Happy Birthday, Vanessa Simmons! The hip-hop royalty, entrepreneur and actress, turns 37 today.
Vanessa Simmons was born with a savvy business mentality and style to match. We first came to know the daughter of legendary rapper Rev. Run on the reality TV show, Run’s House. But, she quickly showed us that she is more than hip-hop royalty.
From launching sneaker brand Pastry as a teen to starting a clothing line, she’s always had a passion for fashion. And, when she’s not designing, you catch her acting or staring in her latest reality TV show, Growing Up Hip Hop. She even entered the Miss California USA pageant in 2008. Sis, isn’t afraid to try it all.
And, her style echos the same sentiment. On or off the red carpet, Simmons manages to always look fly. In honor of her birthday, we’re counting down 10 times the mogul shined on the red carpet.
