Although summer has officially started, most of us in the UK have accepted the fate of a few more chillier-than-we-would-like days ahead. Luckily for celebrities, they don't necessarily have the same deal. With the ability to jet across the globe at a moment's notice, the stars have been seeking some respite from temperamental weather in the northern hemisphere in the form of boating adventures and warm alfresco evenings on their first getaways of the year. And with our own warm weather days finally here, the celebs' first 2024 trips have provided us with some valuable beachwear-trend information, which I've collated below.
From slinky cover-ups to trending bikini styles, read on to discover the celebrity beachwear trends to jump on in 2024.
What Celebrities are Wearing to the Beach in 2024
1. TRIANGLE BIKINIS + GOLD EARRINGS
Style Notes: The triangle bikini is the celebrity-approved swimwear shape that comes back year after year. Update this year's versions with chunky gold earrings and opt for a playful print to boost your hoilday mood.
Shop the Look:
A playful twist on the classic stripe bikini for your summer getaways.
Whether you wear these to the beach or the office, they'll elevate any outfit—even if it's a bikini.
2. MINIMAL COVER-UPS
Style Notes: Elevate your poolside ensemble by swapping an oversized cover-up for a silky dress. The lightweight fabric will keep you cool on a blistering day whilst an elegant cut will have you feeling your best. For a playful edge, style with a beaded necklace to make this wardrobe staple beach-ready.
Shop the Look:
Layer with lashings of gold jewellery or wear on its own.
Dress up this versatile slip with heels or make it more casual with simple strappy sandals.
3. BROWN TONES
Style Notes: The brown colour trend is sticking around for summer 2024, and this universally flattering shade looks even chicer by the sea. From soft latte shades to deep espresso browns, style the trending tone with gold jewellery and light linen, just like the celebs.
Shop the Look:
Underwired bikinis offer extra support to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
Medium coverage briefs are ideal for all-day wear.
4. CROCHET FABRICS
Style Notes: Take your co-ord efforts up a level and match your hat to your cover-up. On a recent trip to Bora Bora, model Sara Sampaio did just that, styling a crochet cover-up with a crochet-brimmed hat for a casual look drenched in effortless style.
Shop the Look:
Bring your own shade.
Layer over a black bikini or a V-neck one-piece.
4. COLOURFUL PIPING
Style Notes: Bikinis trimmed with piping are set to be one of the biggest swimwear trends of the summer. This week, Hailey Bieber got ahead of the game, wearing a green and yellow set with a crochet bucket hat during her sun-soaked trip.
Shop the Look:
Style with the matching bottoms or co-ordinate with shorts for extra coverage.
The contrast hems and beaded details add a playful touch to this staple style.
5. CHIC CO-ORDS
Style Notes: When day turns to night, layer a coordinating skirt set over your bikini for an elevated take on holiday eveningwear.
Shop the Look:
Style with the matching skirt or experiment with beachy wide-leg trousers.
In my opinion, there's nothing chicer for summer than a matching set in a beautiful print.
