Emily Ratajkowski just revived a bikini style that perhaps was trending in the 2020s, bringing it back with her midriff floss moment. And the bikini is one hot girl summer style that few can dare to carry. The model and businesswoman shared pictures from her holidays, and well, one couldn’t help but love her “flosskini”, or “floss bikini”, that featured straps wrapped around her torso. And, for those wondering about the name, it’s a bikini that features tiny strings wrapping around various parts of the body, criss-crossing all around the torso and back. Emily has been one of the few who loves this bikini trend. Her photo dump showed her wearing versions of this super-hot bikini.

One of her bikinis featured the good old polka dots in black and white. She was also seen sporting the same “floss bikini”, but in a different print in orange. She accessorised her look with a stack of gold bangles and a delicate necklace with a pendant.

She also had a version of this bikini in leopard print, bringing another bold pattern into the mix. The look feels very much in keeping with Emily’s approach to beach dressing, where a classic bikini is rarely left alone and is instead given a little something extra. This time, it is the tiny strings that do all the talking, wrapping around her waist and torso and giving the otherwise simple swimwear a much more daring finish.

For those wondering, midriff floss is one of those early-2000s trends that keeps coming back. The look features thin strings that start at the waistband and cross over the stomach, adding a playful, skin-baring detail. It was a favourite among noughties stars including Lucy Liu and Christina Aguilera. Designers such as Christopher Esber and Supriya Lele have previously incorporated the trend into their collections. Supermodel Bella Hadid has also been seen sporting the look. What Emily has done, and continues to do, is take it with her for her beach and pool days. And it’s a masterclass in showing how a few strings can turn one outfit into a statement piece.

Whether worn in classic black and white polka dots, a bright orange print or leopard spots, the floss bikini is certainly not a shy swimwear choice. It is playful, revealing and a little nostalgic, bringing back a very specific kind of noughties fashion energy. And if anyone can make a handful of strings look like a fully fledged fashion moment, it is Emily Ratajkowski.
