This summer, there seems to be one specific bathing suit style that dominated not only every day beaches and pools, but more notably, celebrities’ social media pages. That is, the thong-style bikini.
While bikini trends have come and gone, today’s notable stars have been taking the classic swimsuit silhouette to the next level, and embracing two-piece suits with bottoms that look more like a thong, putting even more of their bodies on display. The racy swimsuit style is not only popping up in everyday summer settings, but also among some of the biggest stars in fashion, like trendsetters Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski. Read more about how they styled theirs below.
Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
Dua Lipa
The pop singer has been enjoying a fascinating summer this year, celebrating her exciting engagement with fiancé Callum Turner, performing massive concerts in iconic venues like Wembley, and, as many of her social media followers have noticed, going on fabulous vacations. She's been traveling all over, going to oceanside destinations and spending many summer afternoons on boats, where she's repped the thong bikini trend.
One of her most unique suits was one she wore on a trip to Spain, where she was photographed by paparazzi impressively doing yoga poses on a paddleboard. Dua's suit looked like two bikinis layered on top of one another, with the top layer being a rusty, dark orange color and the bottom being a pale blue. They were made out of the same material and complemented each other quite well.
Dua's bikini was quite string-based, covering her in just the right places while allowing her to show off her super-toned body. It was a fun twist on the trending bikini style, and we wouldn't be surprised if layered suits start to pop up more often.
Emily Ratajkowski
Famous model and actress 'Emrata' is known for always being down to pose in some sultry bathing suits, with her social media pages being full of bikini snaps. She's seemingly a big fan of the thong bikini trend, judging by her summer Instagram post, and has been wearing them in all sorts of different styles. She's even thrown on a few thong-styled one-piece bathing suits!
However, in one of her latest Instagram posts from her trip to Italy, she wore a classic, leopard print bikini with thong bottoms that was perfect for a summer vacation. Leopard print is classic, and you can't go wrong with it if you're trying to spice up your wardrobe a little bit. It's exciting enough yet also simple and versatile enough so that you can pair it with other accessories.
In the mom-of-one's case, she decided to casually pair her suit with a baseball cap while enjoying her villa. Still, with this fun bathing suit, the accessorizing opportunities are endless.
Which of these two fashion icons do you think wore the string thong-bikini trend best?
