It's already bikini season — at least according to Hailey Bieber [1], who hit the beach in Cabo on Feb. 28 wearing a bikini trend that you likely remember from the early aughts. Not only was the 26-year-old supermodel's Skims three-piece swimsuit a neon lime green, which could be spotted from miles away, but it also featured boy shorts with a fold-over waistline. As soon as she took a dip, the sheer material revealed a matching thong bottom [2] underneath, although she treated her micro-mini shorts as swimsuit bottoms all on their own, jumping in and out of the water with ease. Bieber styled the beachside outfit with little more than a bright-red New York Yankees baseball cap from New Era and her go-to gold hoop earrings from Jennifer Fisher.
Bieber is currently vacationing on a girls' trip amid a flurry of social media chatter about her feud with Selena Gomez [3]. Though she has remained quite silent on the topic as it's gained steam, Gomez's fans have been commenting on all of Bieber's recent Instagram shares with "#teamselena" and "rarebeauty," which is Gomez's makeup line. However, just a few days ago, it was reported that Bieber temporarily limited comments [4] on her posts due to the frenzy.
Bieber often leans into the late '90s and early aughts [5] when it comes to fashion, so it's no surprise that she carried out this retro "fold-over" look. She's a big fan of low-rise jeans [6], micro minidresses [7], baby tees [8], and bucket hats [9], to name a few. In fact, when she posted some throwback photos from her 2021 Jamaica getaway with Kendall Jenner, she was wearing a green thong bikini [10] that was similar to her most recent look, so perhaps she was feeling inspired by her trip down memory lane.
