Ming Lee Is One Of The Most Stunning Celeb Daughters In Hollywood
Fans have enjoyed a front-row seat to Ming Lee Simmons' evolution into a stunning protégé of her superstar parents, Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons. From the countless runways she walked as a child to starring alongside her supermodel mom in three reality shows and helping revive the Baby Phat brand, Ming has made growing up in the public eye look good.
With standout features and a natural flair for fashion and modeling, Ming has quickly climbed up the influencer ladder. Her glowing skin radiates on the red carpet, a testament to how she prefers to go makeup-free as much as possible. "I actually don't do makeup [every day] — I can't lay around in makeup, and I like to be cozy at all times," she told Vogue in 2023. The NYU grad embraced her natural beauty early on, as her mom prevented her and her sister from wearing makeup or straightening their hair. "[She] wanted us to love our natural selves," she shared.
Though Ming and Kimora aren't among the mother-daughter duos in Hollywood with matching tattoos, their resemblance is striking, with Ming often referred to as a look-alike of the fashion star. It's a compliment Ming likely doesn't mind, as she often gives credit to her mom for instilling humility in her children. "My mom really does keep me grounded," Ming told Hypebae Beauty in June 2023. "She's always hammered the value of a dollar into all of us, and she's done an amazing job of supporting us while also doing her best to make us aware of our privilege."
Ming Lee is carving her own lane in the beauty industry
As a model and entrepreneur, Ming Lee Simmons is not just carrying on a legacy — she's carving out a lane of her own with her solo business endeavor, Boulangerie Beauty. Launched in November 2025, the bodycare brand taps into the model's natural passion for pleasing scents and hydrating skincare. Considering that vanilla perfume is so adored by consumers and perfumers, Ming is entering into a highly profitable industry with loyal enthusiasts. "Bodycare is something that I'm really passionate about," she told People. "We should be taking care of our skin," she noted, adding, "and wanting to smell good. I attribute smelling really good to being sexy and confident."
While Ming prefers not to do her makeup every day, the fashionista credits YouTube with teaching her everything she knows about glam. "Also, me and my best friends like to sit around and do makeup when we're going nowhere," she told Vogue. When sharing her own beauty routine, Ming detailed how she starts off with SPF and moisturizer to combat her acne. "If you have acne, you just want to keep it hydrated so it can heal," she explained. She's likely aware of common acne triggers and how to avoid them. She also opened up about using makeup to conceal the cystic acne breakouts she gets from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). "I also had to learn to not do makeup and just be okay with it because nobody has perfect skin," she explained. "Everybody struggles with acne." Between her stunning beauty, influencer lifestyle, and entrepreneurial savvy, Ming is poised to make waves in the booming bodycare industry by bringing passion, authenticity, and relatability to her brand.
