Australian model Bella Lucia stuns in tiny bikini photo on Instagram

A 25-year-old model and mother-of-one has left very little to the imagination after she shared a snap posing in a “itsy bitsy” bikini.

Revealing upside down bikini trend takes over social media

Aussie model Belle Lucia has left very little to the imagination after she shared an Instagram selfie wearing a tiny, string bikini.

The 25-year-old from Sydney, who gave birth to her first child in 2019, racked up more than 50,000 ‘likes’ on her post which showed the new mum flaunting her fit figure.

Fans were left somewhat speechless, leaving a bunch of fire and stunned emojis on her bathroom selfie.

It’s safe to say it’s called a “micro” kini for a reason with the bottoms showing a barely visible string that rests on the hips.

The matching top also features the same thin straps which crisscross around the neck, leaving room for an ample amount of cleavage.

The brand behind the $77.40 set is Oh Polly – a label Belle regularly models for and one that is known for its racy swimsuits.

“Itsy bitsy teenie weenie,” Belle rightfully captioned her image and video where she shows off the set in various angles.

And it didn’t take long for some of her 1.3 million followers to comment, with many leaving fire emojis.

“You’re glowing,” one person wrote.

“Stunning,” said another, while a third added “hot dayuuuuum”.

The half-German, half-Portuguese model, who gave birth to her son in October 2019, has copped criticism over her body during and after giving birth.

In one post, she left some fans utterly confused after she shared a photo in a bikini showing off her six-month baby bump.

The 25-year-old captioned the image: “Beach and bump” with the hashtags “23 weeks pregnant” and “six months bump”.

While many appeared baffled by Bella’s baby bump, some quickly came to her defence.

“Interesting how our bodies are different. At 6 months I was huuuge. You look elegantly pregnant,” one woman said.

It’s not the first time Belle’s bump has been questioned, as the model claims she was forced to delete her ultrasound post as people were being “creepy and rude”.

Her baby bump was branded “tiny”, but Belle hit out at her haters.

Posting on her Instagram story at the time, she wrote: “As you can see, women show very differently but are all carrying a little life.

“Just because I’m not showing as much as you like doesn’t mean my pregnancy is ‘unhealthy’ or that I’m promoting a ‘skinny’ pregnancy.

“It’s just my body and I can’t help it if it doesn’t look the same as other women.

“Body shaming is not okay no matter how ‘big’ or ‘small’ someone is.”

In a separate post after giving birth, her followers were amazed by her weight loss after just one week.

The lingerie model said that she wasn’t trying to lose weight.

“I haven’t done anything to lose weight apart from breastfeed. It’s just happened naturally,” she told one fan, adding that “everyone’s journey is different”.

After having her son, who is almost one, Belle said she just focused on feeling healthy and strong.

The 25-year-old is currently living in London with her partner and baby boy, having recently

blasted the federal government’s “double standards” for allowing the “rich” a hall pass into the country.

“So if you’re a rich tennis player no problem getting into the country. If you’re an Australian citizen with an almost expired visa with a baby, then no,” she wrote in January, referring to the Australian Open.

“Also, it’s mandatory to do two weeks hotel quarantine but a lot of tennis players get practice time outdoors which is another double standard.”
