Is it just us, or do all of our favourite celebrities seem to be sunning themselves somewhere far-flung and fabulous at the moment?! While we're heroically battling our way through the January blues here in grey, rainy and freezing England, the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber cleverly had the foresight to spend what is undoubtedly the most miserable month of the year on a tropical island somewhere far, far away. No, we're not jealous at all...
There is an upside for us, though – and that's the fact that this means bikini szn is kicking off early. Yep, celebrity beach holidays mean a whole lotta swimwear pics for us to feast our eyes on, and that's exactly what we need as we're shivering our bums off at home and plotting our next chance to get the hell outta here.
And the latest celeb to get us in the mood for a sunny holiday of our own is Amelia Gray Hamlin, who has shared pics with her 1.5 million followers of herself living her very best beach life.
If you're not already familiar with the 22-year-old model, then it's about time you catch up because we're pretty sure she's set to be one of the biggest standout fashion stars of 2024. And her latest outfits on Insta only prove our point...
Posing on a gorge sandy white beach at sunset, Amelia looks absolutely stunning in a see-through black crochet dress with a plunging neckline and nothing but a string bikini bottom on underneath. Yep, freeing the nip is still in for 2024, it seems – and we're totally here for it.
Her long-sleeve sheer crochet dress is a design from Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman's brand Monday Swimwear, that specialises in stylish bikinis for big boobs as well as super chic beach clothes.
Conveniently, Monday is now stocked at Selfridges – but if you want to get your hands on Amelia's exact dress, you'll have to shop directly from the brand's website.
Amelia completed her stylish holiday look with a designer beach bag that we just can't get enough of: a straw and leather basket design by Givenchy. That, however, might take a little longer to save up for... Just in time for the summer hols, perhaps?
