I haven’t worn a ruffle bikini since I think I was about 4–but now Olivia Culpo, Dev Windsor and others are making me rethink that decision.

Culpo just wore the Carine top ($95) from fellow model Devon Windsor’s swim line (to promote her own sunnies collab with Prive Revaux, of course) on July 17th:

On the exact same day, Dev herself posted a gallery of pics of the suit. We couldn’t even BEGIN to play the “Who wore it better?” game here.

Cute right? We rest our case! Shop more ruffled perfection from Devon Windsor Swim now:
