Summer is right around the corner, and for those of us gearing up to hit the beach or planning to lounge by a pool, it's time to start swimsuit shopping. We firmly believe that every woman should be able to hit the beach feeling beautiful and confident, no matter her size or shape. Like the saying goes, "Every body is a beach body." Anyone who has a body and goes to the beach has a beach body, so we say, stop being nervous, embarrassed, or even ashamed, and just enjoy the moment.
Aside from the hang-ups many moms tend to have about their tummies, stretch marks, or cellulite, society also tells us that we have to make sure we don't look too sexy either. Oh, please! Being a mom does not mean we can't step out looking hot this summer. We moms have earned the right to show off our incredible, life-giving bodies, no matter what shape they're in.
This year, we're ready to step out and we're turning to some of our favorite celebrities of all shapes and sizes for some sexy swimsuit inspiration. Whether a size 0 or 20, many celebs choose to rock seriously sexy bikinis and one-pieces on their exotic vacations or while relaxing by their pools at home. It's totally empowering! Take a look at some of the hottest celebrity swimsuit styles.
Oh and P.S., they're all moms!
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian, who launched a collection of swimwear for all body types under her Skims line in 2022, recently donned this perfect black bandeau bikini. It has just the right amount of sheen, and the bottom isn't too high- or low-cut to actually be wearable for a lot of different body types.
SKIMS Bandeau Bikini Top, $58, SKIMS
Jessica Simpson
Singer and businesswoman Jessica Simpson recently admitted to wearing a bikini on spring break for the first time in years, and she looked so adorable. A bright, colorful print is just the thing to bring out your confidence. We're so happy Jess has chosen to embrace her body, no matter what changes it goes through.
Jessica Simpson Shine Bright Thick Strap Retro Bra in Tulip Multi, $64, Jessica Simpson
Mindy Kaling
If you're comedian Mindy Kaling, you wear what you feel comfortable in and you wear it with the most confidence ever. Mindy has serious style, and that includes swimsuit style. She's not one to don a bikini, but she sure makes this long-sleeved, one-piece swimsuit look amazing.
J.Crew Long-Sleeve One-Piece Rash Guard, $128, J.Crew
Ciara
Singer Ciara looks so sexy in this bright red one-piece swimsuit. The mom of three obviously knows how awesome bathing suits with adjustable ties are, and she often wears strappy suits with strategic coverage. These kinds of styles make room for your curves and allow you to create a perfect fit.
Andie The Fiji One Piece, $98, Andie
Kelly Ripa
TV personality Kelly Ripa is naturally a slim person, but she also works really hard to maintain her trim figure. Dance is a hobby of hers, and she works out a lot. That means it's easy for her to pull off even the tiniest bikinis, like this hot pink number. It's a classic triangle style, with an ultra-low waist, but it's the color that makes it really pop.
Aerie Shine Pique String Triangle Bikini Top, $34.95, Aerie
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria is petite, and before becoming a mom she was always spotted out in tiny string bikinis. When she was pregnant, she embraced her changing body and took her time losing the baby weight. But once she got back into her fitness routine, she went hard. Now she's sporting some incredible mom curves, and we think she looks even better in a bathing suit than ever before. This white style is out of control.
Becca Fine Line One-Piece Swimsuit, $138, Nordstrom
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian, who is in her 40s, looks beyond incredible in just about any swimsuit, but we especially love her in a bikini. She's also a petite person, but she's still curvy. A shimmery, metallic swimsuit highlights those curves and creates a really pretty effect. It's perfect for confident types.
Good American Sparkle Tiny Ties Bikini Top, $59, Good American
Hilary Duff
Mom of three and actress Hilary Duff has a super fit, athletic body type. We love this bandeau bikini on her. The cut really shows off her toned physique — it's sexy without being too revealing. The darker shade of animal print adds a bit of personality, and everyone knows personality is what really makes someone HOT.
