Lizzo is embracing the hottest swimwear trend as of late: the thongkini. On Sunday, the “Special” singer and Yitty founder shared photos on Instagram from her dreamy beach vacation, where she’s seen on a gorgeous white sand beach and under an outdoor shower. Wearing a vibrant bikini set in summer’s most popular color, a Barbiecore-inspired fuchsia, she posed in striking snaps and reacted to Beyoncé’s Lizzo shoutout on her “Break My Soul” remix with Madonna.
The singer’s ribbed set from Good American consisted of a classic triangle-shaped top and high-cut thong bikini bottoms with delicate ties, all in a comfortable crinkle fabric. Layering the hot-pink suit over Chanel fishnet tights decorated with floral details, a Chanel pearl chain that she wore as a belt, and retro shield sunglasses with pink rims, the result was quite a unique styling approach. Experimenting with fashion isn’t new to Lizzo — recently, she was wrapped head to toe in a Balenciaga caution-tape bodysuit for Elle UK’s September cover.
Originally popular in the ’80s and ’90s, the thongkini has seen a strong resurgence this summer, with celebrities everywhere rocking the revealing, minimal-coverage style. Vanessa Hudgens recently wore a similar, bright pink version from Hunza G on her Italian vacation, Kim Kardashian modeled a new micro style from Skims, and Beyoncé chose one embellished with hundreds of glittering crystals for her “Renaissance” album cover.
Ahead, see Lizzo‘s take on the trend and shop her exact set.
