Kim Kardashian rocked a very early aughts bikini look in her latest Instagram post, and fans can’t get enough!
The SKIMS founder, 42, donned a skimpy, black triangle top and a matching high-waisted, v-shaped bottom piece, showing off her enviable curves and sculpted abs in the process. To top it all off, the SKKN mogul added a shimmering, trendy gold chain around her waist with a cross charm.

The reality star posed for a photoshoot in the sultry get-up and shared the snaps in a photo collection upload for her 347 million followers. The mom of four wore her long black tresses down, parted in the center and styled into loose, beachy waves. She captioned her post, “search for soul.”
As for her makeup look, Kardashian stunned with the help of winged black eyeliner, sky-high lashes, rosy blush and a light pink lipstick color. In her last photo in the post, Kardashian wore a sheer black sarong skirt from SKIMS over her bottom piece and also sported thick, square black sunglasses while posing up a storm.

Kardashian’s two-piece swimsuit is from Seven Swim— specifically the brand’s ‘Mara Top’ and ‘Blaze Bottom’ in black. Her standout gold chain accessory— as eagle-eyed fans pointed out on Instagram— is the ’18KT Yellow Gold & Diamond Cross on Bezel Set Belly Chain’ by XIV Karats.

Fan Reactions To Kardashian’s Risqué, Y2K Swim Look
Naturally, Kardashian’s upload garnered millions of likes and thousands of comments from fans who hyped up her look. “Beyond stunning,” one user wrote as another added, “I need that bikini!” Someone else replied, “and that gold belly chain too!” (We def agree!)
As for Kardashian’s incredible physique, the Kardashians star credits this to frequent workouts and a balanced diet (she often shares glimpses of both of these aspects on her Instagram Story posts). Kardashian certainly made a plethora of headlines last year after dropping a significant number of pounds, and was criticized for “promoting starving oneself” or “acting like losing weight is easy,” as some fans on Twitter put it. She told Vogue that to get Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown on for the Met Gala, she had to go on an extreme diet. This, she noted, required her to eliminate many foods from her daily intake.

She said to the outlet, “I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I said, ‘Give me three weeks.’” She went on, “I had to lose 16 pounds down today. It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks.” Many fans expressed their concerns following this, stressing that “extreme diets are far from healthy,” as another tweeted.
Kardashian addressed this controversy in an Allure interview soon after, saying, “If I was starving and doing it really unhealthy, I would say that, of course, that’s not a good message. But I had a nutritionist, I had a trainer. I have never drunk more water in my life. I don’t see the criticism for other people when they lost weight for roles — they are [considered] geniuses for their craft.” She continued, “There are so many things out there that are so not accurate and not true.”
