Bella Hadid is once again setting the fashion world abuzz, this time by reviving a nostalgic swimwear staple: the tankini.
On April 15, 2025, the supermodel shared a series of Instagram photos showcasing herself in a stylish tankini, a long, sleeveless white top adorned with a blue pattern, paired with matching bottoms.
This ensemble not only highlights her impeccable style but also cements the tankini’s return as a must-have for the upcoming summer season.
The tankini, a two-piece swimsuit featuring a tank top-style upper, first gained popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Offering more coverage than a traditional bikini while maintaining a fashionable edge, it became a favorite among those seeking both comfort and style.
Now, with the resurgence of Y2K fashion trends, the tankini is making a notable comeback, thanks in part to influencers and celebrities like Hadid embracing its retro charm.
Hadid’s recent endorsement isn’t her first foray into the tankini trend. Previously, she introduced three distinct tankini designs, a split-hem suede top, a plaid halter, and a duochrome corset, as part of her collaboration with Frankies Bikinis.
Modeling two of these pieces herself, she showcased the versatility and modern appeal of the tankini, blending nostalgic elements with contemporary design.
As the summer of 2025 approaches, the tankini stands out as a perfect blend of comfort, coverage, and style, ready to make a splash in wardrobes everywhere.
