Ciara has impressed us time and time again with her maternity style since announcing her third pregnancy in January 2020 [1]. She's modelled a whole handful of looks [2] on Instagram, which you might even call sexy or bold, like a bandeau and matching tightfitting skirt [3], revealing her beautiful bump during a selfie shoot. Ciara is pure proof that a maternity glow is inspiring, and her fashion sense invites her to show it off to the world — this time in a neutral fringed bikini with a braided neckline.
The look brings us straight back to those playful bikini tops we wore in the early 2000s. Were we always a tad bit apprehensive about how added details such as beading and tassels might weigh us down after taking a dip in the ocean? Sure, but the decorative look was certainly on-trend — and that was good enough reason to go for it.
Russell Wilson [4] took these glamour shots of Ciara, who accessorised with a stack of gold bangles, rings, and her cross pendant necklace. Scroll down to catch another glimpse of the mom-to-be basking in the sun, then shop some similar suit styles we found. As it turns out, fringe is not just a swim trend of the past, so go on and help Ciara bring it back. We're game if you are.
