‘Giving Me Lisa Bonet Vibes’: Fans Are Feeling Draya Michele’s Curves and Her New Hairstyle

Swimwear designer Draya Michele knows how to get her followers worked up with just the simple post of a picture.

The petite beauty had tongues wagging with her latest flick showing off her clappas in curve-hugging denim by Fashion Nova. Michele paired the jeans with a simple off-the-shoulder, midriff-baring white top reminiscent of the famous look adopted by Janet Jackson in the cult classic movie “Poetic Justice.”

To no one’s surprise, fans and followers swooped into the comments raving about the L.A.-based actress and model’s sexy figure.

“That body right tho. 🔥”

“A whole snack 😌,” commented one person.

“So gorgeous and beautiful love @drayamichele 💙💙😍😍🍑🍑🔥🔥,” wrote another.

It’s hard to imagine that Michele was not only putting her followers on to a pair of well-fitted jeans, but also showing off her first foray into twisting her own hair.

The photo’s caption read, “This my first pic with the twists because I’m shy ☺️.” Days prior, the Mint Swim owner shared to her now-deleted Instagram Story that she was taking on the task of trying something new with her hair while continuing to shelter in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

Those who were not completely distracted by her curves in the photo gave Michele her props for the cute new ’do.

“Giving me Lisa Bonet vibes”

“I love the twists”

“Omg they look so good girl !! Like free formed locs !! Slay Draya 🔥🔥😘😘😘 🙌🏽🙌🏽”

Michele is not the only person using the extra time at home to play in her hair. Actress Taraji P. Henson has switched hairstyles several times in the past two months.

From passion twists, twist-outs, her natural ’fro, to waist-length two-strand twists, fans are probably wondering what the “Empire” actress cannot do.

“Wait! You a whole hairstylist!!” wrote one person wowed by the actress’s hair skills.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
