Who better to take bikini advice than style icon and 2022 SI Swimsuit cover model Maye Musk? For her shoot, she opted for a floral, high-waisted Zimmermann two-piece suit that simply stunned. “Fortunately, there was no mirror, so I couldn’t see what I looked like, but when I came out of the dressing room, they all went, ‘Whoa,’ ” Musk said. “It’s a high waist, so it tucked me in nicely. I look quite curvy. I just walked around like I was a teenager.”
