Alabama-born supermodel Cynthia Bailey moved to New York City at 18 and quickly rose to fame after signing a five-year contract with Wilhelmina Models.

From there, she walked runways in Paris and Milan, appeared in campaigns for Maybelline, Oil of Olay, and Macy’s, and graced the pages of Vogue, Glamour, Elle, Vanity Fair, and ESSENCE. Cynthia’s career highlights include being photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair alongside icons Iman, Beverly Johnson, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks, and co-starring with Sandra Bernhard in Without You I’m Nothing. She has also appeared in numerous TV shows, films, and national commercials.

She’s the CEO of The Bailey Agency School of Fashion, founder of The Be Better Foundation, and owner of several ventures including The Bailey Wine Cellar, The Bailey Room, Cynthia Bailey Eyewear, and CB Vior. She also partnered with Seagram’s Escapes to create her signature cocktails—the Peach Bellini and Berry Mimosa—and is now an equity partner in Tequila Comisario. In 2024, Cynthia launched her podcast HUMBLEBRAG with Crystal Minkoff and returns to The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 as a friend of the show.
