2026 might have only just begun, but Bella Hadid has already proven that capri pants work all year round, and that the exposed thong trend never left. Now, the model appears to be taking a much deserved vacation, during which she made a case for wearing lingerie as swimwear.

In one Instagram post, Hadid could be seen enjoying breakfast on a yacht, and wearing a number of different swimwear outfits. In one particular snap, the Ôrəbella founder wore a pair of $4,300 Saint Laurent Pleated Lingerie Shorts in Silk Crepe Muslin, which she styled with a white bikini top.

Hadid wore her hair in long messy beach waves, and accessorized her outfit with several bangle bracelets.
