Bikini history: 1946 design still popular nearly 80 years later

The modern backless bikini, though adorned with a tie or a unique charm, is almost identical to the creation of the first daring official two-piece set in the 1940s, which put men and women off it for about two decades due to its lack of conservatism.

On July 5, 1946, 18-year-old French exotic dancer Micheline Bernardini brazenly donned nature's first black-and-white bikini during a press conference at a public swimming pool in Paris.

Louis Raiard, a renowned French mathematician turned clothing designer, has been combining women's bikini designs for nearly 80 years in an attempt to attract attention. He hoped that bikinis with newspaper clippings would cause shock and awe like the atomic bomb in 1945. Bernardini's photographs that appeared on the front pages of newspapers did just that.

Réard hired Bernardini to strut before the camera in his thong and triangle top designs, while professional runway models refused to wear the barely-there swimsuit.

Bernardini received about 50,000 letters from fans, mostly men, following media coverage of the ordeal, according to History.com.

The largely fabric-free design was labeled “Bikini” by Reard after a nuclear warhead test on the tiny island of Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier that week.

Although adoration for Bernardini grew quickly for the 30-inch cotton and jersey, Réard's designs struggled to strike a chord with American wearers until the 1960s. In the 1950s, European women began wearing skimpy bikinis, although Spain and Italy banned the suit style on public beaches in the early 1950s.

There was some shortage of swimsuits due to material rationing during World War II.

World War II put a heavy burden on supply rationing in the United States and Britain, and restrictions were placed on items such as food, shoes, and clothing, among other supplies, for preservation.

To purchase rationed items, people had to pay for both food and materials and pay “points” at the time of purchase. People with children were given points in the form of blue and red stamps for various selected items.

If an item is easily accessible but rationed, it costs less than an item in high demand. In 1943, a pound of bacon cost 30 cents and 7 points, according to the National World War II Museum.

In terms of clothing, Britain rationed fabric in 1941. According to the Imperial War Museum website, a woman's dress cost 11 points and a man's shirt required 8 points.

The length of men's shirts was restricted, and double cuffs on collared shirts were completely banned. In addition, the price of clothing and cloth was limited. Some textiles, including silk, were completely out of reach for designers and manufacturers.

At the time, women's fashion was not a priority and the selection of clothing for women was sparse. Since civilians were in the fashion business, they worked with what was available and affordable.

As the British and American governments continued their efforts to conserve for their nations, designers like Réard developed design and marketing strategies to appeal to the public and used raw materials and resources like cotton to create stylish garments that still met rationing requirements, thus the bikini

When World War II ended, so did the rationing program, but the bikini remained.

Although Réard provided the nomenclature, the bikini drama, and Bernardini's audience, his design was not the first two-piece swimsuit available to bathers, although it was the first to cut below the navel.

In 1946, fashion designer Jacques Heim, a rival of Riard, introduced what he called “the smallest bathing suit in the world” and named it after its size. However, his first designs were published in the 1930s.

According to the Museum of the Jewish People, Heim hoped to create the same level of excitement around Bitsy's beachwear as the detonation of an atomic bomb.

Although women have been appearing in bikinis poolside for nearly eight decades, the swimsuit remains a bright, attention-grabbing summer accessory.

Julianne Hough Shows Off Bikini Body During Family Vacation in Cabo

Julianne Hough, who just returned from vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was spotted rocking a bright tie-dye patterned bikini, sunglasses and a hat while soaking up the sun during the trip.

The star, 27, who is engaged to hockey player Brooks Laich, enjoyed some girl time by the beach with her mom and sisters, and the women took social media by storm with their sweet snapshots.

"Sissy and momma bonding time!!!!" Hough captioned an adorable selfie a few days ago of them all piled into a car, wearing hats and sunnies.

In another shot, the women struck yoga poses in the pool: "#sissysquad #plusmom," the Grease: Live star wrote.

The actress is obviously close with her crew, especially Mom: In another sweet post, Hough and her mother can't seem to stop laughing while lying together in the sand.

On Thursday, the star posted a picture of herself showing off her incredible bikini body (and flexibility!) doing yoga: "Namaste here in cabo!" she wrote.

And while the new season of Dancing with the Stars is set to premiere Monday, Hough recently revealed to PEOPLE exclusively that she won't be returning as a judge after participating on the panel for the last three seasons."I will miss being on the panel for season 22, but have a lot of exciting stuff coming that I look forward to sharing," the former DWTS champion said. "The pro dancers, producers and crew at DWTS will always be my family."But it's not goodbye forever!"I promise it's not the last you'll see of me in the ballroom," Hough added.

