Shaunte Harris aka DaBrat recently got all “Fem’d” up for a photoshoot for VIBE Magazine’s Summer of Celeb’s in Swimwear issue…
No, she’s not overexposed in a cut-out swimsuit or vintage bikini. Instead, she’s donning casual chic summer wear that’s appropriate for all types of summer fun.
In maxi dresses, khaki shorts and an oversized cream-colored blouse, Da Brat rocks a head full of bodaciously brown curls and really exudes a soft, yet sultry demeanor. Appropriate? Most definitely.
I can just hear her PR now… “Girrrrrl if you wanna get ‘em talkin’ WEAR A DRESS!”
Welp… it worked! More photos below…
I love her hair! That’s too cute!! 
How did you feel about the Vibe.com photo shoot?
I absolutely loved it! The stylist Tamara Connor was amazing. Mara Z styled my hair with the help of her assistant Dina as well as my regular hairstylist, Shontelle Sampeur. Mara also did my makeup. Both hair and make-up were great. And I loved the photographer, Alex. I definitely want to do more photo shoots with him because I can tell he is passionate about his work.
Was it uncomfortable transitioning into a “sex symbol” or is this just another side of you that we never see?
I’m such a fucking lady. I loved to get glammed up. I love manis and pedis. I like to go to Vicky Secrets and La Perla because I like lace and bikinis. I’m such a P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thug)
What type of message do you want to portray to women about their bodies.
Be who you are!
What are you doing to stay in shape?
Work out. Working out is like a stress reliever.
What type of clothes do you wear to make you look sexy?
It depends on the look and how I’m feeling that day.
What is your favorite body part?
I don’t have just one. I love all parts of my body! But on a man, I love the Adonis line. It’s just so sexy!
What do you have to say about your new mixtape?
It’s DUMB STUPID CRAZY! It’s HOTTER THAN A MOTHER FUCKER! BRAT IS BACK!
I dunno… Da Brat looks great from the neck up, but she appears kinda uncomfortable in those shoes.
What do you think of this new softer “feminine” side of DaBrat?

Well it’s about #$%$ time!!!
She looked nice.. not sure if it was believable!
Da Brat is the bizness
Love it!!
I know right @yolanda she looks amazing!!!! She has always been pretty to me even with her hard demenor on. But then again, she is related to lisa raye.
this isn’t the first time The brat has shown this side she a beautiful woman and she can rock either way I think her photo’s we’re nice
I LOVE it!
She is a force t be reckoned with.
If she is comfortable with exploring her softer side, I am with that.
With versatility comes maturity
*to
She has always looked better as a girl. She’s beautiful.
LOVE HER! she looks good, either way she is still fine.
She needs more people. We don’ believe you!
can’t take it seriously, but she looks good.
she looks uncomfry
She is a very beautiful woman and this is years in the making. They should have gave her a better
She looks better the other way. She looks very uncomfortable .
Maybe it is real…she saw what some women dress hard experience on the inside and she didn’t like it. So now she’s getting in touch with her feminine self.
can i get a thumbs down???
Yea, she looks like she could do without those shoes, but I was feeling the white top and shorts she rocked, and her hair was bangin’! But she needs to stay true to herself and leave the girlie fits to the others and do her own thang!! Brat tat tat!!!!
I heard that she and Lisa raye are sisters.
She looks great I love it
she looks amazing…much better than the baggy pants hat to the back manly look…
The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse were just spotted in Marietta. Now, we know why. Looks gorgeous in drag, though.
Yes Eloise, they are
What is an "adonis line" and why does Brat care? She looks nice and all but I don’t buy this glamor girl bit and don’t believe for one minute that she finds anything attractive on or about a man.
She looks beautiful.
DaBrat look nice, she is a beautiful lady. Check out her video what you like with Tyreese it hot.
