While packing for my Fourth of July getaway, I realized I've worn the same lavender bikini for three summers straight. The two-piece looked frayed and tired in my suitcase, let alone on my person. Thus began my hunt for a replacement. Turns out, I didn't have to look far. My work as Marie Claire's resident celebrity style expert meant a new swimsuit has been a click away for weeks.
This year's Beachwear Wrapped™ is off to a nostalgic start. Celebrities' favorite trends for 2025 resemble suits I haven't considered since 2015. According to Marie Claire's fashion features editor, Emma Childs, full-coverage suits are on the rise. Kylie Jenner was first to take the plunge with a pair of throwback swim shorts. On May 19, the Kylie Cosmetics founder styled an itty-bitty Gimaguas top with thigh-length shorts from the Barcelona-based label.
