New boob-baring bikini trend emerges at Miami Swim Week 2024

A new swimwear design that is so racy it is being confused for “sexy” underwear has just emerged at this year’s Miami Swim Week.

Australian beaches are about to be filled with women wearing boob-baring bikinis, after the flesh-flashing new swimwear trend took over a recent catwalk show.

Unlike the standard triangle bikini tops we’re all accustomed to, which flash a cheeky amount of chest, this new variation has been designed to show off as much bust as possible while still covering the wearer’s nipple – and therefore saving themselves from being charged with indecent exposure.

The revealing new bikini trend recently debuted at Miami Swim Week 2024, an annual industry event known for predicting and setting the trends of the upcoming year, proving it’s not going to be long until the daring boob-baring swimmers hit our shores.

Berry Beachy Swimwear featured a number of the revealing new bikinis, which are characterised by exposed “underwire”, a sexy trend that also swept the lingerie world recently.

Alexa Collins, an American model who walked in the brand’s runway show, was photographed wearing a silver number, which featured a thin bar across her bust, with the wire encasing her breasts.

The bottoms were equally as tiny, and matched the sparkly fabric of the bra.

Fans of the model, who has 2.7 million followers on Instagram, were quick to praise the look after she shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos.

“The heat has arrived,” one declared, as another raved: “A pure goddess.”

“That’s so cute,” someone else wrote.

While one said: “Love the lingerie.”

“Such a sexy bikini, is it meant to be worn as lingerie?” agreed another.

It wasn’t the only lingerie-style swimmers that were seen on the runway, with many models rocking the new style in an array of different colours and patterns, this time created by Olivia London Swimwear.

One model was seen in a gold version off the eye-popping cossie, which featured small triangles that covered the bottom half of her bust.

While another wore a similar Olivia London Swimwear number in a striking yellow and turquoise.

Another skimpy take featured an additional cut out on the bottom of the bust, giving a glimpse of “underboob” on the already racy new design.

Despite being the definition of “barely-there” swimwear, the two-pieces don’t come cheap, with Olivia London Swimwear selling its boob-baring bikini for $US375, which converts to roughly $A565.

According to the brand’s website, the bikinis are “made to order” and are hand beaded with coloured stones.

The risque style is so popular, it is currently “sold out”, but is available to purchase on pre-order.

It’s not the only raunchy new swimwear trend to emerge at Miami Swim Week this year, with multiple designers unveiling the “rosette bikini” – two-piece togs which feature statement flowers across the bust instead of the standard bra.