Vogue Williams flaunts her washboard abs in a bikini

She is known for her dedication to health and fitness and even runs her own fitness app Flexy.

And Vogue Williams showed off her incredible physique and washboard abs in a skimpy pink bikini a recent Instagram post.

Promoting her new gradual tan with her own brand Bare by Vogue, the presenter, 38, demonstrated how to apply the product as she wowed in the two piece.

Using the product, Vogue rubbed the products onto her legs as she gushed: 'I couldn't be more thrilled that we finally have our tinted gradual tan. This stuff is amazing'.

Aside from her busy work and family life, Vogue always makes time to train and frequently shares her workouts with her followers to help them target specific areas.

The majority of Vogue's workout are rather simple, and can be done at home with just a yoga mat and some resistance bands.

She also incorporates one day of barbell training into her routine each week as she shared a clip practicing weighted back squats and glute raises with the barbell.

Vogue's husband Spencer Matthews is also incredibly dedicated to his fitness routine after he turned his life around following an unhealthy period with alcohol during his time on Made In Chelsea.

Last month Vogue revealed she would have left her husband if he failed to ditch alcohol as she discussed his 'unhealthy' relationship with booze.

The pair married in 2018 and share three children together, Theo, five, Gigi, three, and Otto, two.

Speaking on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, the mother-of-three confessed that she would have broken off her relationship with Spencer, 35, if he carried on drinking the way he did previously.

She revealed: 'I think the way he was drinking yeah definitely. Because with my dad and stuff like although he was a heavy drinker, he wasn't a drinker.

'He wouldn't wake up in the morning and drink, but I'd know where he was at five o'clock at night, he'd always be in the pub every single day without fail.'

Grace Boor looks amazing in a bikini don’t you agree

Grace Boor may have posed solo as she thrilled her Instagram followers in bikini mode in April, but there was an invite in her caption. The model and social media star dropped both photos and videos as she enjoyed a luxurious yacht outing in the sun, stripping down to a micro bikini while showing off her jaw-dropping curves. Getting soaking wet as she took in spray from a shower on the boat, Grace made it wet 'n wild for her 3.2 million followers, and it looks like the post was well received.

Cranking up the heat with her killer curves on display, Grace sizzled with a booty flash as she opened her gallery smiling and making the most of her thong bikini. Posing in profile and with the shower spray falling just behind her, she kept dry for the first snap, but things were about to change.

The bikini bombshell, happy to show a close-up of her chest, drove fans over the edge in the third photo, one seeing her ample bosom shoved toward the camera with that shower spray still falling. All sunkissed as she showed off her fit figure, Grace Boor also included a snap of the small, swanky yacht before returning in video mode as she tousled her long locks.

"I dare you to hop in," she wrote, tagging herself in Miami, FL. "Heartbreaker," one fan replied. "Very beautiful lady," another wrote. Grace even snagged herself a like from fellow swimwear face, Hannah Palmer.

Showing off her fierce cleavage and taut abs in her printed halterneck bikini, Grace nearly spilled out of her teeny tiny top as she gazed to the side in the next photo, letting some of the spray kiss her skin.

Grace Boor definitely knows how to work a caption. In these photos, the bombshell posed on the hood of a baby blue sports car, stripping down to a blue bikini as she made mouths water. Showcasing her sensational figure, the stunner wrote: "First I drop my top."

Grace may be enjoying Instagram fame, but she's got her eye on acting. "I would love to do some acting like the fun roles that Kate Upton did or a new Baywatch show. I feel like I would have so much fun in those types of roles. I just need to start up some acting classes," she told The Teen Magazine in 2022.

Enjoying a white-sand beach and tiki hut in these photos, Grace took a leaf out of singer Dua Lipa's books as she chose a micro crochet bikini. "From my camera roll to yours," she wrote.

Emilia Clarke shows off her amazing body in a bikini while vacationing

Emilia Clarke is soaking up the sun in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Game of Thrones alum shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing with her family. "New life who dis? Turns out the South of France is where I will be living out the rest of my days… merci pour mes meilleures vacances à ce jour!" she captioned the post.

