Reality star and business mogul, Kylie Jenner, recently turned heads as she flaunted a vintage Chanel bikini on her sun-soaked vacation. The $5,500 embellished swimsuit, originally from Chanel’s spring 1995 collection, was previously worn by supermodel Claudia Schiffer on the runway.
In a series of sizzling Instagram photos posted on Sunday, May 18, Kylie can be seen lounging in a red triangle top bikini adorned with crystal embellishments, paired with thong bottoms. Her dark, flowing hair styled in effortless waves added to the glamour of the look. Alongside the pictures, she captioned, “no place i’d rather beeee <3."
The luxurious bikini, considered a “collector’s item,” was last sold for $5,499 on 1st Dibs. During the 1995 fashion season, the iconic swimsuit was also showcased by other supermodels like Naomi Campbell, who wore a pink version of the same design.
This isn’t the first time Kylie has caught attention with this timeless piece. In April 2024, she shared vacation snapshots donning the black iteration of the Chanel bikini while posing against a scenic backdrop.
Notably, Claudia Schiffer, who originally sported the bikini alongside fellow model Helena Christensen in the ’90s, lauded Kylie’s fashion choice in a nostalgic Instagram post. The 54-year-old supermodel couldn’t help but show her approval, commending Kylie for her vintage Chanel style.
The Kardashian-Jenner family vacation featured Kylie, her children Stormi and Aire, and her sister Kendall Jenner, enjoying quality time at the beach. The Instagram posts shared by Kylie captured intimate moments with her children, including mother-daughter matching black bikini ensembles.
In addition to the classic red bikini, Kylie has also flaunted a variety of stylish swimwear during her vacation, from floral-patterned string bikinis to metallic gold swimsuits. Her sunny getaway has been filled with beachside relaxation and trendy fashion statements.
As fans eagerly anticipate Kylie’s next fashion move, her choice of the vintage Chanel bikini has undoubtedly set a high bar for poolside glamour. Stay tuned for more updates on Kylie Jenner’s vacation escapades and fashion moments.
