We Never Thought We’d See Puff-Sleeve Bikinis Like This--But Now It’s A Huge Trend!

Summer ’21 is all about the bikini.

And no, we’re not talking about just any bikini! Thus far, we’ve seen the return of the upside-down bikini (thanks to the Kardashian ladies), Lady Gaga’s iconic star-shaped two piece, and more teeny-tiny thong bottoms than we can count. But this newest trend truly takes the cake!

Dua Lipa isn’t afraid to put herself out there for the sake of fashion, and her latest choice in swimwear is making us do a double take. Keep scrolling for her version of the puff-sleeve bikini (and your daily dose of summer inspo)!

A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa)

While vacationing in Ibiza, Dua Lipa shared a gallery of snaps to Instagram that showed her lounging in a deep blue bikini with puff sleeves. The suit-which flaunted her toned abs and arms-has us “Levitating” with awe. Dua looks better than ever!

Though the bikini was giving us serious Disney Princess vibes, the singer’s bling was all 2000s: bold tinted sunnies, candy-colored rings and a little bit of glitz n’ glam, courtesy of the suit’s rhinestone detailing.

As well as the puff sleeves, the Grammy winner's suit featured another trend with its off-the-shoulder style. It's truly the bikini that keeps on giving-and now we want a version of our own!

 

Dua's set is by Alessandra Rich, and even though it's currently out of stock, you can still score a puff-sleeve option from sites like Revolve.

"BEEEEEFA," the "New Rules" star captioned her carousel of images, which received over 3 million likes. OK, talk about making a splash! Fans gushed over the whole vibe, calling the pop star "gorgeous" and "SO HOT."

 

The series of pics also gave us an inside look at Dua's luxe Ibiza getaway, but TBH, it's the puff-sleeve bikini that has our heart.

The puff sleeve trend might be new on the bikini scene, but we've seen this style on spring runways, as well as modeled by the likes of Kendall Jenner and Olivia Culpo. In fact, the former "Miss Universe" was recently vacationing in Greece, where she stepped out in a dramatic high-slit skirt, complete with a matching puff-sleeve top.

 

Take your fashion cues from these ladies of summer '21. We have a feeling the puff-sleeve trend isn't going anywhere soon.
