Draya Michele's killer curves are back on the 'Gram. The 35-year-old reality star and Mint Swim founder has mostly been making headlines this month for showing off her mind-blowing bikini body as she reminds Instagram that her Kylie Jenner-approved swimwear brand is alive and well – the "Basketball Wives LA" alum watched the $12,000 she saved up for the company's 2011 launch turn into a $1 million company in 2017.
While Draya covered up to deliver Chipotle burritos to L.A. healthcare workers on April 13, her latest post proved far more revealing.

Draya's post offered a double-whammy of snaps. The ex to Orlando Scandrick had been photographed in her L.A. home, seen leaning forward as she kneeled on a living room couch for a revealing, but very fashion-forward finish. A skin-tight, strappy, and tiny white dress in semi-sheer fabrics was flaunting Draya's killer cleavage as she offered a revealing chest view – Draya also rocked edgy pink-rimmed shades as she posed barefoot.
A quick swipe to the right showed off the star's ultra-toned and curvy rear, with a spicy caption reading: "I just wanna lay out and have juice from exotic fruits drip from my chin ???

Draya had also showcased the dress via her stories, offering a cheeky close-up as she wrote: "Love when the dress fits tight. @fashionnova swipe up."
Racking up over 75,000 in just 30 minutes, the post brought in a massive response, plus a like from rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Former "Real Housewives of Miami" star and ex to NBA icon Scottie Pippen, Larsa Pippen also threw Draya the thumbs-up.
"I wish I was the couch," one fan wrote.
"Okay Dray" was another comment, with one user also writing: "Tag the shades sis."

Draya's post today wasn't a full-blown ad. Nonetheless, it did see the star influencing in the traditional Instagram manner – other Fashion Nova influencers include rapper Chanel West Coast, plus model Blac Chyna. Pay on Instagram correlates with following, per Vox's experts.
"Influencers with up to 1 million followers can get $10,000 [per post], depending on the platform, and 1 million followers and up, you’re getting into territory where they can charge $100,000. Some can even get $250,000 for a post!"
Draya has 8 million Instagram followers.

Draya may flog her merch while sunbathing on Funboy pool floaters, but the star's Mint Swim brand has been giving back amid COVID-19.
"I was going back and forth about things I can do to help out the healthcare and hospital staff. Thankfully, when I asked chipotle for help bringing lunch to the hospital staff nearby... THEY WERE TOTALLY DOWN!!!" she captioned her masked delivery photo, adding:
"Then, @doordash caught wind of what we were doing and decided to hop in last minute and DOUBLE THE ORDER ... so many burritos ? ? ... just a small token of appreciation to the medical staff giving their all during this on behalf of my brand @mintswimusa ... thank you to everyone out their doing their part in this and keeping in mind that we are in this together.
