A critically acclaimed singer, actress and dancer, BLACKPINK’s Jennie is now adding “designer” to her impressive resume with her latest collaboration with Frankies Bikinis.
The “Like Jennie” singer codesigned an extensive line of ultra-cute apparel with the brand’s creative director Francesca Aiello that includes printed bikinis and one-pieces ready for wading in the waves this summer, along with cozy hoodies, zip-ups, colorful top and color-blocked low-cut bottoms. The collection dropped Thursday (April 2) and is available to shop on Frankies Bikinis’ website.
Pricing ranges from $85 to $195. Each piece seems to focus on a laid-back aesthetic. Beachy cover-ups give way to swimwear and date night-ready dresses that scream “cool girl” because everyone wants to be like Jennie. While there’s a lot to look at — around 50 pieces — we have some favorites that we’ve linked to shop below.
Some of our favorites include an adorable Venus Cotton Top in the shade Rose for $95. The piece is made of breezy cotton with long sleeves and a rounded, plunging neckline. A collaborative star graphic is affixed to the front of the top, reading “Frankies Bikinis Jennie.” This is an everyday piece with a flattering form fit in a colorway we think will flatter most, if not all, who buy this shirt. They especially look good with the Eva Cotton Mini Shorts from the collection for $95 that also comes in a rosy hue, although, our favorite is the muted blue in the shade comet. The shorts are extremely mini, sitting low on the hips. They’re extremely cheeky and form-fitting, prepped for layering over your favorite bikini.
Speaking of bikinis, the Ari reversible style from the collection is to die for. Both the top and bottom retail for $95 each and come in a unique leopard print style that can be inverted, revealing an equally cute black and white striped style beneath. It’s like getting two bikinis for the price of one. If you’re more of a one-piece person, the collection also features a ton of styles with more coverage, such as the Lotus swimsuit in black, retailing for $180. The piece is your standard high-cut swimwear in the front with spaghetti straps, but turn the style around and you’ll find the swimwear has a low-cut back with tons of personality.
From night to day, we have the Briar Knit Halter Top, which retails for $110 and comes in a pastel yellow morning light hue with a plunging neckline. The top is made of a comfortable stretch fabric that is form-fitted, snatching up your waist. There’s also the Kim Mini Dress in coconut cream available for $130. This is a long sleeve style made of a sheer cream-colored fabric. The sheer moment is great for layering, but can also be worn solo over a cute bra and panties for a sexy moment. We’d also wear this piece as a beach cover-up in a pinch.
Venus Cotton Top in Rose
This top is made of breathable cotton and comes in a deep red hue. The front is affixed with a cobranded star reading “Frankies Bikinis Jennie.”
Eva Cotton Mini Shorts in Comet
These are micro shorts made of a breathable cotton fabric. The stretchy shorts sit low on the hips and feature a cheeky cut.
Lotus One-Piece Swimsuit in Black
The front of this one-piece is pretty normal, but the back is all party. The back is plunging and features interesting criss-crossing straps.
Ari Reversible Bikini Top in Marrakesh
This bikini top is reversible, as the name suggests, going from a leopard print to a striped pattern. The top is a halter style that ties in the back.
Elena Reversible Bikini Bottom in Marrakesh
Like the top, these Elena bottoms are also reversible. The style ties on the sides and can be adjusted like the top.
Briar Knit Halter Top in Morning Light
Butter yellow is an extremely popular hue. The colorway was translated into this Briar halter top with a sensual plunging neckline.