Chase the Waves Leopard Print Bikini Top, $24, Pink Lily
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez can rock a bikini like nobody's business — even in her 50s — but it was this white one-piece that shook the internet. The queen of curves posted this photo oh-so-casually and had us all googling where we could find a similar swimsuit. It totally accentuates her hourglass figure, and the white is so bold.
Free People Toast Solid High Cut One-Piece Swimsuit, $90, Free People
Kim Kardashian
Yep, we're talking about Kim Kardashian here, so she makes the list twice. The verdict is still out on just how cosmetically sculpted her body is, but regardless, a lot of mamas with hourglass figures can take a cue from her when it comes to flattering bikini styles. The nude shade of this suit makes it sexier, but also more wearable and forgiving.
SKIMS Swim Triangle Top, $38, SKIMS
America Ferrera
There's something about a perfectly fitted swimsuit that's super sexy, and America Ferrera found the one here. We love the tropical print and think the athletic cut and high neck make her look strong and confident. There's nothing sexier than that. So for ladies who want to look sexy, but still feel like themselves, try a style like this one.
Athleta Maldives Bra Cup Bikini Top, $69, Athleta
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen literally got her start as a swimsuit model, so she obviously knows how to rock a bikini. Now, as a mom, we've noticed that she wears one-pieces a lot, too, and she still looks just as sexy. This textured design frames her décolletage perfectly, and the high cut shows off her long legs.
J.Crew Textured Square-Neck One Piece, $118, J.Crew
Khloé Kardashian
There's no way we were gonna leave out Khloé Kardashian. Koko has worked way too hard for her stunning body for us not to point out how incredible she looks in a bathing suit. She usually opts for bikinis, but this mint green one-piece is equally sexy. It's super cheeky, with a flattering neckline and a gorgeous keyhole back.
Good American Always Fits One Piece Swimsuit, $89, Good American
Beyoncé
Beyoncé's body is nothing short of iconic, and she only got more voluptuous after having her three kids. She stuns when filling out a bikini. String styles in bright, tropical-inspired colors look really incredible on her. String bikinis are awesome since they allow you to adjust the fit to create the sexiest silhouette.
Abercrombie & Fitch 90s Triangle Bikini Top, $45, Abercrombie & Fitch
Serena Williams
Leave it to tennis GOAT Serena Williams to make sporty look insanely sexy. This two-tone green suit is everything on her curvy, athletic build, and something similar is a great option for moms who want to be able to run around the beach and not worry about a nip slip, while still looking hot.
Cupshe Textured Bralette & High Waist Bikini Set, $23.99, Cupshe
Kelly Clarkson
Full coverage can definitely still be sexy, especially with a fitted black suit like the one Kelly Clarkson is wearing here. The sweetheart neckline is totally flattering on her and the draping of the fabric accentuates her curves. It's the perfect option for mamas who want to look hot without revealing too much.
Summersalt The Ruched Backflip, $95, Summersalt
Denise Bidot
Remind us again who said we have to be thin to wear a bikini … Clearly it wasn't model Denise Bidot, who is bringing all the heat in this tiny string bikini. The key is to come with confidence no matter your size. Don't be afraid of letting those stretch marks shine. Just wear what feels good, and all that self-worth will bring the sexy.
Cotton On Reversible Slider Triangle Bikini Top, $34.99, Cotton On
Ashley Graham
This woman has some serious bod! Ashley Graham has transitioned her career as a plus-size model into a successful career as an influencer, TV personality, and businesswoman. She is all about body positivity. She actually loves bikinis so much that she has her own line of them. In this particular suit, we love that the top is adjustable and can allow for a personalized fit and as much cleavage reveal as wanted.
Cupshe Gradient Tropicals Bralette & High Waist Bikini Set, $29.99, Cupshe
Pink
Yes, we realize her swimsuit isn't showing in this photo, but that's exactly our point. Singer Pink looks damn sexy, and the particular swimsuit she's wearing doesn't matter. She's strong, confident, capable, and clearly having an amazing time, proving that any bathing suit can be sexy with the right attitude.
