Jennifer Lopez served up next-level fashion last weekend. The multihyphenate skipped the 2021 Golden Globes in favor of a chill Sunday filled with sexy selfies that just about broke the Internet.

It’s been a minute since she blessed the ‘gram with a fire shot like this (above). Since it was posted on February 28, it’s racked up 5.5 million likes and counting, making it one of her most-liked Instagrams in recent months. She looks so good in her white high-cut one-piece from celeb-loved brand Heart of Sun. And her glowing skin was as dewy as ever, probably thanks to J.Lo Beauty.

Though we’re still several months away from swimwear season for most of the country, it’s never too early to prep your waterside wardrobe. If you’re not quite sure where to start, take cues from Lopez, because she just ushered in two of summer 2021’s biggest swimsuit trends that happen to be both sexy and controversial: white fabric and high-cut bottoms.

We love polarizing fashion trends because they spark opinions. But it’s pretty much fact that Lopez’s swimwear staple is best described by the flame emoji. A crisp white suit looks gorgeous against a sun-kissed tan — the only thing you should look out for is the thickness of the fabric, as some become sheer when wet.

The high-cut bottoms hearken back to the ’90s (think “Baywatch”). It’s a risqué silhouette that actually looks good on everybody; it just takes a little trial and error to find the high cut for you. Another plus of the daring cut? It creates the illusion of longer legs.

The brand behind Lopez’s one-piece is a supermodel favorite. Last summer, Bella Hadid shared a snap of herself in the gray version of the Heart of Sun one-piece — which means the high cut is also model-approved.
