This is not the first time Bella has worn a tankini, putting her stamp of approval on the trend that's all over Tiktok at the moment. She recently launched three tankini styles as part of her Frankies Bikinis x Bella Hadid collaboration—including a split-hem suede design, a plaid halter version, and a duochrome corset top.

What exactly is a tankini?

Bella modeled two of them herself making the trend even bigger. The tankini is riding the current wave of Y2K nostalgia.

A tankini is a two-piece swimsuit that combines the comfort of a tank top with bikini bottoms, offering more coverage than a traditional bikini while still being a fun ensemble to soak up the sun.

How to style a tankini:

When it comes to swimwear, the tankini doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves. But this versatile two-piece is having a serious style moment—and it’s about time.

The tankini is perfect for poolside lounging, beach days, or even a tropical dinner with a quick outfit switch-up.

Mix and match bottoms: Pair a printed tankini top with solid bottoms. Try high-waisted briefs for retro vibes, cheeky cuts for something playful, or swim shorts for a sportier look.

Layer with style: A cute cover-up can elevate your whole beach look. For a more structured look, try a linen button-up shirt knotted at the waist.
