Selena Gomez has been the talk of the town lately, and not just because of her recent break from boyfriend Justin Bieber. The starlet has been living life to the fullest in one amazing outfit after the next. After showing off her street style chops in a denim-on-denim look and a cozy blue cardigan, Selena took a much-needed vacation in Sydney, Australia.

The singer caught some rays with friends on a luxury yacht while wearing a sexy string bikini. Selena used one of our favorite swimwear hacks by mixing an orange bikini top with a pair of cheeky black bottoms. Selena proudly posted an Instagram video with a powerful caption calling out society's beauty norms. Read on to see all angles of her string bikini, and buy similar versions of her swimsuit ahead.
