Atlanta," Cynthia's impact was palpable, particularly in the record-breaking ninth season, which concluded with a memorable celebration of her 50th birthday. The subsequent Season 10 premiere on November 5th marked a new chapter in Cynthia's life as a single mother, as she navigated the challenges of entrepreneurship and self-discovery, all while embracing her newfound status as "50 Cynt."
Cynthia's illustrious career began with a move to New York City to pursue a career in fashion modeling. Her impressive trajectory was cemented when she was signed to a five-year contract with Wihelmina Models, which led to a remarkable debut as the cover model for Essence Magazine. This milestone was not only a testament to Cynthia's talent but also a personal favorite of then editor-in-chief Susan Taylor, making it one of the highest-selling covers in the magazine's history.
Cynthia's next move took her to the fashion capitals of Paris and Milan, where she walked the runways of Paris and Milan Fashion Week, further solidifying her status as a rising star in the industry. Following a nearly year-long stint abroad, Cynthia returned to New York City, where she was in high demand, landing campaigns for Maybelline, Oil of Olay, and Macy's, as well as magazine editorials for Vogue, Glamour, Elle, Essence, and Vanity Fair.
One of the most significant moments in Cynthia's career was being selected for a co-starring role opposite Sandra Bernhard in the film "Without You I'm Nothing," beating out the legendary Naomi Campbell for the part.
Fast-forward to 2018, Cynthia has established the THE BE BETTER foundation, dedicated to empowering young girls, as well as two accessory lines: Cargo by Cynthia Bailey, a stunning collection of purses, tote bags, and luggage, and Cynthia Bailey Eyewear, a bold and affordable range of fashionable eyewear, both of which were launched due to Cynthia's passion for accessorizing.
In August, Cynthia made her debut on QVC, promoting her brands and continuing to donate 10% of her proceeds to various charitable organizations.
