Can you believe how good Nina Dobrev looked in this sexy bikini-gram the star posted in August? Best known for her starring role on “The Vampire Diaries”– and not so much for shocking us with sexy Instagrams — Nina definitely caught us off guard with this fun and flirty beach pic!
If you scroll through Nina’s official Instagram account, complete with a cool 16 million followers, you’ll find plenty of group photo snapshots and fitness videos that give us a glimpse into the young-at-heart, 29-year-old’s life. However, Nina shook things up a little bit with this posed post.
In a photograph taken looking over the actress’ shoulder, Nina sat in the sand wearing a black and white crochet bikini. She completed her perfect beach style with a pair of fun, round sunglasses and a wide-brim sun hat.
This unexpected bikini style made us instantly re-evaluate our own bathing suit collections, only to find we were seriously lacking a knit style. If you’re finding yourself in a similar situation, shop crochet bathing suits below!
