The beachside snaps captured the supermodel lounging on a striped reclining chair while wearing a stringy triangle bikini from swimwear brand Tropic of C. Hadid’s set featured a colourful psychedelic pattern in coral, maroon, orange, and white. She accessorised the summery look with a long gold chain and diamond pendant necklace from J’aime and a chunky gold chain choker adorned with multiple charms. She kept her glam natural and sun-kissed, then styled her platinum blonde hair in long beachy waves.
In one photo, the Guest in Residence founder lies down slightly on her side, revealing a large faded tattoo of a dragon. She nodded to the ink in her caption, writing, “mornin! 🐉.”
