Kim Kardashian won't let you forget that she's queen of the bikini pics.
Yesterday, the reality and star and fashion mogul started off the long holiday weekend with a new set of swimwear pics, captured on a sparkling blue beach. In the three pics, the star stands in front of the waves while striking a cheeky pose and flinging her hair out of her face. As for the suit, the Skims founder wears her brand's swim triangle top and teeny bottoms, both colored turquoise to match the clear waters.
"Just a reminder 💎," she captioned the pics.
The Skims founder modeled a similar bikini from her shapewear brand's swim line earlier this month, posting a series of pics where she lounged poolside in the hot pink Barbiecore-inspired iteration of the two-piece suit. She also shared the swimsuit spotlight with younger sister Kylie Jenner in a post from February, where the two sisters matched in triangle black bikinis while kneeling on a lounge chair by the pool.
While fans have been sharing their love for the new turquoise bikini pics in the comments, several have also pointed out that the color's reminiscent of a classic Keeping Up With the Kardashians moment, where Kim lost her diamond earring while swimming with the sea. (This is also where the ever-enduring "Kim, there's people that are dying," meme from Kourtney.)
In a recent June 22 episode of The Kardashians, the Skims mogul revealed that she hasn’t bought new jewelry in seven years, following the high-profile Paris robbery in 2016. She said in her confessional that harrowing night changed the way she saw material items.
“After I was robbed in Paris, I haven’t bought jewelry,” she explained. “I haven’t really been about wearing jewelry, because when it was taken from me — I didn’t know I was ready for that experience of what that meant but I was — I was ready to give it up.”
She added that the nicest piece of jewelry she currently owns is a black-and-white diamond cross necklace that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana gave her before their Milan show in September 2022, adding that the piece helped her recover from those feelings.
“This symbolized to me more than just getting a diamond cross necklace,” she said. “This brought a piece of my glamour back to me, and that’s why it's so special that I got it back from a really meaningful experience.”
