Shalayna wrote in with a wardrobe query. Please note, some of these photos might not be safe for work. Now that you’ve been warned….she writes, “Can you please help me find these BOMB neon cut out wedges Draya Michele twitpic’ed?”
“Or the designer? I’ve looked high & low!”
We couldn’t find them, so we tapped stylist Mr. Bradshaw (pictured below with Draya) for the scoop:
He said, “Draya’s shoes are custom. They’re by a brand called XTC & are exclusively made by a store on Melrose called SHOES FOR THE STARS (www.shoesforthestars.com). They retail at $795.” Shoes for the Stars’s website is not yet live, but you can call them at 323-655-2657.
If you want an alternative, XTC shoes has their own website, and carry these $298 6-inch “Dina Multi” wedge sandals with a hollowed out wood platform:
Same design, different colors. Get them here.
I’m not sure where exactly I’d wear the shoes, but they’re kinda cute, no?
If only the original will do, call Shoes for the Stars at 323-655-2657. XTC shoes also custom makes orders. Call them at 323-655-2081.
Hot! or Hmm…?
May 8, 2012 5:23 pm
Uh there alright. And her body shape is soooo funny looking to me like she has no shape. Maybe its just the swimsuit.
May 8, 2012 5:25 pm
Everything about this get-up is Hmmm. Everything.
May 8, 2012 5:28 pm
That shoe looks cheap. And Draya looks classless smh. NEXT!!!
May 8, 2012 5:29 pm
Thank you so much Fashion Bomb Daily !!! I appreciate it !!
May 8, 2012 5:29 pm
That shoes looks cheap, and Draya looks classless smh. NEXT!!!
May 8, 2012 5:43 pm
That bathing suit is a little revealing, but its her body…..
The shoes are different….
May 8, 2012 5:56 pm
Those shoes are so ugly! I’m sorry, but they are! lol!
May 8, 2012 6:18 pm
It’s no different than a two piece… It’s just the way it’s styled that shocks at first. lol She has a nice body.
May 8, 2012 6:24 pm
I do kinda like her shoes but the bathing suit is just OD. You can be sexy without being naked
May 8, 2012 6:42 pm
Hmmm. Stank-a-dank, dank, dank!
May 8, 2012 7:14 pm
Shoes…not cute. Draya…I actually like her, but I agree, stank. And when did she get so skinny?
May 8, 2012 7:39 pm
Gawd I’m so glad I don’t have to sit behind her.
May 8, 2012 7:59 pm
I like Draya, but I hope this outfit is for a photo shoot because she looks very trashy. We might have to send Jackie in for an intervention.
May 8, 2012 8:54 pm
She looks really skinny, it’s distracting.
May 8, 2012 9:10 pm
Please forgive me for this but what is that next to draya?
May 8, 2012 9:34 pm
OMFG!!!!!! F*ck the shoes….look at her amazing body!
May 8, 2012 9:35 pm
We need to send Jackie and Dr Scholes..
May 8, 2012 9:36 pm
when is she ever covered up ? I feel she gets more & more naked every time she takes a photo . Lol
May 8, 2012 9:40 pm
is that a Man or a Woman next to Draya..?? on that note draya is wrong..!! soo very sorry
May 8, 2012 10:04 pm
i mean its one thing being toned, which she is, but she looks literally like a stick figuere…she probably weigh under 100 lbs…maybe @ 100 due to height…and i like the idea of the shoes to wear w/bathing suit around the pool…
May 8, 2012 10:12 pm
u people are sooo delusional! So backward. What is a healthy body is bad and what is sloppy boring and average body you call beautiful. So sad. This is the perfect body……cheeseburger down! PERFECT!!!!!!! Say it…..Draya has the perfect body. She is faaaar from being skinny. This is what people who work out and watch what they eat call….TONED!!!!!! Get a gym membership and get a clue.
May 8, 2012 10:55 pm
Those shoes do look cheap, I love the color of the shoes but not the design
May 8, 2012 11:11 pm
Bronze, calm down. People have different body ideals, get used to it. If people don’t like her body, that’s their prerogative. I’ll say that doesn’t make much sense to criticize a person’s build because we generally don’t have control over that. Draya’s choices are skinny or fat- there is no in between for that girl.
On the shoes and outfit: she’s a cute girl but that outfit is tacky. She looks like she’s about to headline at a strip club.
May 8, 2012 11:41 pm
Shalayna Jessica Simpson also has a similar pair! They retail for like $98 & Steve Madden has a hollow heel called “draagon” that are to die for! Hope this helps as well!
May 9, 2012 12:22 am
I like the shoes… though, I don’t see the difference between the custom and the retail version o_ O
May 9, 2012 12:48 am
Ill take her body.shiz!!!!. Shoes, just ok!
May 9, 2012 12:57 am
@kat…so bronze can’t comment on other people’s comments? confused…. anyway, my OPINION that I am giving is that bronze is CORRECT and honestly, it seems like every time someone is in a lower weight range on this site..they are heavily criticized..that and people are criticized for something…so dumb.
May 9, 2012 1:15 am
@ Rania…
Yep…that is the way it is on the site. If you are fit,skinny,lean,not obese, TONED…..you get called skank, trashy and a sinner. But be so called thick, fat then you are curvy…..’it looks good on you for your shape’. Draya and women like her can wear $ dollah Payless shoes and still look like a millions bucks. I see your FB pics on the margin….If I looked like you I’d be bitter to.
May 9, 2012 1:26 am
So being “fit” and “toned” means being able to see your ribcage? Yeah…ok. Tessa has a point.
