J.Lo's "Cheeky" Bikini Signals a Major 2021 Swimsuit Trend
Jennifer Lopez at the beach is a sight we'll never tire of. She never fails to turn a sandy, salty, sweaty experience into a very glamorous one. It's impressive, to say the least. A typical J.Lo beach outfit may include but is not limited to hoop earrings, designer sunglasses, a trendy hat, and perhaps a sheer cover-up. We're bringing this up because Lopez is currently in a beautiful undisclosed beach location and according to her Instagram, her bikini "outfits" are better than ever.
Perhaps in an effort to break the internet, Lopez posted a jaw-dropping bikini photo yesterday, and we instantly knew that it would indicate one of 2021's biggest swimwear trends: sparkly bikinis (and one-pieces) that glisten in the sun. That said, we'd be remiss to not point out that this was also a swim trend last year. But with J.Lo's early-2021 approval of it with her $99 Triangl bikini (she went with the "Cheeky" bottoms), you can be sure that it'll continue to be everywhere.
