Take a seat, whip out a pencil and notebook, and be prepared to get educated on the art of #SummerGoals, courtesy of Professor Alicia Keys [1]. Step 1: inflate an oversize unicorn pool float [2] (yes, they're somehow still popular this year). Step 2: slip into a sexy swimsuit [3]. Step 3: hop aboard your magical inflatable, smile for the camera, and 'gram away.
Alicia just provided a flawless example for executing those three steps when she shared a series of summery swimsuit snaps [4] on Instagram. Wearing a one-piece so revealing, it practically could've passed as a bikini, the 38-year-old singer showed off her curves while floating atop a colourful floatie. Her black bathing suit featured contrasting white straps and major side cutouts. In the famous words of Alicia herself, "This girl is on fire!"
Ahead, scroll through Alicia's Instagram gallery to fully admire her cutout one-piece, then shop similar styles for yourself.
