Brazilian Model Bru Luccas shared extremely steamy picture of herself in a see-through white bathing suit.

The Sao Paolo native moved to California nearly five years ago to pursue her dream of modeling. The first few years were not easy, and Bru took jobs ranging from a “handywoman, [working] in a McDonald’s kitchen, as a busser at On The Border and as a cashier at Wahoo’s Fish Tacos,” according to Yahoo! Lifestyle.

However, the model struck gold after a picture of herself flipping burgers in a bikini went viral nearly two years ago. Since then, she has become a social media star with almost two million followers on Instagram.

The brunette bombshell looked stunning in the shot. The swimsuit shows off her beautiful hourglass figure, and is sheer around the bosom area, giving viewers a very revealing view of her décolletage. Her long brown hair is styled straight, and she wears black rectangular sunglasses to shield her eyes from the summer sun. The look was completed with a skateboard, which Bru holds casually behind her head as she walks down the beach.

The picture was not the only shot uploaded by the fitness model on the Fourth. In addition to the swimsuit shot, she posted a picture Bru dons a white crop top which is sure to show off her toned abs. The look is completed with low waist jeans, which reveals her tiny waist to its best advantage. The rest of the look is sweet and casual, with straight brown hair, natural makeup and a golden tan as the Brazilian beauty’s accessories.

July 5th marks the anniversary of the invention of the bikini in 1946! National Bikini Day

Although evidence of a bikini-style garment has been found as early as 5,600 BC, the iconic swimsuit is commonly dated to 1946 when french automotive and mechanical engineer Louis Réard introduced it. july 5 marks national bikini day and today we celebrate 73 years since its invention.

The modern bikini made its first appearance at a poolside fashion show in paris, exploding immediately onto the fashion scene. it happened when Réard noticed women in St. Tropez rolling their swimsuits to get a better tan. this coincided with a material rationing after world war II, where fashion houses were forced to use less fabric, resulting in more exposed flesh. Réard’s bikini featured four triangles made from 194 centimetres of fabric with a newspaper pattern.

Once he had the two-piece bathing suit ready, Réard found it nearly impossible to find a model brave enough to wear the suit at his press conference. instead, he hired Micheline Bernardini, a 19-years-old nude dancer from Paris. the engineer made the official presentation of the bikini five days after the first test of a nuclear device at bikini atoll, shocking the public because his design exposed the navel.

After its inception, the bikini received significant social resistance, even if more than 50,000 women showed their support to Réard via written letters. the swimsuit was only worn by women in the vanguard, mostly european and upper-class. in 1951, the controversial piece was banned following the first miss world contest in london, when the winner was crowned in a bikini. catholic countries like belgium, italy, spain and australia also banned it.

Today is National Bikini Day and basically it means summer is in full bloom...in case you didn't already know it, it's time to get into full summer mode and break out all of your best suits for National Bikini Day and for the next few months.

Baton Rouge native Brooks Nader officially won the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2019 Model Search.

The magazine revealed on Wednesday the pinup will appear in the 2020 issue as its handpicked “rookie.” She joins the ranks of fellow model search winners Camille Kostek, Haley Kalil, Anne De Paula and Mia Kang.

Back in May of this year, Nader attended the “SI Swimsuit on Location” event in Miami where she described how her life has changed since appearing on the magazine.

“For me, it’s everything,” Nader revealed at the venue’s red carpet affair. “I’ve always dreamt of it. It’s like a childhood dream of mine. I entered through Model Search, so I did the open call in Miami a year ago and now I’m here. So, the process and the journey for me is everything, because it was a long one.”

Nader insisted she would recommend any girl to take a chance to rock a skimpy swimsuit for the coveted magazine.

“Go for it,” she shared. “Do it. Be yourself. Own it. I mean, editor MJ Day and all the editors are just as nervous to meet you guys. Like, they want to see you. They want to see the real you. You want to be authentic. Show your flaws… MJ loves that. And it’s just such a special thing to be a part of this brand.”

The outlet also revealed Nader easily stands out from the pack. The pinup is described as someone who is obsessed with eating jalapenos from the jar and talented in peeling two pounds of crawfish in under 10 minutes, among other unique talents.

Looking back, Nader admitted she was stunned when the magazine’s editor called her with the exciting news about appearing in this year’s issue.

Nader also told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit that she hopes the opportunity will help her define what it means to be a model in today’s fashion industry.

“I want to inspire and encourage young women like my three little sisters to embrace and own who they are and go for it all in life,” Nader continued. “SI inspires us and gives us all permission to own our bodies and our personalities and gifts to let them shine before the watching world.”

Halle Berry shares some of her beauty secrets that keep her looking so young

Halle Berry revealed that she swears by using facial masks to keep her skin looking supple. She also shared that she uses the “ageless” mask from Olga Lorencin Skin Care.

