Draya Michele’s Beauty Post Derails When Fans Zero In on the Creases In Her Shoes

Draya Michele has been a fashion icon since she made her splash on “Basketball Wives” in 2011, but now it seems like some people are questioning her latest fashion choices.

The former cast member of “BBW” recently posted a photo on Instagram that showed her sitting on what appeared to be her tile floor. Draya wore a black-and-white biker shorts set with a pair of white Nike Air Force 1s. Without any makeup and her hair pulled back, the mother of two struck her pose by gazing at the camera.

The swimsuit entrepreneur wrote in her caption, “Delete, block, and enjoy your summer.” While Draya flaunted her blemish-free face and modeled long luscious legs, it was ultimately the dents in her shoes that captured her fans’ attention. An Instagram user commented: “Baby why you got them creases like that. You so silly 😭🤣.” Draya responded: “my foot is too skinny. Lol. Its unavoidable 😂.” Someone else also noticed the creases in her shoes and said, “Right foot looking a lil 2020ish.”

This isn’t the first time Draya’s feet have been the topic of conversation on the internet. At the end of April, the 35-year-old reality star shared a photo on Instagram that showed her rocking a gray-and-pink pair of Nike Air Max 720 shoes. People implied that her feet looked larger than usual, suggesting that she wore a size 12.

Draya expressed that she knew her feet were not her greatest asset in a now-deleted-tweet from 2014. Joe Budden, a reality star on “Love and Hip Hop New York,” playfully suggested to Draya on Twitter that she was blessed in all the areas on her body except her feet. The model jokingly teased back at Joe and said that her feet were her greatest weapons.

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.
