Body by LaRen on Love and Hip Hop

Since the brand started in 2018, celebrities and influencers discovered them quickly. On their website, you will find the "As seen on" section and there, pictures of everyone seen in Body by LaRen. You can notice that they are popular among the stars of Love and Hip Hop.

The younger sister of Cardi B, Hennessy Carolina, star of Love and Hip Hop from Season 7 and 8, wearing a neon green dress from the LaRen Fall 2019 collection to New York Fashion Week. She shared the picture with her more than six million followers on Instagram.

The third Body by LaRen fan on the show is Shay Johnson, who stunned her one million followers on Instagram with a beautiful picture of her in their turban.

Body by LaRen on the Wendy Williams Show

The biggest shout out yet came from the Wendy Williams Show. Just one day before Body by LaRen presented the apparel, rapper Trina wore a piece from the new collection. The BBL Print Turban Head Turner that she picked made her look amazing.
