Kim Kardashian feels perfectly at home in a string bikini, whether she’s posing for the cover of last year’s SI Swimsuit Issue or sharing content with her 363 million Instagram followers. 

The reality TV star and entrepreneur shared a carousel of nighttime poolside photos on Aug. 15, in which she donned a gold Dolce & Gabbana two-piece for an evening swim in Italy. Kardashian stood in thigh-deep water with her hands above her head in the first snap, flaunted her toned figure in others and, eventually, made her way to a bicycle parked by the edge of the pool. The 42-year-old mom of four hopped on for a few photo ops as she cycled by the water. The collage of pics ended up where Kardashian started—back in the pool, showing off her string swimsuit and toned abs.

“Nite swim in Puglia,” Kardashian aptly captioned her photos, which racked up more than two million likes and tons of feedback in just eight hours.

“Armenian Barbie 😍,” one person commented.

“I MISS THIS KIMBERLY 2009 ERA🥹,” someone else noted.

“Giving early 2000s Kim 😍,” an additional follower concurred.

“Kim is such a baddie 🔥🔥,” another fan added.

Despite the late hour, the SKIMS cofounder opted for full glam for her photoshoot. Her long, dark locks were styled in a sleek and wavy blowout, while Kardashian opted for bold brows, lots of lashes and a nude lip. Her SI Swimsuit photos captured by Greg Swales in the Dominican Republic last year were a bit more natural—check them out here.
