The Sport's Illustrated swimsuit model Camille Kostek is proud of her bikini body

Camille Kostek likes showing off her hour-glass figure and inspire others, just as other women inspired her growing up.

“I remembered looking at JLo because she had a set of hips,” she said. “And I think that’s what so cool about this day and age...

“Being an older sister and having been a young woman, it’s super cool for these women to reach out and share their insecurities or something that they want advice on and kind of being able to be their inspiration.”

Kostek’s career has certainly taken off — in addition to being named a 2019 Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and rookie, she has also competed in the magazine’s first ever Instagram-based model search. Kostek made the top 15 finalists and was invited to Belize for a photo shoot.

Dorit Kemsley reveals her secret behind her amazing bikini body

Dorit Kemsley needs to look good in a bikini. After she shared an image looking toned and bronzed, fans asked the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star how she keeps looking so good.

She responded that she eats salmon or chicken with brown rice and veggies for dinner, later adding that she also stocks up on healthy bites like apples and peanut butter, which she says her kids also enjoy “Or a banana with a handful of almonds are always good on the go snacks for me,” she added.

When pressed for more detail, the fashionista responded that she is conscious to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“I like to eat healthy. I start my morning with hot water and lemon. Then fresh celery juice then coffee. I do some type of movement treadmill, a hike, yoga or Pilates and I’m on the go from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep,” she wrote. “I have a treadmill and a trampoline in my bedroom. For the most part, I eat healthy and clean but I believe in moderation. If I have a naughty day I’ll be really good the next day.”

Several fans teased Kemsley for championing moderation after famously using the catchphrase, “I believe in an excess of everything… except moderation” for her Season 8 tag line, but many acknowledged that she seemed to have a reasonable approach to maintaining her health.

Immediately I cancelled my September shoot in Manhattan and signed up for the Ujena Jam. Smart move in a lot of ways…911 happened the day I was suppose to leave NY.

“So I submitted my images to Bob Anderson to be reviewed and to get an invite to the annual Bikini Jam…impatiently I waited. I did get the invite and attended. The first three years were tough but a great learning experience. But I figured it out...I am still at it 18 years later and still living the dream…I get to photograph beautiful Ujena swimwear models on sandy beaches. Doesn’t get much better than this.”
