Kate Upton Found the Best Bikini For Striking That Model Pose

Kate Upton is vacationing in Turks and Caicos with her fiancé Justin Verlander, and she took some time to pose in the ocean in a halter-style bikini. The cut is pretty classic — there's no fancy business here — but it's the cobalt shade of the suit that strikes us. Bella Hadid recently wore a similar design in Dubai, leading us to believe that the supermodels are onto something.

Choosing a two-piece in bright blue or indigo might just be the key to nailing that perfect model shot — the one that looks straight out of an editorial thanks to really, really pretty surroundings. Scroll to see how the flattering color of Kate's bikini highlights the clear waters behind her and adds that much more oomph to the obligatory beach photo that belongs on every girl's feed. Then, take a note and shop for swimsuits in similar tones. We promise, there will be brighter Instagram days ahead.
