Kelli Ferrell just gave humankind a very special masterclass in shutting down a fashion suggestion with humor and style. There was an Instagram story from Real Housewives of Atlanta that was hilarious and all about her fitting: the designer was trying to impart onto her the notion of casual wear, and Kelli just was not having it.

In the post, Kelli also shared an amusing story about her recent fitting where she was completely bent in laughter because there was a designer sketching for her a pair of jeans. “He asked me what I wear for casual. I told him I don’t. Never even heard of denim.” Her response went on, to her shock, with the designer explaining that he meant she should start with some “everyday wear”: “Sir, who are you talking to? Let’s start with the gaps in my wardrobe… sure. But casual? That’s cute.”
The photo caption reads: Kelli stands quite confidently on a platform, sporting a chic denim-on-denim outfit that screams “high fashion.” With a sleeveless button-up top and wide-legged jeans, even when Kelli tries to look “casual,” she looks like a runway strutting star. The scene of the elegant and modern room suggests that this was no ordinary fitting- this was styling to the nth degree.
Already, the fans were storming the comment section with praises and laughs. One said, “Absolutely beautiful and that skirt.” Another went on to say, “Kelli girl, I love your styles but this isn’t IT BOOKIE!” The ribbing kept coming. Another one suggested, “A light wash denim on denim look with red lip would really eat,” which basically means that even Kelli makes the others want to be envious of her when she says that she doesn’t do casual.
One of the best responses came from an aficionado who stated, “I don’t do casual. It’s simply not in my nature. I’m also never wearing aprons-I only do high fashion looks.” So, it’s not just Kelli who is pointing at casual life.
Not the first time that Kelli has caused an uproar with a bold, daring clothing choice. With her glamorous and often outrageous looks, she has always been clear on one thing: casual just doesn’t exist for her. Wherever she is, whether on the red carpet or grocery shopping, she does all-out fashion at volume 100.
And we love the world for it! The world needs more people refusing to conform to boring fashion norms. That unapologetic mentality toward fashion is a reminder that fashion should be fun, fearless, and most importantly, a reflection of who you are.
Next time they try to throw a run-of-the-mill pair of jeans at you, just channel Kelli Ferrell and say, “Sir, who are you talking to?” Life’s too good for boring.
With thousands of likes and comments, this post is further proof that Kelli’s trademark of stitching comedy with high fashion remains unerring. Whether she is clapping back at designers or speechless with her looks, one thing is for sure: Kelli Ferrell has cemented her status as a style icon in her own right. We are all eager to see what is next in store!

In addition to Kelli’s stunning looks, others have made waves in the fashion scene, like Cynthia Bailey, who always manages to dazzle, or Erica Dixon who also showcases her fashion sense. This doesn’t take away from Kelli’s exceptional taste, which is hard to rival, especially seen during her appearance as she celebrated a recent release.
