Take a quick scroll through Maddie's Instagram, and you'll be blessed with cute bikinigrams from both the set of Outer Banks and her life before becoming a breakout Netflix star. Her IRL bathing suit style offers a delightfully varied mix — she's got classics like a black string two-piece (don't we all?) and wild cards like a neon one-shoulder suit.
To honour our favourite member of the Pogue crew, we're breaking down Maddie's best swimsuit moments and styling tricks, plus where to score similar styles for yourself this summer. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we hereby declare Miss Madison Bailey the all-reigning Queen of Cute Swimsuits. *Slams imaginary gavel* Court dismissed.
