Porsha’s Seven Wardrobe Changes
Aside from exclusively telling People that she was “ridiculously excited” to wed Goubadia, Williams also revealed that she was “anxious” ahead of her seven wardrobe changes between the two ceremonies.
“It’s going to be a true fashion extravaganza. I just couldn’t turn any dresses down! If a wedding dress came my way, and I loved it, I got it.”
On Friday, the day of the first ceremony, Williams graced her guests with three outfit changes. For the nuptials, she wore a red gown by designer Lakimmy customary. The gown was made for an Edo bride and she also wore an okuku, a headpiece with Benin coral beads.
Williams later changed into a royal blue gown and gold gown.
If that wasn’t dazzling enough, Williams continued to upstage her wardrobe with her second round of ensembles for Saturday’s American ceremony. According to People, the nuptials were given in front of 350 guests, at a Methodist church in Atlanta. Those in attendance included fellow Housewives stars Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Kandi Burruss, Drew Sidora, and Cynthia Bailey. Also in attendance were Karlie Redd, Jennifer Williams, T.I., Tiny Harris, and more.
Williams looked stunning as she walked down the aisle in a white lace Frida ballgown. Afterward, the newly changed into an Albina Dyla gown for the reception ball held at St. Regis Atlanta.
If that wasn’t enough, Williams also swapped this ensemble out, sporting another for the bouquet toss, and another for the after-party. People also shared that Williams sported a new wig, by her brand Go Naked, for every ensemble change.
“I thought, ‘Why not? It’s my last wedding forever.'”
