From Dua Lipa’s useless ‘fried egg’ bra to Kourtney’s upside down swimsuit, the most unusual celeb bikinis of 2021

WHILE many of us have been stuck at home in loungewear for most of the year, our favourite celebs have been only too happy to show off their bikini bodies in somewhat sunnier surroundings.

Whether lounging by a pool or sunbathing on the sand, these shapely stars have shown us how to holiday like a ­true hottie.

We take a look at the best bikinis of 2021, ranging from the wispiest to the wackiest.

Most Useless

SHE always goes for sunny side up – but this time Dua Lipa looks like she is actually wearing a fried egg on her chest.

Her bikini, which also features a marijuana plant and a rainbow, has been crocheted, so if she goes for a dip, the yolk will be on her.

Best Wrong Way Up

PLENTY of influencers and celebrities embraced a bizarre new trend this year – deliberately wearing their bikini tops the wrong way up.

It may sound slightly bonkers, but Kourtney Kardashian amply demonstrates the upside in joining the fashion-flipping trend.

Best Hey, We’re Back Bikini

TAKE a bow, J-Lo.

The pop star and actress wore this ridiculously hot ensemble not just to show off her ­amazingly toned body but to announce she and Ben Affleck were back together.

So it’s J-Lo – and behold.

Best Workout Kit

WHO needs Lycra leggings and sports bras when you can save time by wearing just your bikini for a workout?

Not only can Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger admire her muscle tone while lifting weights, but she can nip off for ­a cooling dip straight afterwards.

Cheekiest

VICTORIA Beckham posted this snap as a cheeky way to promote a new beauty product ahead of its launch in October – but the singer teased fans by leaving them guessing whose bum it really was.

She wrote: “Is this my Cheeky Posh? Whether it’s me or not, I’m totally claiming it.”

Best Accessories

AND the winner is . . . singer Lizzo, for managing to match her bright, tassled two-piece with an equally outlandish furry stole.

So that’s what the rapper’s like without the, er, wrapper.

Most Zen

MOVIE beauty Salma Hayek lets it all wash over her in a classic black number, striking a peaceful, cross-legged pose in a moment of serenity that happens now and Zen.

Most Age - defying

IT’S hard to believe Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone is 63 – especially in this gloriously youthful crop top and high-waisted combo

They show off her amazing figure to the full in a splash of sunshine yellow.