As Marie Claire Magazine reports, it’s a two-step skin care treatment. The first mask exfoliates, while the second one hydrates. You wear the hydration mask overnight and it’s meant to nourish your skin with ingredients that help make the skin look smoother.

It’s also no secret that Halle Berry works out a lot. But she has said that she was forced to increase the intensity of her workouts to prepare for John Wick, so that she could convincingly kick butt alongside the film’s lead, Keanu Reeves. The training was so intense that Halle broke three ribs in the process.

“This was on another level. I trained for about six months, five days a week,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It was gun training, jiu-jitsu, aikido, all different kinds of martial arts. I broke three ribs at one point. When I broke the ribs I thought, ‘Oh, this is it, they’re going to recast me,’ but Chad [the director] said he was going to wait for me. And he waited for me, and I went back into training, and kept going.”

But luckily, all that hard work paid off. The film did well at the box office and knocked Avengers: Endgame from the the No. 1 movie spot at one point. Not the worst trade off for a couple of broken ribs.

Although it is pretty common for Bollywood actresses to wear bikini, the trend is still not so usual in the TV industry. However, lately, a lot of TV divas have been flaunting their sizzling avatars on Instagram.

For Melanie Griffith 60 is the new 40

Some 31 years after telling Harrison Ford she had a “head for business and a bod for sin,” Melanie Griffith is showing off her figure.

The 61-years-old star who turns 62 on Aug. 9 has taken a page out of swimsuit scene-stealer Elizabeth Hurley’s book by modeling a plunging black bikini and sharing the photos on Instagram.

According to an earlier Instagram post, Griffith is vacationing with friends in Spain, birthplace of her third husband, actor Antonio Banderas.

The Working Girl star’s snapshots from the trip show her posing on a boat alongside pal Masha Adonyeva while rocking a black two-piece and oversized sunglasses.

While most commenters gushed that Griffith looked “gorgeous,” her post also stirred up a few negative remarks from those age-shaming the star or accusing her of retouching her photos to make her body look better.

Sister-in-law Sophie Turner commented some love on the post.

Jonas also shared some sweet moments from their romantic getaway, sharing a video of the couple dancing in the Tuscan fields while watching the sunset.

In a recent interview with Elle UK, Chopra opened up about her wedding to Nick and their new life together as a married couple, after tying the knot in two ceremonies in Chopra’s home country of India in December 2018.

“I’d never realized having a husband and a boyfriend are such different things. When you say your vows, it’s like this person is my family, and it’s the family I chose. There’s a weird responsibility to them. And a safety that comes from it,” Chopra explained.

“We are learning about each other every day,” she added.

Megan Rapinoe was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated following her World Cup win for team USA

Rapinoe stars on the cover of the latest issue of Sports Illustrated together with her fellow player Alex Morgan.

The American team captains are pictured together following their Women’s World Cup victory on July 7, winning 2-0 against Netherlands.

As Rapinoe’s profile surges, people are sharing throwback pictures of her shoot for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit summer edition, which was published back in May.

Dubbed the “most interesting player at this Women’s World Cup” by football journalist Caitlin Murray writing for The Guardian, Rapinoe is known as much for her outspoken views off-pitch as her fierce performance on it.

In March this year, along with her team Rapinoe was one of 28 USWNT players to file a gender discrimination lawsuit against US Soccer.

In a powerful speech at the City Hall rally for the United States women’s soccer team yesterday, she told the crowd: “This is my charge to everyone: We have to be better, we have to love more and hate less. Listen more and talk less. It is our responsibility to make this world a better place.”

Rapinoe, who openly identifies as gay, also made a statement about her team’s diversity, adding: “We got pink hair and purple hair. We got tattoos and dreadlocks. We got white girls and black girls and everything in between. We got straight girls and gay girls.”

Kelsea Ballerini ’s toned body doesn’t come without a whole lot of hard work

The “Peter Pan” singer showed off all her hard work in the gym as she hit the pool while rocking a swimsuit.

But her toned body doesn’t come without a whole lot of hard work.

“I have a trainer when I’m home in Nashville. Her name is Erin Oprea and she also trains Carrie Underwood and a bunch of other people,” Kelsea previously told The Cut of her exercise routine.

“We do a lot of strength training and then when I’m on the road, we do circuits sometimes with my band or we’ll go to a class that’s close by, like if there’s a Soul Cycle we’ll go offsite to do that, which is really fun.”

Ballerini also shared her health and fitness advice with the outlet, stating, “You have to find what works for you and not compare your health or your workouts or your eating patterns to anyone else’s, because everyone is different and everyone’s bodies are different.”

“Learn what works for you, and be happy with that,” she added.
