Haley Beaver striped bikini that broke the internet

Less than 24 hours after appearing at the 2024 Fashion Trust US Awards, Haley swapped red carpet grams for poolside minimalism. Posing in front of a mirror in La Quinta, California, the model flaunted a zebra print bikini from C’s Tropic, the Eco-scucious Swimwear brand co-founded by Candice Swanepoel. Her version of “Zebra Driftwood” entitled “C Bralette” and “C Bottom” feature black stripes of ivory and was cut with minimalist silhouettes that place the central stage of her figure.

Looks cheeky

The bralette boasted a low square neckline and daisy strap, but the cheeky bottom was delicately tied at each hip with cord straps. Both pieces are made of sustainable matte fabric, consisting of regenerated nylon and elastane. This is a blend approved by Haley of style and conscience. The shots didn’t see accessories, but given her recent affinity for flip-flops in the row, fans speculate that she might have slipped into them after snapping.

From leopards to zebra
Haley was one of many A-listers who wore leopard prints throughout the winter. He joined the ranks of her friends Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez. However, her latest striped appearance suggests that she is leading a charge into Zebra’s territory. Fashion Shift first gained traction in March with celebrities like Elsa Hosk and Jennifer Lawrence. And now Haley’s stamp of approval is gaining great momentum.
Of course, the model’s exact bikini colorways are already sold out. This is a common consequence when spotlighting something on social media. Still, Tropic of C offers similar options in a variety of prints and cuts, giving fashion fans a shot that emulates her effortlessly cool poolside aesthetics.

A few days before Haley’s striped post, Justin cried out to the photographer, creating a headline that looked significantly upset. His unsettling Instagram livestream seemed to have been gay and emotionally drained, but only deepened the fear of the fans.