You can be thin and fit without having the ribcage showing… I’ve seen Draya that way before. She definitely looks like she’s lost some weight. She looked better before.
May 9, 2012 2:14 am
Chick’s body is smoking, especially after having a child. Just wish she didn’t show it at every available opportunity.
May 9, 2012 7:00 am
I don’t care about that hookerish bathingsuit but i LOVE those earrings! I would totally wear those!
May 9, 2012 9:02 am
I so agree with Bronze, we live in the day in age where most Americans are overweight…..
So anyone who works out, eats healthy, and has a lean physique will be called skinny or anorexic. Draya is not that tall so she doesn’t need to have a massive amount of weight on her petite frame. Also if we were to go around saying people need to lose weight or put the cheeseburger down people would have a mental conniption.
May 9, 2012 9:09 am
Cheap shoes, and woman! Enough Said.
May 9, 2012 10:52 am
I don’t care, bring on the hate, but she looks unnaturally thin. I can see her ribcage and everything. And she needs to cover up, she isn’t that far away from be stark nakkid.
May 9, 2012 10:55 am
@bronze. yeah i’ve dealt with people like that my whole life cuz my mom is naturally very thin (yes you probably can see her rib cage) and she eats but people will make rude ass comments to her that they definitely wouldnt make it those who are overweight. i think it’s just people’s own insecurities.
May 9, 2012 10:56 am
and interesting how in the frontal shot you dont really see her rib cage. LOL.
May 9, 2012 11:23 am
Bronze, I see it too… She has a perfect body! This is what is called tone and lean. She looks like she does Pilates. Nice, no big out of shape ghetto ass squeezed up in this suit. lol I’d have this shape if 90 pounds of fat was included. LOL Some of you act like she is gonna wear this to church or to the mall. She doesn’t have anyone around, groping her or any other “classless” act. Like I’ve said earlier, this is no different than a two piece bikini,the only difference, the sides are joined together,and she looks perfect.
May 9, 2012 12:14 pm
perfect body? where is her body perfect? I’m thin and a gym rat and I don’t find her body to be perfect or a body I would go crazy over. her hips are super small and she has borderline chicken legs. No thanks! Without those breast implants she would walk around just looking like another skinny chick.
May 9, 2012 12:32 pm
it’s a photoshoot for her ‘mintswim’ line…
May 9, 2012 4:32 pm
@Katie…..LMAO!!!!!! Cover UP? Its a Freakin bathing suit! Maybe you should relocate to Iran or Dubai. This is the difference between fashionistas and the rest of you wanna bees… White women would say ohhhh she is sexy. Or …..wow…I like the way she poses. But you Miss Piggies call her a hoe and whorish??? REally? I thought this was a fashion blog? Not a The Devil is a Liar Bull Chit Congregation! But now that article that claims that black womenn LOVE being fat makes sense now. The proof is on this post. I see her ribcage LMAO!!!!! I see your heartattack/stroke and blood sugar going up. Go back 30 years and you will see that black models had this exact same body. This body could be seen in the Ebony Fashion Fair Shows. Would you have yelled…SLUT while she walked down the runway??? No!
Disgusting.
May 9, 2012 5:45 pm
Jeeeezzzz…”Bronze” must be a friend of Draya’s, or probably Draya herself. Someone needs an e-hug lol.
I’m mad her stylist said her shoes were “custom” only for Fashion Bomb to find them on their website for less than half the price he quoted. Get your lies together boo!
May 9, 2012 5:59 pm
@bronze aka Draya… your skinny with breast implants. Live with it. Nobody wants to be skinny or fat.
May 9, 2012 6:30 pm
She has no ass! so sad:( you aint gotta be fat to have a bump in the rump!! lol
May 9, 2012 7:12 pm
No Sade……I have her body minus the boobjob. I accept that women like you, of you ilk…….are what you are. And a billion dollar weight loss industry proves that EVERYONE wants to be skinny.
May 9, 2012 9:12 pm
@rania- she’s free to comment on other people’s comments, I’m free to comment on hers, you’re free to comment on mine.
:-/
May 9, 2012 9:16 pm
the color scheme is fab but the style of the shoe is killing me
May 9, 2012 9:19 pm
p.s. her body is great! no offense but if she wasn’t who she is and she was some eruopean model no one know, people would love her body!
May 9, 2012 9:39 pm
the two pics of the shoes look exactly the same. If the ones from XTC retail at $295, where did the extra $500 come from? Maybe it’s the extra inch in the heel? At any rate, I like the shoes, I just wish they came in a lower heel height. I’m too clumsy to actually rock anything 5″ and above ^_^
May 9, 2012 9:57 pm
Those shoes are NOT worth that price.
May 9, 2012 10:00 pm
The $298 shoes aren’t as bright, but that said, I wouldn’t pay $500 more for some neon colors #wheredeydodatat
May 9, 2012 10:43 pm
@ bronze
They want to be thin, not skinny like a tooth pick or a pole. That is why the best bodies are never skinny! but thin and toned! Sorry you got the bad end of the stick, at least you understand how fat women feel like.
May 9, 2012 10:44 pm
Funny, I could have sworn people did Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc. to lose weight and be healthy, not to look like Draya. Guess I was wrong -_-
May 9, 2012 10:45 pm
I don’t know and care who this chick is, but she needs to take off those ugly ass shoes and gain 15 pounds to even rock that look. God bless her.
May 10, 2012 12:13 am
I’ve actually seen Draya in person. She doesn’t look that skinny because she’s like 5′ 2″, if that. I think it’s just her build. No need to judge.
May 10, 2012 10:09 am
I love those shoes! Young and fun. Nice bod Draya and congrats on your swimsuit line.
