‘It’s the Stretch Marks For Me’: Fans Applaud Draya Michele for Embracing Unedited Photos of Her Body

Model and entrepreneur Draya Michele is normally known for flaunting her sultry good looks and having great photo-op angle shots, but when the former “Basketball Wives” star decided to take a different approach on Tuesday by sharing unedited pics of herself, fans were singing Michele’s praises.

On the Oct. 6 upload, the “Perfect Match” actress — who wasn’t wearing an ounce of makeup other than false lashes and lip gloss — also wore a two-piece patterned bikini. The swimsuit is a special edition collection in honor of the tenth anniversary of her swimwear company Mint Swim. In every photo she displayed how each bathing suit complemented her curves.

The first pic shows the model from the waist up, raising her arms in the air and looking off into the distance as she wore a halter-style one-piece swimsuit with a variety of colors, such as pink, red, orange, and black. The swimsuit also had a plunging neckline that barely contained Michele’s revealing cleavage. In another photo, the Mint Swim designer was standing seductively showing off her hourglass figure in her bikini as she placed her arm across her stomach.

Many fans appreciated the transparency of the shoot because it smashed the societal expectations of having a perfect body.

“It’s the stretch marks for me 😍🔥 Go sisss.”

“I love that you didn’t edit these 💕.”

“Loving the unedited real pics your body is ELITE ……🏆.”

“Dope AF how natural you kept this pic … we sometimes forget how perfect we are as we are 💯.”

“Raw. Confident. Beautiful. 💕”

Before this acclaimed upload, the 35-year-old’s body erupted as a topic of discussion in 2019 when Michele made headlines after people speculated that her assets weren’t all natural. She rebutted those allegations by tweeting that the only thing fake about her is her boobs.

“For the record. I’ve never had lipo suction, s curve, fat transfer, and Brazilian butt lift…. for any confusion out there. There isn’t a doctor out there that can take credit for anything on me except these boobs and that’s dr david Kim BEVERLY HILLS plastic surgery.”

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.
