Gigi Hadid Just Wore the Most Elegant Bikini Trend of Summer 2024
There's something about Gigi. No matter what the mega model wears, she makes us want to do the same. From cashmere sweaters to sporty sneakers, Hadid mixes everyday staples with of-the-moment trends and makes it look easy.
Recently, Hadid posted a selfie on Instagram showing off a chic black balconette bikini with a burnt-sienna sarong and white Crocs. It's probably the most low-key, unfiltered look we've seen from the 29-year-old model and mom, but that doesn't mean it is any less influential.
Swimwear trends come and go, but black bikinis will forever be in style. Keep scrolling for nine black balconette bikini tops (and matching bottoms, if you want 'em) to wear this summer. The Crocs are optional.
