If you're looking for a summer vibe right now, look no further than Lizzo's bikinigrams. The "Good as Hell" singer is constantly serving up swimsuit inspo, and we're all for it. When she's not making us laugh on TikTok, chances are you can find her living it up by a pool wearing a variety of swimsuit styles. Another thing we love? Most of her bikinigrams always come with body-positive messages like "BIG GRRRL SUMMER HAS BEGUN ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ YOU BEEN WARNED ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜˜" and "Roll Model" on a picture that showed off her curves.

We're taking a look back at some of our favorite swimsuit snaps on her Instagram. Be prepared to take notes, because she pretty much owns every style, color, and print in the books. She's rocked a classic string bikini, a fruity pink pineapple two-piece, and even a fuzzy set. Scroll on to see our favorite Lizzo swimsuit moments.

13 Old Navy Bottoms That Come Up So High, They'll Practically Kiss Your Bikini Top

When it comes to itty-bitty bikinis and ones with extra coverage, we've got plenty of love to share. While there are times for a thong-type bottom, there are also times when we want to be a bit more modest. Since one of the best things about two-pieces is all the mix-and-match potential, we've decided to round up high-waisted bottoms to wear with coordinating tops from Old Navy or swap with something you already own.

Our list has reversible boy shorts, French-cut options with high sides, and colorful bottoms that cover a belly button. Check out our favorite 13 ahead, because we couldn't ever pick just one.



Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande Establish This Little Yellow Versace Dress as the Look of the Summer

If the belted yellow skater dress Dua Lipa wears in Versace's fall/winter 2021 campaign looks familiar, it's because Ariana Grande debuted it on The Late Late Show With James Corden. The look is straight off the runway and has the mod, '60s aesthetic Donatella Versace was going for this season. While Grande wore it with matching tights and platform shoes, in the campaign, photographed by Mert AlaลŸ and Marcus Piggott, it's styled on Dua with a silk headscarf and a reinvented La Greca motif. (Lipa also notably dyed her hair for the shoot!)

While we've seen iconic Versace looks bubble up among Hollywood A-listers before, most recently the colorful starfish print, the accessible skater dress is sticking with us beyond these two celebrity moments. Always fans of harking back to stylish decades, we couldn't help but join in on the '60s fun and scope out inspired minis for our wardrobe. After all, we don't need very much convincing that a certain silhouette is here to stay when it's on empowering women of the moment like Lipa and Grande. Ahead, count down the appearances of this yellow Versace dress with us, then check out inspired numbers we found for your own wardrobe at a fraction of the price.
