The upside-down bikini: a frugal new approach to old swimwear – or the most impractical trend

Oh my God, how hungover are these women? Should they be swimming? They're not hungover, or at least most of them aren't.

Then how is this happening? Is there something wrong with the changing room mirror? They are doing it on purpose.

Who is "they"? Models, influencers, Kardashians. According to style historians, the innovation was pioneered by the Instagram model Valentina Fradegrada in 2018.

And what look is totally on-trend right now? If I had to sum it up, I would say: consciously ill-fitting.

I'm sorry? The material is stretched uncomfortably, the strings either too loose or too tight, with little in the way of support in evidence.

Are you suggesting that wearing your bikini upside down is good for the planet? It might be, except that a lot of brands are now starting to make bikinis that already look upside down in order to capitalise on the trend.

The whole idea just seems so impractical. What happens when you dive in? Oh, you mustn't go in the water. The arrangement won't last a second.

Does it at least have a zip-up pocket for your vaccine passport? Not on any of the styles I have seen.

Don't say: "I'm not going on holiday, but as part of my sustainability drive I'll be wearing my underpants back to front."

"Vibe!!!! [fire emojis]," TV personality Olivia Pierson wrote. "Mood [heart eyes emojis]," one fan added.

"I think this year has been challenging for so many people but I also think that this year was a huge cleanse and just a huge opportunity for people to really be grateful for the simple things," Kardashian told Vogue in mid-March. "That is a huge — I think awakening that some people had."

"I always try to look at things in a positive way," she continued. "Even though it has been such a challenging year, it's a time to regenerate, get creative, spend so much time with family and just this time I've been able to spend with my children has been priceless. That part has been so beautiful."

Demi Rose All Bikini For Easter Bunny Surprise

Demi Rose and her Easter bunny are busy today. The 26-year-old model went with a literal surprise on Easter Sunday, posting for her 16.2 million Instagram followers and throwing out shots fans just might be familiar with. Demi, who hit up Venice Beach, California before the pandemic and made headlines for her pink bikini and bicycle shots, was sharing photos from her U.S. travels, with a bunny included, plus a rather surprising male addition in the background. Check it out below.

Scroll for the photos. They come as Demi extends gratitude overall, with the end of March bringing her 26th birthday - "26 years around the sun, it's been a blessing," the Pretty Little Thing ambassador wrote. Today extending blessings to fans, Demi updated with adorable outdoor shots showing her in her pink stringy bikini, one the model wasn't out to send provocation with.

Shot close up and with her gorgeous smile on show, Demi posed hugging the cutest fluffy white bunny.

All plump lips and unfussy vibes, Demi cradled the bunny close to her chest, with the multiple shots also delivering a "Peep the guy in the back" as Demi drew attention to a male far out and near sands and palms – he seemed very grateful with arms facing upwards.

"Happy Easter loves," Demi wrote with both a bunny and heart emoji, with swipe-right images definitely focusing on the dude in the "back."

"Hahaha i miss this," one fan replied, with "Omg this day miss you!!" coming in from gal pal Kinsey. See her peeling oranges in her Easter bikini below!

Demi made headlines on Easter Friday for yet another holiday-themed post, one seeing the brunette back in her signature bikini and in her Ibiza, Spain kitchen as she peeled an orange with many more citrus fruits next to her. These shots, far more revealing, came with the model tagging herself in Ibiza and writing:

Demi is now at 16.2 million Instagram followers, with a gain of around 100,000 a week. In October 2020, Demi celebrated hitting 15 million, posting from a bobbing boat in The Maldives and writing:

"Heaven is a state of mind ⛅️ 15 million of you. I am amazed. I never would have thought when I began Instagram and started modelling at 18 to have such an amazing fan base like I do now. I appreciate and love you all so much. Thank you for all your support.💕"

Katharine McPhee celebrates postpartum body in bikini selfie

In an Instagram story posted Tuesday, the new mom proudly wore her post-baby curves wearing a brown high-waisted bikini and retro sunglasses.

McPhee welcomed Rennie David with husband David Foster in February and revealed their son's name on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in a March interview.

During her pregnancy, the former "American Idol" hopeful, 36, was candid about dealing with resurfaced feelings tied to her previous struggle with an eating disorder.

"Feeling like there was a relapse after getting pregnant was really shocking and upsetting and concerning for me, because I was suddenly so obsessed with food, starting from this first trimester, and I had such a distortion of the way that I looked," she on an episode of Dr. Berlin's Informed Pregnancy Podcast in early March.

"We picked Rennie 'cause I'd actually been in labor for a while. We didn't have a name picked out ," she said. "We had a couple names, but my husband was on a text chain with his sisters and one of his sisters suggested an old family name. It was his great-grandfather's name, his great-uncle's name, so it has a long history in his family. My husband said, 'Hi, Ren Foster,' and so we said, 'That's a good name. It's a strong name.'"

Rennie is McPhee's first child. Foster, 71, is the father of five daughters from previous relationships, including Allison, 50, Amy, 47, Sara, 40, Erin, 38, and Jordan, 34.

Kim Kardashian Is All Beach And Bikinis As Forbes Officially Marks Her Billionaire Status -

For the first time ever, Kim Kardashian was added to Forbes' annual "World's Billionaire List," with the magazine noting that her net worth now sits at $1 billion. This change in her monetary standing is the result of her successful KKW Beauty and Skims businesses, along with her TV show and various endorsements.

Kim Kardashian didn't explicitly mention the accomplishment in her recent Instagram post, though she did seem incredibly happy in the photos. She also included a brief caption that accurately encapsulates her current mood. You can check out the post for yourself down below:

Kim Kardashian tends to strike a pose with a serious look in most of her social media photos, yet this may be the widest smile we've seen her with in a while. I mean let's be honest, if any of us were just officially classified as billionaires, we'd probably be grinning from ear to ear and relaxing, too.

Kim Kardashian's most recent post falls right in line with the way she's celebrated some other milestones. One of the most recent is her 40th birthday, which she also marked by posting a jaw-dropping bikini photo that proves she'll continue to slay for years to come. But even when she's not celebrating, she still has no problem sending out a bikini pic, which was the case when she recently posted while on a Spring Break vacation with her children.

With Keeping Up with the Kardashians having officially wrapped filming on its final season, fans won't be able to see Kim Kardashian's very first response to being named a billionaire. But to be honest, the feelings of joy she expresses in this recent post probably speak louder than any reaction she would have had on the show.

You can check out Keeping Up with the Kardashians ' final season, which airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on E!.
