2023 Swim Search finalist Achieng Agutu has always been an outspoken advocate for confidence, empowering others to be their true selves through her various social media platforms.

The 26-year-old has styled herself “The Tantalizing Confidence Queen” on Instagram, where she loves to share comedic rants that highlight regular, everyday body types with her 524,000 followers.

In her most recent reel of that nature, the Kenya native donned a strappy paisley-printed bikini set with gold accents to encourage others to show confidence in their bodies and likewise don a bikini. She accessorized with a large pair of gold starfish earrings and a chunky gold bracelet.

“Why are you outside here in that oversized T-shirt?” the social media personality demanded at the start of the short clip. “Put on that bikini! We wanna see you in your full glory,” she encouraged.

The video was in line with Agutu’s typical content, which stresses body positivity and reshaping typical beauty standards.

“Put that T-shirt away, come on now,” she ended the playful video.

“Also reminder that ya’ll better be voting for me to be the 2024 @si_swimsuit rookie so we can be wearing bikinis all year longggggg!! Link in bio bestiessss😘😘😘,” she ended the caption, encouraging her followers to vote for a 2023 Swim Search winner.
