The search for that perfect, flattering, wear-everywhere bikini [1] seems to begin every summer, and it's oftentimes a more difficult shopping challenge than one would think. But hey, Hilary Duff [2] appears to have done it. The actress recently shared a shot of herself lounging on a rainbow pool float wearing comfortable and chic swimwear separates from Vitamin A.
Hilary, also a mom of two [3], funnily captioned the picturesque 'gram, "This.NEVER.happens." The exact bikini Hilary wore consists of a high-waisted, full-coverage bottom and ribbed bandeau top with detachable straps, which she then accessorised with glittery Saint Laurent sunglasses that seem borrowed from Elton John's closet.
At $132 for the bottom and $105 for the top, the bikini is a bit of a splurge, but the good news is Vitamin A's organic textiles are built to last, and the sustainable brand is intent on reducing its eco-footprint [4] by using more energy-efficient, local factories, among other practices. Shop Hilary's black bikini ahead, then browse a few similar, but more affordable, options.
