Ming Lee Simmons gave a preppy Y2K-inspired ensemble an edgy boost while attending Area’s spring 2023 during New York Fashion Week on Feb. 11. For its latest collection, the brand explored the beauty of fruits and their symbolic meaning of arts and pop culture.
The eldest daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons arrived at the high-fashion affair wearing a cropped black tube top. Ming teamed the lightweight separate with Area’s crystal slit trousers. The houndstooth bottoms featured side slant pockets, back slit cutouts with crystal accents and a hook and bar closure.

To place more emphasis on her look, the model simply accessorized with a thin choker necklace and a collection of bracelets. Ming parted her hair in the middle and styled it bone straight. For glam, she went with soft makeup and a glossy pout.
Finishing the media personality’s look was a set of black chunky heels. The shoe style had a thick pointed-toe and sat atop a stacked heel.
