Our very own Olivia Ponton has certainly spent her summer fruitfully, and we couldn’t be more jealous. The model has been traveling around to a series of tropical European destinations and capturing every last minute of it. Though we know she’s back stateside—having attended the Variety Power of Young Hollywood red carpet in California on Thursday evening—luckily for us, the influencer is still sharing content from her summer adventures. 

Most recently, Ponton shared the sweetest clip of an afternoon dip in the clear blue waters off the coast of France, which she traveled to in mid-July following a foray in Ibiza and Mallorca. She sported a glittery gold-and-white strappy bikini in the video and a large gold pendant necklace. With her hair wet and slicked back as she emerged from the water, she looked like an absolute mermaid in the French waters.

“france i love you🪽,” she captioned the short clip, a fittingly adoring caption for what is a beautiful backdrop for her video.

In addition to making us want to book a trip to France, the 21-year-old is inspiring us to take a look back at her equally stunning SI Swimsuit photos. Ponton posed for her rookie feature in Montenegro last year, which she followed up with a trip to Dominica for the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue. A particular silver metallic Andi Bagus swimsuit from this year’s photoshoot served similar mermaid-inspired vibes to her glimmery French look.

Here’s to hoping Ponton continues to produce the travel content that we all know and love.
