Last Sunday, the dark and thunderous clouds that had been hanging over the city of Atlanta for 14 long years finally parted to reveal a blindingly bright ray of sunshine: She by Shereé, in all of its glory.
Even for those who aren’t religious, the culmination of a meme over a decade in the making is enough to consider some higher power. That’s because Real Housewives of Atlanta star Shereé Whitfield walking down the runway at her highly anticipated, long-awaited fashion show in a triumphant slow-motion didn’t just resemble Jesus leaving his tomb early to gag the girls—it was better.
Yes, after nearly 15 years, She by Shereé has finally come to market. And how gloriously kismet that Shereé’s infamous joggers have finally seen the light of day in September-Spring-Summer! But it wouldn’t be a Shereé Whitfield event if there wasn’t some level of unexpected catastrophe to balance out the jubilation. The show may have gone off without a hitch at the very last second, but the line’s in-tandem online launch was far from smooth. This disconnect is uniquely Shereé, and it’s what made this season finale of Real Housewives of Atlanta a beautifully messy masterpiece.
