ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Cynthia Bailey and her cheekbones are scheduled and busy, so look out, world! She won a role in Season 3 of Starz's blockbuster series 'BMF', but her new hairdo has completely taken the internet by storm.

For those unfamiliar with 'BMF', it is a popular series created by 50 Cent. Based on the true story of the Black Mafia Family, it follows Demetrius "Meech" Flenory and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory as they build their legendary criminal organization.

Season 3 follows the couple as they move their enterprise from Detroit to Atlanta in the 1990s. It would have been incredible to watch Cynthia portray a powerful mafia leader on this program.

That isn't the case this time. Cynthia portrays "Gloria" in Season 3 of 'BMF'.

The character description describes her as "Detective Bryant’s hard-working ex-wife who is grappling with their son’s legal battle." According to the description of Season 3, Gloria and Detective Bryant cannot afford counsel to help their son resolve his legal issues.

Gloria, on the other hand, is furious and insists on her husband figuring it out in whatever way he can. Cynthia is totally in character and wearing nursing scrubs in the first-look photos from her time on site.

'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum recently shared some more looks from the show on Instagram, which had her fans rolling on the floor. In the caption, she wrote, "Hey guys! I am back on BMF for episode 6, dropping Friday on the @starz app. ENJOY!"

Fans in the comment section could talk about one thing and one thing only as they wrote, "Cynthia I love you but they did you dirty with the wig chileee." Another user swore, "Cynthia I’m watching this for the wig alone."

One user quipped, "You know when usher had a wig like that in church SHE MEANT BUSINESS." A fourth person joked, "Cynthia this wiggggg." One person wrote, "It's looking real Tyler Perryish lol."

Was 'RHOA' alum Cynthia Bailey really a supermodel?

The Alabama native left home at the age of 18 to chase her modeling aspirations and hasn't looked back. Cynthia moved to New York City in 1985 and was signed by an agency right away.

Modeling scouts thought her style was more suited to the international scene, so she was moved to Europe, where she worked as a runway model in Paris and Milan for almost a year. Her experience abroad increased her marketability in the United States, and she began working in print advertisements and modeling for cosmetics and fashion firms.

Her famous works include Maybelline, Oil of Olay, and Target. Cynthia has also been featured in magazine layouts for Vogue, Glamour, Elle, and Vanity Fair.

She featured on two Essence covers: one in 1995 and the other in 1997. Susan L Taylor, Essence's previous editor-in-chief, once said the high-cheekboned beauty was one of her favorite models to work with.

Cynthia decided to leave the modeling industry after having her daughter Noelle, and she moved to Atlanta. With a little encouragement from her husband at the time, she founded The Bailey Agency School of Fashion, where she works with aspirants of all ages via modeling, acting, and business programs.

Some Bailey Agency pupils have gone on to work in New York Fashion Week shows and major commercial campaigns.

What is 'RHOA' alum Cynthia Bailey's net worth?

Multiple sites put the Alabama native's net worth at around $2.5 million. Cynthia is an entrepreneur and CEO of her own modeling business, The Bailey Agency, following a long career in the industry.

While she continues to pose for her many product relationships with firms such as Seagram's Escapes and Nila Bags, the reality star has shifted her concentration to acting since leaving 'RHOA'.

Cynthia has been building her portfolio in recent years, appearing in 2016's 'Sharknado 4' and 'The Stepmother', as well as the TV movie 'Cruel Intentions' in 2022.
