Strappy swimsuits gave the classic bikini a modern update.
Floral bathing suits made way for beach wear in neutral shades.
Cutouts, ruffles, puffed sleeves and belted waistlines are now part of swimwear.
Now, the upside down bikini -- it's been around since 2018 when Italian model Valentina Fradegrada came up with the bizarre idea -- is winning over the celebrity world once again.
Supermodels Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski and Elsa Hosk have all been spotted wearing it.