Emilia starts her morning with yoga. "The morning time is for me to try and calm my brain down," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I do yoga every morning for 15 minutes. I meditate, then I get to my beauty care. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

"During lockdown I saw my trainer online, and we do a mix of stuff," she told Vogue UK. "I've tried every exercise under the sun – I am not a HIIT girl and don't try and make me run. I want to do things that stretch me out as much as possible – light weights and a little bit of body weight stuff make me feel strong and aligned, but not like a 'she-Hulk'. What we do is make sure everything is in the right place and my back is straight, as that's when I feel strong and good. I also walk everywhere."

"[Recently] I've been meditating before going to sleep," she added to Vogue. "I use the Calm app, it's so good and sometimes when I'm desperate I use the Sleep Stories [on the app]. They really work, and apparently all it takes is a story about a train to send me to sleep!" "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations

Building skills to manage your stress

Increasing self-awareness

Focusing on the present

Reducing negative emotions

Increasing imagination and creativity

Increasing patience and tolerance

Lowering resting heart rate

Lowering resting blood pressure

Improving sleep quality

Clarke trains with James Duigan, who put her on his "Lean and Clean" diet, which involves eating zero processed foods. "Becoming Clean and Lean is achievable for everyone and is more like an education on how to be healthy on our own rather than always following a strict regime," Duigan says. "This is about changing habits and understanding what you eat and how it affects your body – soon this will become second nature."

To get in shape for Terminator Genisys, Emilia told People that she had to change her diet and workout routine. Upping her protein intake and cutting out sugar helped fuel her body, and "it was really fun to do different kinds of training than what I would do myself and feel strong," says Clarke. But even so, "[when you finish], you're like, 'Please, can I have cake? Like, a chocolate cake, and a beer?'"

Winnie Harlow wows fans with bikini photos

Winnie Harlow looks radiant in her most recent social media pictures.

On Tuesday, the model shared several sun-kissed and makeup-free photos with her 8.4 million Instagram followers. Harlow glowed as she posed in her tye-dye bikini giving fans summer vibes in November.

“No makeup, Turn it up,” she captioned one of the posts.

Fans took to the comments to make it known that they could not get enough of Harlow’s bare face.

“Oh I see you’re giving It to them like THAT!” one fan praised. “You look so beautiful OMG,” someone wrote. “GIRL you got the heat allll the way up this morninggg,” another person said. “U don't need make up,” a user declared.

Harlow shared several other photos seemingly from the same shoot. One of the posts included shots with her boyfriend, NBA player Kyle Kuzma.

The America’s Next Top Model alum has always been a spokesperson for confidence. During an interview with the National Post in 2016, Harlow made it clear that she does not care what other people think about how she looks.

“I knew from growing up that people would have their opinions, I really just didn’t care,” she said. “I literally just grasped my beauty and put it on display even though others would have their say, I decided to make my statement first...But I think making your opinion more important to you than others’ opinions are to you, that’s the most important thing — I don’t care if you think I’m beautiful, I think I’m beautiful.”

During the interview, Harlow, who has vitiligo, also noted that she is aware that she has inspired others with her success, but she clarified that she does not see herself as a “role model.”

“For me and for Google, role model is defined by someone who you emulate and copy pretty much, and I wouldn’t want anyone to copy me and I don’t want to copy anyone else, but I do draw loads of inspiration from everyone around me and I enjoy people getting inspiration from me,” she added.

Tennis Star Genie Bouchard is looking great in a Bikini

Professional tennis star Eugenie Bouchard went viral after she posted photos on Instagram showing her doing yard work in a green bikini.

“Sundays are for yard work,” she captioned one of the photos, which showed her standing in the yard wearing the bikini and cooling herself off with a hose.

The Blast called Bouchard a “celebrated Canadian tennis sensation” who is “Known for her powerful serves and dynamic court presence.” Bouchard made it to the finals of Wimbledon in 2014, according to Wimbledon.com, the highlight of her tennis career.

One of the green bikini photos posted by Bouchard to her Instagram page shows her standing outside by a fence. She captioned it only with a green heart emoji. The comments were flattering. “Perfect,” wrote one person. “Beautiful,” wrote another.

The photo with the hose also garnered positive comments. “Stunning girl!!!???” wrote one person. “My favorite post EVER,” another person wrote.

It’s not the first time she posted a swimsuit selfie on her Instagram page.

Bouchard’s page says she lives in Miami, Florida. Other recent photos showed her dressed up in Las Vegas, Nevada, and playing tennis.

Bouchard spoke about her sex appeal in an interview on YouTube with Valeria Lipovetsky.

