Yumi Nu has hopped on the Monday Swimwear train and she’s seriously nailing her latest monochrome beach look. The SI Swimsuit model, who made history with the brand in 2022 when she became the first plus-size Asian model to land on the cover of the magazine, has posed for the brand four years in a row. Like several fellow franchise stars including Sixtine, Alix Earle, Lorena Durán, Kate Love, Christen Harper and Paige Spiranac, Nu agrees that a cute, elegant, flattering and high-quality Monday Swimwear suit is certainly worth the splurge.

In a recent Instagram post, the talented R&B musician, who is also the founder of size-inclusive, sustainable clothing brand Blueki, donned a sleek black and white set from Monday Swimwear, featuring a classic triangle top and cheeky thin-strapped bottoms.
