The bikini is the star of summer ’21-but we’re not talking about just any bikini!
From Lady Gaga’s star-shaped cups to the upside-down trend that’s been making waves all year, our favorite celebs are pushing the envelope on barely-there swimwear. And of all the styles we’ve seen so far, the floss bikini might be the most risqué trend yet!
Just like its name suggests, the floss bikini is all about flaunting tiny strings of material that criss-cross your body. Emily Ratajkowski’s swimwear line Inamorata even carries a floss-style bikini top, but if that’s not quite enough coverage for you, the trend also translates to monokinis.
As you prepare to rock your own version of the floss suit before beach szn ends, take your inspo from the A-listers below!

At this point, there isn’t a swimwear trend that Bella Hadid CAN’T rock-and that includes the floss bikini! While vacationing in Ibiza, the supermodel took to the ‘gram on August 13 to show us all that she’s living her best life. And her choice of outfits? A red bikini featuring a criss-cross tie around her stomach! In typical It Girl fashion, she teamed her ab-baring getup (by Dilara Findikoglu) with gold chains and red rectangular glasses.
“Morning,” she captioned her post. Well, we’re awake now!

OK EmRata, we see you. The new mom is arguably the queen of the floss bikini after her line popularized the look last summer. Here, she poses in a promo post for the Las Olas bikini, which features tons of slinky ties all around her hips and stomach.
“OUR FAV GiRL iN OUR FAV SUiT! The Las Olas in SATiN! Shop the softest swim fabric with a perfect amount of summer sheen,” the account captioned Emily’s sexy look.
This is the OG floss bikini, and a great option if you’re looking to embrace the trend!

Kylie Jenner is making a splash to tease the launch of her new line, Kylie Swim. In honor of the occasion, she modeled a multicolored pink and yellow tie-dye monokini held together by criss-cross details on Instagram. Trust the Kar-Jenners to take the floss trend to the next level!
In the post, the newly pregnant star sips on a drink while enjoying her Hot Girl summer. “Coming soon,” she wrote underneath the same photo on the brand’s Twitter account.

But the floss bikini trend doesn’t have to mean bikini only.
Just ask singer Dua Lipa, who stepped out last month in an exaggerated orange blazer, which she paired with an ultra-sexy black criss-cross top. The “Future Nostalgia” singer spotlighted her bejeweled floss bikini on IG-and between the crystal-embellished flower detailing and Dua’s rock hard abs, we’re sold on this style.
Which version of the floss bikini is your favorite?
