Kylie Jenner set the internet ablaze earlier this summer when she shared the details of her boob job on TikTok. “Now I’m one step closer to getting Kylie’s body,” we all joked. But today, I come bearing great news. As it turns out, you don’t have to go under the knife to get her buxom look, because Jenner is teaming up with Frankies Bikinis to bring back the push-up bra in bikini form.
Today, Khy (Jenner’s fashion brand) and Frankies Bikinis launched their collaboration—and they gave yours truly the exclusive. “I’ve been wearing [Frankies Bikinis] pieces for years, and always found the styles so flattering and comfortable,” Jenner tells ELLE.com via email. “When it came to [Khy’s] first swim collaboration, teaming up with Francesca and Frankies Bikinis felt like the perfect fit.”
Francesca Aiello, who launched Frankies Bikinis alongside her mom in 2012, echoed that. “I’ve admired Khy since the moment it launched,” she said. “Kylie has created something truly beautiful and intentional.” It was a match made in swimwear heaven, with both social media darlings saying it felt natural to work together—“like two girls dreaming up their perfect swim drawer,” Aiello said in a press release. (For those keeping track, Frankies Bikinis dropped a collab with Bella Hadid earlier this year, too.)
The collection introduces Cloud Cups—Jenner and Aiello’s re-imagination of the padded push-up top. “Francesca and I were inspired by the classic elegance of vintage lingerie and the confident vibe of bombshell swimwear,” Jenner said. Aiello, who suspects the imminent return of push-ups, adds, “It’s not about being overly sexy, but about creating silhouettes that make you feel confident and lifted.”
How would I describe the pieces? Seductive. And fit for the next season of Love Island, which by the way, Jenner is obsessed with. (You two have something in common!) There are polka dots, lace trim, leopard print, and satin across six bikini top styles and four bottom silhouettes. “I feel like this collection is the perfect mix of sweet and sexy,” Jenner says. And for your time spent on land, the line also includes limited-edition minidresses and coordinating separates. “The variety of prints and silhouettes allows you to try different aesthetics, like the playful polka dots or the more romantic leopard and lace. Summer is such a fun time to express yourself through style, and to embrace your inner sexiness and confidence,” says Jenner.
And speaking of confidence, where the heck can I get some? I asked the two for their best big-sister advice on the topic. “Choose pieces that truly make you feel good,” Jenner suggests. “I think that when you feel comfortable and supported, your confidence shines through.” Follow this tip and, according to Aiello, “you’ll honestly radiate. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, that confidence naturally becomes the sexiest part.”
Because I was raised on original YouTube influencers, I somehow find a way to ask for a “what’s in my bag” by the end of nearly every interview. This time, at least, it made sense. In Kylie’s beach tote, you’ll find sunglasses, a digital camera, headphones, sunscreen, and Kylie Cosmetics’ Lip Butter. And in Aiello’s: EltaMD SPF, a hairbrush with coconut oil, Rhode face mist, chapstick with SPF, and finally, “I always bring a big Hydro Flask filled with hibiscus iced tea and honey.” So refreshing!
