Blac Chyna—now going by her birth name, Angela White—made headlines in March 2023 when she publicly supported Kim Kardashian, a year after losing a high-profile defamation lawsuit against the Kardashian-Jenner family.
The former reality star appeared on the Tamron Hall Show on March 30, stepping out in New York City in a striking all-white look that signaled both a style and identity transformation. She layered a fur-collared coat over a skintight skirt and leggings, paired with nude pumps and long tresses from her new extension line, Hearts Pure. On the show, she opened up about her journey of personal growth, which included baptism and reversing years of cosmetic enhancements.

Supporting Kim in Style: Angela White Wears Dolce & Gabbana Tee Featuring Kardashian Campaign
Despite the legal battle, Chyna appeared to have moved on and even supported Kim’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana.
In an interview posted by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram on March 27, Chyna was seen wearing a T-shirt featuring a sultry image of Kim from Dolce & Gabbana‘s spring 2023 ad campaign.
When asked about her choice of attire, Chyna explained, “Well, I love Dolce & Gabbana, but I wore this shirt today because I wanted to support Kim. She did a collaboration with Dolce, and I respect it, and that’s Dream’s auntie.”
Chyna was referring to her 6-year-old daughter, born on November 10, 2016, whom she shares with Rob Kardashian, Kim’s brother.

After their split, Chyna filed a lawsuit against the Kardashian-Jenner family, alleging they were behind the cancellation of her reality show, Rob & Chyna.
She sought over $100 million in damages, but in May 2022, the case was dismissed after Kim Kardashian was found not guilty of defamation.

In a candid video, Chyna shared, “I’m ready to get back to Angela. Blac Chyna is Blac Chyna—I feel like I’ve outgrown that, and it’s time for a change.”
Her reintroduction as Angela White came alongside a series of personal transformations, including dissolving facial fillers, undergoing breast and butt reductions, and stepping away from OnlyFans.
She told followers, “I [got fillers] when I was so young, I didn’t give my body time to fully develop… It’s like layers and layers and layers of it.”
Chyna also revealed she had been baptized on her birthday, May 11, 2022. In one Instagram post, she wrote, “I was reborn on my birthday 🙏🏽 God is Good 🙌🏽,” sharing footage of her baptism in a pool while dressed in white.
Along with her public reintroduction as Angela White, Chyna began making bold fashion statements on the red carpet, showcasing a more refined yet attention-grabbing style.

The top flowed casually, while the skirt trailed slightly behind her, and it featured two convenient, large pockets on the hips and a front slit that drew attention to her stunning, metallic gold pointed-toe shoes.
Completing her look, Chyna opted for a chic and playful curly pixie cut that complemented her features, paired with small diamond stud earrings.
The long manicure and impeccable makeup gave her a sophisticated and soft edge, and the rapper posed effortlessly with her leg peeking out from the high cut of the dress, revealing her foot tattoos.
Feathers and Fierceness: Angela White’s Dramatic Look at the 2023 Grammys
Blac Chyna appeared on the red carpet of the 2023 Grammys in February, decked up in a one-piece bodysuit made entirely of black feathers and embellished with stones.
The outfit’s centerpiece was the jet-black feathers that encircled and engulfed her head and upper body. But it wasn’t just the feathers that caught everyone’s attention – raven skull pendants adorning the bodysuit’s thighs added an extra touch of edge and mystique.

Chyna wore black gloves, stockings, and shoes to complete the all-black look. Her thick black eyeliner on her eyelids enhanced the dramatic effect of the outfit, making her look every bit the fierce and powerful queen she was.
However, her mother, Tokyo Toni, whose real name is Shalana Jones-Hunter, disapproved of her outfit and even criticized it, as reported by TMZ, saying, “It was terrible, and I just wish that whole day could just rewind and bring her back and put a nice gold dress on her with some blonde hair. We’d been happenin’. It was horrible.”
The 51-year-old continued criticizing her daughter while making amusing comparisons, saying, “She looked like Black Adam’s wife fell outta the sky. Like a fallen angel. It was disgusting.”
