Starting strong with this ethereal shot of Bloom in front of some gorgeous greenery. From the way her wavy hair fell perfectly to the front of her body to the way the pink flowers gently touched her face, there’s so much to love about this snapshot.

The one-piece swimsuit from isabelle rose was also worthy of praise, as the stylish cut and unique hue further complemented the entire look.

Continuing our trend of eye-catching one-pieces, this look from Bloom was just too good not to include.

This swimsuit from Ema Savahl Couture was incredible, not only because it’s such a modern-looking piece, but because of the way the gold reflected the sparkling sun. Also, brown and gold aren’t colors you often see together in swimwear, which is all the more reason to applaud this ensemble.

Now and then, a SI Swimsuit model gives the brand a pose so fierce, it deserves its own special shout-out. Case in point, this poised snapshot.

In this photo, Bloom looked like a goddess who had just happened upon a serene island. She doesn’t seem to have a care in the world other than enjoying the tranquility of the sights and sounds around her. Her sun-kissed skin glowed as she closed her eyes and basked in the warm rays of the Dominica sun.

There’s no denying royal blue is one of Bloom’s best colors, and this shade brought out the radiance of her gorgeous skin.

Rosina~Mae cooked up a glamorous one-piece here, and the shape of the swimsuit only got better upon closer inspection. Be it the distinct design of the top or the bright gold lining found throughout the piece, there’s no denying this look was truly unique.