“Tennis, first of all, is a great sport for that sex appeal side,” Bouchard told Lipovetsky in the interview. “We’re wearing short skirts, we’re wearing tank tops. It’s fun to turn on the TV and watch that. Right away I was able to get great marketing deals off the court, being asked to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition a few times.“

‘One thing that has always kept me going is my passion for tennis. The passion I developed when I first started playing has helped me through the tough moments of my career,” Bouchard wrote on Instagram.

Lindsey Vonn Shows Off Sunkissed Bikini Body She's 'Proud Of'

Lindsey Vonn said that you can "judge her," but she didn't care as she stunned her Instagram followers with swimwear snaps in March 2021. The Olympian put her jaw-dropping muscles on display for beach-set photos that Spring, sizzling in a skimpy yellow swimsuit and reminding everyone that she's maintained her physique since retiring. Flaunting her shredded abs and killer curves while tagging herself at "Somewhere sunny," Lindsey earned over 200,000 fan likes, also gaining a celebrity like from model Ashley Graham.

Standing on natural rocks and backed by crashing ocean waves, Lindsey turned heads in a sporty, triangle bralette and tiny briefs as she rocked a bold shade of summery yellow. Popping with her golden tan, the retired skier drew the eye from her gym-honed shoulders to her fierce cleavage, showing off a six-pack set of abs as she wore her signature blonde locks down.

Gazing downward a little behind a pair of shades in her first photo, Lindsey flashed some cheek in the next snap, this time offering a cheeky rear view as she showed off her thong bottoms and steely-strong legs. The 39-year-old then posed both solo and with friends for the remainder of her photos, tagging the YNIQ eyewear brand she boasts collabs with before delivering an empowering caption.

"You can judge me if you want, but I’ve been working hard in the gym and taking care of me.... so I’m going to post some bikini pics because I’m proud of myself," the blonde wrote, adding a muscle and smiley-face emoji. "You make any bikini look great," one fan quickly replied.

Lindsey Vonn had, in October 2020, made headlines for the above photo, showing off her toned figure in a cheeky red bikini as she reflected on what life's thrown her.

Confirming that she hadn't edited her images as she celebrated turning another year older, the ex to Tiger Woods wrote: "When I look in front of me sometimes I can’t believe how far I’ve come. Who knew ski racing and surgeries could bring me here. Thankful for everything I have; my love @subbanator, my family and my friends. Don’t forget to appreciate life because it’s short. Cheers to today!"

It's no pain, no gain for Lindsey, who has suffered extensive injuries over the years and undergone surgeries.

This gym selfie showed the star in a skimpy matching set as she hit pause on pumping iron for a quick workout selfie. Lindsey Vonn has a reported $14 million net worth.

Gal Gadot showed off her super-fit swimsuit body

GalGadot/InstagramGal Gadot has now gained over 2.3 million likes for jaw-dropping swimwear snaps on her Instagram. All sunkissed as she relaxed poolside and showed off her super-fit swimsuit body, the Israeli actress reminded fans why she was cast in superhero movie Wonder Woman, and more than one fan mentioned her status as "Wonder Women" as they reacted. At the time of the photos, Gal was 37 years old and a mom of three. In 2024, the A-lister welcomed her fourth child.

Sipping away from a coffee cup as she enjoyed a sunny poolside terrace, Gal stunned in a tiny copper bikini in satin fabrics. Going a little sporty with triangle cups and white accents on the straps, the Hollywood star drew the eye from her trim shoulders and discreet curve show to her rippling abs and long legs. Gal, who is 5'10'', also kept things fun with hoop cut-outs on her low-rise bottoms, folding her legs as she sat on a white towel.

Showing off more of her figure in a swipe right, Gal Gadot smiled while dipping a toe in the water. This time sitting in profile, the DC star hinted at her motherhood — beady-eyed fans likely spotted a small child's hand just about visible in the camera's frame. Going goddess-like in her final slide, the Justice League actress threw her head back to worship the sun, once again showing off those rock-hard abs. Gal had also gone makeup-free, wearing her brunette locks in a messy, unfussy bun.

A sunshine emoji was the only caption. Alongside the fan likes, Gal earned celebrity ones from media personality Chrissy Teigen, plus actress Blake Lively.

The Daily Mail's users were also impressed as the newspaper covered Gal's photos. "She looks like that after 3 kids? She IS Wonder Woman!" a popular reply read. Appearing a little envious and possibly right about Gal having good genes, another said: "She looks amazing but please please let's give a round of applause for genetics. Some of us will never look like they no matter how hard we try."

