Blake Lively

Blake Lively’s Instagram is the only summer mood board you need. 

On April 8, the Lively—who welcomed her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds earlier this year—showed off multiple covetable swimwear looks that would be perfect for any beach-side getaway. In the first pic, the 35-year-old actor embraced maximalist prints and jewelry, pairing a mod-inspired string bikini by Follow Suit with a light-wash denim coverup and a bunch of dainty gold chains and chunky seashell necklaces. Gigi Hadid was a particular fan of this look, commenting, “She’s my favorite jewelry collector.”

For a bit of variety, Lively then switched out the overalls for a Free People maxi skirt in another statement print, proving that more is sometimes more. “She sells seashells down by the seashore,” Lively captioned the set of photos on Instagram, which also included some rare candids of her husband and other family members enjoying the ocean breeze.

However, it’s Blake Lively’s one-piece bathing suit that really caught my eye. In a fifth pic in the carousel, Lively posed in a black swimsuit with a massive ab-cutout that has single-handedly cured my bikini anxiety. There are many reasons one might avoid two-piece bathing suits, including the ever-present fear that the top will come undone in the water. With this chic, high-waisted look, those fears can be put to rest without covering everything up.
