Statement accessories are a simple and effective way to upgrade your beachside apparel, and this Natalia Fedner number is the perfect example. Tinashe modeled the label’s Metal Mini Dress ($2,975)—made of 100% chain, as the site explains—during her SI Swimsuit 2021 debut in Hollywood, Fla.

Reflective materials and vibrant colors each turn heads in their own right, and this magenta triangle suit worn by Rian during her 2023 rookie debut in the Dominican Republic combines both. In an oceanside cave, the model showcased Haus of Pink Lemonaid’s ERMAN SEQUIN STRING BIKINI ($128), which also comes in a teal shade.

For Harvey’s first feature in the magazine in Mexico, the 28-year-old sported the brand’s triangle bikini ($695), embellished with the label’s iconic “DG” initials along its top’s adjustable straps.

Grace Gui’s Pink Silk Bikini ($195)—debuted by Herbert in Zurich, Switzerland—features intricate beading along both its triangle string top and ultra-cheeky bottoms.