Gal has opened up about her nutrition. For her, it's all about balance.

"Since I’m from the Middle East, I’m very much all about the Mediterranean diet," she told Good Housekeeping. "I look at food as fuel, and I want to give the best to my body so I try to eat healthy on most days. I love all different kinds of fish, but my latest obsession is Chilean sea bass. I also like chicken and filet steak," she added.

With her reported $40 million net worth, Gal Gadot can likely afford all the steak in the world.

Sydney Sweeney shows off her jaw-dropping curves

They say if you’ve got it, flaunt it - and Sydney Sweeney is certainly doing just that.

Earlier this week, the Hollywood star was snapped showing off her jaw-dropping curves in a floral thong bikini while enjoying an action-packed day at the beach.

The 26-year-old actress was seen doing a spot of jet-skiing, before being pulled along with a friend on the back of a giant yellow inflatable close to her new £10.6million mansion in Key West, in Florida.

While the weather might be a bit of a washout here in the UK, celebs have definitely got their summer wardrobes sorted.

And when it comes to picking swimwear, there are definitely distinct tribes in the showbiz world.

And when it comes to picking swimwear, there are definitely distinct tribes in the showbiz world.

Model Abbey Clancy, 38, is also a fan of the “less is more” bikini look, with the star wearing a stunning two-piece while enjoying a recent holiday in Sicily with husband Peter Crouch, 43, as the loved-up pair celebrated 13 years of marriage.

Mum-of-four Abbey captioned her photos: "The best few days!" but her fans were obsessed with her bum. Lisa Snowdon replied: "The bum!" as another fan said: "Cute bum."

If you are in the market for new beachwear this summer, there is a style every celebrity seems to be wearing - a plunging one-piece.

And celebs appear to be in competition to see who can be the one to have the most low-cut swimming costume.

Kate also shared a photo alongside her husband Rio, 45, as they shared a hug while posing on the stpes of a cabin.

Kate sported a dark crop top and jeans while former footballer Rio opted for a white jumper and light trousers.

The couple are parents to Cree, three, and Shae who turns one next month. Kate is stepmother to Rio's children Lorenz, 18, Tate, 15 and Tia, 13.

In another snap, Kate looked incredible in a white sleeveless top and a black mini skirt as she pushed Shae in her buggy.

It comes after Rio made sure his eldest son Lorenz celebrated turning 18 in style as he threw him a lavish birthday bash last weekend.

Clips taken 'before the madness' of the evening showed that Lorenz was treated to a night of flowing cocktails and music surrounded by his friends and family.

The young footballer's name appeared all over the venue, in the form of cocktail toppers, personalised sunglasses, t-shirts and photo backdrops.

Rio, 45, was seen having a great time dancing the night, and the family posed for adorable pictures together throughout the evening.

In one video, Lorenz could be seen sipping on a boozy beverage while in another he stood for snaps with a group of friends.

Kate, who looked stunning in a peplum white strapless top and a midi skirt, showed how sweet the bond is between herself and her step children.

Dotted around the venue were pictures of Lorenz, including one of him and Kate while she was pregnant.

Kate was seen getting a picture at the party with the birthday boy, as well as cuddling her stepdaughter Tia, 14.

While in another video she danced with her son Cree, three, who was sporting a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

In another sweet video, Rio was seen dancing away before pulling his wife in for a hug.

The party venue was decorated with balloons and had a huge light-up 18 sign in the corner of the dancefloor.

Amine Özil shows off her amazing body

Amine Özil is heating up social media – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the former beauty queen-turned-model/actress shows off her amazing body and flat abs in a two-piece Alo ensemble. "Feeling the summer heat," Mesut Özil's wife captioned the Instagram post.

Amine fights for her hot body by boxing. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

Amine is an equestrian and regularly rides horses. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

Amine enjoys doing yoga – with friends. "Partner Challenge ????," she captioned a post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

Amine gets her steps in by walking her dogs. "Having fun," she captioned this post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Amine also shared a video of herself working out in the same Alo look. In it, she does a variety of strength training exercises including cable pulls, single arm kettlebell swings, and weighted crunch twists. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills

Larsa Pippen showed off her stunning figure

Larsa Pippen had fans thirsting over her as she showed off her stunning figure in swimwear while sunbathing in 2021. Posting to Instagram in July of that year, the 49-year-old topped up her tan while earning herself some influencer cash, and fans didn't even seem to notice the caption. Flaunting her phenomenal silhouette in a stylish satin bikini with the tiniest G-string briefs, Larsa thrilled her 5.6 million followers, shouting out the Oh Polly brand she was signed to and likely walking away from the post richer. Larsa has since left Oh Polly and even ditched Pretty Little Thing as she fronts rival brand Fashion Nova.

