Check out photos from Day One of the Bronner Bros. International Beauty Show. The annual hair and fashion extravaganza is taking place all weekend long at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center and featured a number of your favorite music, TV and social media stars.
James Bronner + Erika Repress + SILK
The event was officially kicked off with a press conference conducted by Show Director and SVP of Bronner Bros., James Bronner along with Show Manager, Erika Respress. It also featured the “next generation” of Bronners, who are working behind-the-scenes to ensure that the legendary show continues for generations to come.
SILK + The Bronner Clan
A highlight during the press conference included an impromptu performance by iconic R&B group—Silk. The quintet is celebrating over 25 years in the music industry and took us to church with a soulful rendition of “The Greatest Love of All.” The group, who was discovered by Keith Sweat in the early 90s, will also be featured on the opening episode of TV One’s new season of UNSUNG on Sunday, February 18.
The Cast of To Rome For Love
Other special guests at the press conference included the lovely ladies of the new docu-series, To Rome for Love—(Chef) Shay Atkins, Nakita McGraw and Mercedes Young. They are also in town hosting a viewing party for their show which airs tonight on Bravo.
Cynthia Bailey Eyewear + Candles
Other personalities spotted on the showroom floor included celebrity hairstylist and reality star Shekinah Jo, RHOAs Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore, reality diva Keyshia Ka’oir, celebrity hairstylist and Bravo TV star Larry Sims and social media star and celebrity wig maker Alonzo Arnold. Atlanta’s station—V-103—was also broadcasting live with Big Tigger.
The evening closed out with a comedy show hosted by Steve Brown and featuring Mark Gregory (nephew of the late Dick Gregory), Rodney Perry and Sean Larkins. There was also a special Valentine’s Day musical performance from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta stars Waka Flaka and his wife Tammy Rivera.
