The temperature is getting hotter and so are the fashion statements as June kicks off summer. For many celebrities, their go-to summer style staples will be bikinis at forthcoming pool parties, beach bashes, trendy red carpets and concert stages.
Simple flip-flops are perfectly sensible options for teaming with a bikini, but there are many clever alternatives that can elevate a full head-to-toe look.
Jennifer Lopez looked chic last year with a colorful Emilio Pucci jacket and matching bikini top teamed with strappy nude Gucci sandals at Drai’s rooftop party in Las Vegas.
Though the nude color didn’t compete with the hues of her top, the entertainer opted for a sleek style with a braided T-bar silhouette that incorporated hardware around the ankle strap.
