‘Scandal’ is back for its 7th and final season.

Over the years, the Kerry Washington led show has boasted some of the most dramatic twists and turns in TV history and its swan song promises even more.

Keyshia Ka’Oir is a keeper.

The model turned entrepreneur has gained increased notability in recent years as her relationship with rapper Gucci Mane garnered more media attention.

She’s more than a pretty face, though. And stopped by Wendy Williams Show to highlight exactly that.

Looking like a regal slay, Ms. Fenty makes for an arresting sight in the Greg Kadel lensed shoot – more of which she’s shared.

If she can actually up the quality of her albums (versus just the singles), this aesthetic could work well for her next era.

Sure, the industry has a reigning Queen, but a potent princess could be RiRi’s calling.
