Gabriella Halikas is enjoying some R&R in Mexico, and the 2021 Swim Search finalist is matching her outfits to her surroundings. 

The 26-year-old model shared a carousel of outfit pics from her time in Puerto Vallarta on Dec. 21, and it started out with several stunning snaps of the model in a figure-hugging pink-and-orange dress. The floral underwire number by House of CB perfectly coordinated with the setting sun peeking out from behind Halikas and the palm trees in the background. She accented her look with lots of gold jewelry, including a stack of bangles on each wrist, and white peep-toe heels.

“only lying i do is lying in the tropics🌺,” the self-proclaimed CEO of confidence quipped in her caption.

Halikas showed off several other looks in the post, including a metallic blue dress by Vassia Kostara, which she rocked poolside, and a red athleisure set by Solely Fit that she sported on the golf course.

We weren’t the only ones to notice that the brunette beauty, who is signed with Ford Models, blended in with her surroundings, either.

“The way she matched the sunset just inspired me 😭,” one person noted in the comments section.

“The orange pink combo is perfection,” another follower added.

“You look so gorgeous Ella🧡🧡🧡🧡,” someone else gushed.

It’s clear that Halikas knows how to dress, but more than that, she is a firm believer that confidence comes from within and radiates outward.

“Don’t listen to what the tabloids and the media say is what’s beautiful and what’s not, because at the end of the day, that comes from within,” she told us earlier this year. “Really hone in on that inner confidence and don’t listen so much externally to what’s hot and what’s not, because our bodies should never be a trend.”
