Angela Simmons is securing the bag – without her pants. The "Growing Up Hip-Hop" star whose latest venture sees her dropping Simmons Beauty hasn't abandoned her side-gig as a Fashion Nova partner – Angela, 32, joins the army of celebrities influencing for the affordable clothing giant, with her mid-week updates dedicated to honoring her partner status. The photos come amid a slew of stunning bikini photos and videos showing the daughter to rapper Run Rev's #BuiltNotBought body. Scroll for her best photos.

Angela didn't make it onto Revelist's "25 times celebs wore Fashion Nova for a paycheck" list, but she joins the likes of Kylie Jenner, Jordyn Woods, Chanel West Coast, and queen bee Cardi B fronting the label – the "Money Bag" rapper's collections with the affordable clothing giant sold out "in hours" back in 2018. Angela's Wenesday photos showed her looking drop-dead gorgeous with seemingly zero effort as she posed on a daylit balcony and wearing nothing but a neon red-and-yellow mesh shirt. It 100% worked.

And those comments may well reflect in sales of Angela's newly-dropped Simmons Beauty brand. The star, likely makeup-free as she was photographed candidly with her gym-honed legs on show as much as her flawless beauty, was seen smiling with her hair blowing in the wind. A caption read: "All smile ? @fashionnova FashionNovaPartner." Angela, followed by 6.3 million on Instagram, not only clocked herself over 65,000 likes, she had half the comments section losing it over her skin. Scroll for how much she might have gotten paid.

Angela's post blurred the line between promo and simple brand shout-out. No #ad was used, but stars with a partner status regularly dropping brand mentions are largely assumed to be receiving some kind of compensation for their services. Experts at Vox broke down the potential pay. "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!" Angela also packs a real punch in a bikini, but it's her raw reveals that move fans. More below.

Angela fronted media outlets on April 30 for a stripped-down bikini post seeing her get honest about her body-image issues. Bare-faced and in mismatched swimwear, Angela wrote: “She’s not perfect , her weight fluctuates, she has her days when she’s not sure … she doesn’t have a 6 pack,” with the Purpose App founder also using her #BuiltNotBought hashtag. Angela refused to apologize for herself, adding: "Love your body,” acknowledging that “it’s not easy….You are worth it. You don’t have to be what anyone (society) tells you to be."
