Kenya Moore’s new face nearly broke Black Twitter on Wednesday. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum debuted her new face at an event celebrating 75 years of Miss USA in Miami, Florida.
Kenya won the Miss USA title in 1993. She became the second titleholder from Michigan and the second Black winner in the pageant’s history.
In a new video, Kenya looks drastically different than she did last year. Some fans say she looks unrecognizable.

At first I thought it was AI, but Kenya Moore really went under and got an eye lift.

The 2026 Miss USA pageant will be held at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, August 27, in Miami.
Organizers are under pressure after Miss North Carolina USA Brittany Boltinhouse was stripped of her title for making racist statements on social media.
The CW network recently announced they will not be airing the pageant. No reason was given for the network’s decision not to air the beauty pageant.
An Aug. 20 Instagram Story statement on Miss USA’s official account noted they “were unable to reach mutually agreeable terms for this year’s event.”
