Wendy Williams Stuns in NYC Style Amid Ex’s $250M Lawsuit

Wendy Williams Stuns in NYC Style Amid Ex’s $250M Lawsuit
  • PublishedJuly 1, 2025

Great, another former talk-show queen strutting her stuff in New York—as if her life weren’t already front-page material. Wendy Williams rolled up to Columbia University on a sunny Tuesday to back her designer bestie, Mel Maxi, and yes, she looked incredible doing it. The once-controversial TV host wore a printed monochrome button-down tucked into high-waisted black shorts, showing off legs that have weathered more storms than a midlife crisis on live television. And before you ask, that baseball cap, crisp white sneakers, and bold red lipstick weren’t an afterthought—they were a power move courtesy of Maxi’s styling genius.

I don’t *want* to be the one to say it, but Wendy’s got fashion chops that critics can’t deny. According to on-the-scene photos published by TMZ, her outfit was tailored to her tall-girl silhouette, complete with a sleek handbag slung over her shoulder like she owns the campus. Over at People magazine, they even compared her to a runway model dropping by an Ivy League lecture—because, shocker, she can still turn heads. Meanwhile, Page Six noted that Maxi’s daring prints and minimalist cut created a look that’s both approachable and aspirational. I told you so.

Of course, you didn’t think Wendy would just coast on style, did you? This mini fashion show happened while her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, is suing her for a cool $250 million. Court documents obtained by TMZ accuse Wendy of orchestrating her own involuntary confinement and paint guardian Sabrina Morrissey as the puppet master. Wendy—ever the drama magnet—denied any involvement in a TMZ morning meeting call, insisting she’s as blindsided as we are. Sources at E! News confirm she sounded genuinely frustrated, demanding to be released from this “nightmare.”

Let’s be real: Celebrity lawsuits are about as surprising as avocado toast. But watching Wendy juggle headline-grabbing style with headline-grabbing legal woes is oddly mesmerizing. Is her red lip a battle cry? Are those shorts a middle finger to her ex’s wallet? Nobody asked me, but I’m certainly rolling my eyes at the obvious: Wendy knows how to keep herself relevant even when she’s under court order. Drama, fashion, legal firestorms—it’s like she’s hosting her own reality show without signing a contract.

Keep your eyes peeled, because what’s next? A courthouse catwalk. A guardian-versus-host face-off. Or maybe Wendy will drop a new wardrobe line called “Involuntary Chic.” Either way, this saga isn’t over. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
