It’s safe to say the hip-to-waist ratio for swimsuit designer Draya Michele has fans going gaga for another glimpse at her sexy figure. After posting a flick of herself rocking a white miniskirt with a white cropped, long-sleeve top, folks peeping her photo on the ‘Gram were probably left wiping drool from their faces.

The Mint Swim line owner paired the ‘fit with some nearly knee-high python heeled boots. Her hair flowed with natural waves and she rocked a crimson lip.

The simple photo racked up more than 135,000 likes and attracted just as many folks to leave comments.

Michele wrote,” It’s getting nice outside (my house) in LA” as the caption.

“It’s the bawdy for me, like a effortless hourglass”

“Rockin them boots,” said one person.

“šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„Dang girl, work them curves!,” commented another.

“Well set it off den!” and “Hips on parenthesesšŸ˜” commented others.

The former fiancĆ© to ex-NFL baller Orlando Scandrick has posted one swoon-worthy pic after the next since their December split. From shots of her in form-fitting outfits to barely-there bikinis, the 35-year-old Michele has made it obvious that she’s not missing out on life without a man.

In late March she celebrated being in the swimwear game for 10 years with a Mint Swim billboard over her LA-based nail shop, The Brand Nails.

Giving herself the flowers she’s worked for, Michele wrote on social, “Today is a surreal day for me. My first billboard ever! @mintswimusa is my baby and Iā€™m thankful that summer of 2020 will be my 10th year in the business. On the corner of Ventura Blvd + Reseda in Tarzana directly on top of the my nail shop @thebrandnails and on top of my store @mintswimusa … now I officially own the corner. #youcanbeANYTHING.”

Fans also proud of her achievements and growth since her days on “Basketball Wives Los Angeles” flooded her with supportive comments.

“This is amazing, congratulations you deserve it!”

“I remember when you were on bwla shopping for fabric. So proud of your success!!ā¤ļø”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