Leaning back as she bronzed her body from cream leather seating likely forming part of a yacht, Larsa soaked up rays as she reminded her fans that she likes it high-end.

Sizzling in a Fuschia-pink bikini with a halterneck top and super-thin straps, The Real Housewives of Miami star planted one palm behind her, showing off her cleavage and trim abs while drawing the eye to her curvy hips. Flashing her tan legs as she sat barefoot and modeled a diamond anklet from her Larsa Marie jewelry range, Larsa Pippen made sure to also shout out her 2020-founded brand, although only Oh Polly got a mention in the caption.

Wearing Versace shades as she sported her blonde locks down and placed one hand near her shoulder, Larsa nailed the glam bombshell vibe, writing: "Love this fuchsia bikini, it’s everything @ohpolly."

Fans went wild. While one mentioned Larsa's "gorgeous skin and outstanding legs," another wrote: "That color is perfect on your perfect body." A third, meanwhile, called the ex to NBA icon Scottie Pippen "unbelievably fine."

In April, Larsa shared the above photo as she eyed up warmer months. Stripping down to a metallic string bikini in silver, the mom of four flaunted her curves while reminding fans of her gym-honed abs as she said: "Gearing up for summer." Fans left over 28,000 likes.

Larsa's following has slowly been climbing as she continues to enjoy the single life following her split from NBA player Marcus Jordan. The Chicago native is likely also earning plenty from her OnlyFans, and she's been at it a while.

Larsa signed up to OF in July 2021, telling her fans: "I don't care what anyone says. Every woman can love and live on her own terms. Welcome to my OnlyFans, a really fun way to get to know the real me and for me to interact one on one with my true fans!" With a rising profile, Larsa Pippen may well see her $10 million climb as she continues to gain OF subscribers.

Kylie Jenner shows off famous curves

Kylie Jenner looked flawless as she revealed her famous curves in a tiny blue bikini.

The reality TV queen looked glam as ever as she flaunted her impressive curves as she larked about with pals wearing metallic and green costumes. Kylie showed off her cleavage in the plunging blue swimsuit with white trim.

The mum-of-two revealed her washboard flat stomach as she larked about for the shoot. She captioned it: "A Sprinter summer." Her fashion icon big sister Kim Kardashian was among the first to comment saying: "Fun" and "hot."

Meanwhile, Kylie accidentally suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she posed for photos wearing a sports bra paired with leggings. The 26-year-old reality star donned a pink sports set from Alo, but the plunging neckline accidentally exposed the self-adhesive cover on her right breast. Kylie posed for photos on a terrace, before moving indoors.

She paired her look with a thin gold bracelet and styled her hair in loose waves. The photos, which she shared with her 399 million followers on Instagram, also showed her red manicure. Kylie tagged the retailer and the company reshared the photo with a link to their website.

Last week, we reported that the make-up mogul left fans hugely disappointed as she made a strict decision on her romance with actor Timothee Chalamet. Kylie stunned fans when she debuted her romance with the 28-year-old actor last year.

They couldn't keep their hands off each other as they cozied up in the crowd at Beyoncé's performance on her Renaissance World Tour back in September. Their romance has gone from strength to strength and even faced claims Kylie was pregnant with Timothée's baby.

However, fans of Kylie and Wonka star Timothee have been left disappointed following reports they are not going to get a behind-the-scenes look at their relationship. In the season premiere of the latest The Kardashians series, the Dune star was not seen or mentioned at all.

The episode, titled Welcome To My Mind, saw no reference made to Kylie's boyfriend despite them being together since January 2023. Filming for the episode took place during Paris Fashion Week, which was held from September 25, 2023 to October 3. Kylie and Timothee made appearances together in the French capital as they attended singer Rosalia's birthday party.

And last month, Kylie sparked rumours of undergoing more surgery on her lips. The Kardashians star shared a series of selfies on her social media account as she posed in her car wearing a black sports bra. Kylie flaunted her cleavage as she posed, with her long dark hair styled in volumised soft waves as she smouldered into the camera.

Fans then re-shared the images on Reddit where they discussed Kylie's ever-changing look, this time drawing their attention to her lips. The social media users speculated that Kylie has had her lips changed again as they commented on the snaps.
