"My makeup artist was like, ‘Your eyes are, like, green.’ Like the white of my eyes were lime green,” Lewellyn recalled. “So I go to the doctor. They run some tests, and he was looking like he just saw a ghost.”

Even before her rise to fame on the show, Lewellyn was already paving her way through life with a career in fashion and writing. Lewellyn was an accessories editor with Essence and also published her book, Never Pay Retail Again: Shop Smart, Spend Less, and Look Your Best Ever, in 2010.

People across social media have been paying their condolences and remembering Lewellyn for her funny and bright personality.

Rest in paradise, beautiful one.
