Hey, It's Gotta Be Better Than She by Sheree, Right?

Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes is about to add fashion designer to her already multi-hyphenated list of careers.

Leakes, who also has a recurring role on Glee, competed on Celebrity Apprentice, wrote a book and has a role in Glee creator Ryan Murphy's upcoming NBC sitcom The New Normal, has signed a deal with global brand licensing agency Beanstalk to create a line of "fashion-forward, affordable apparel and accessories," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The reality TV star has displayed her love of fashion on RHoA, where she's frequently seen shopping for dresses and shoes. The very tall TV diva tends to favor stiletto heels, statement jewelry pieces and figure-hugging dresses, all carried off with her trademark self-confidence and larger-than-life personality.

Leakes, who, according to THR, will be the highest paid cast member for the upcoming fifth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta with a $1 million salary, will work with Beanstalk to "leverage (her) position in pop culture to offer consumers fashion-forward, affordable apparel and accessories, designed to empower women to walk into a room and 'own it' -- like NeNe herself," THR reports.

Leakes is also focusing on her acting aspirations, which, in addition to Ryan Murphy's projects, have led to guest roles on The Game and Let's Stay Together. She's also appeared as a correspondent on The Insider, Live From the Red Carpet and Entertainment Tonight.

But, back to her fashion sense -- which you can see in our slideshow below -- tell us:

Take Our Poll

Would you rock a dress from the NeNe Leakes lines?

  1. Yes, I love NeNe's style and her confidence in pulling off those tight dresses.
  2. Not sure. Just because she can wear other people's clothing well doesn't necessarily mean she can design good clothing herself.
  3. No, like her "Real Housewives" co-star Kim says, I think NeNe looks like a drag queen.
