“I honestly never understood what’s the big deal about wearing a bikini… it’s just a piece of garment like a t-shirt or a suit,” says celebrity stylist Rick Roy, who styles several A-list Bollywood divas. “The main thing you need to pay attention to is knowing your body… since it’s a garment designed to be just about minimal coverage,” he adds.

New-age stars are all about fitness and confidence – from Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alaya F, Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ananya Pandey to Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Raashii Khanna, Esha Gupta, and Mira Rajput, these beauties have stunned their social media followers with eye-catching swimwear pics in recent times.

So, next time you’re packing for a beach vacation, don’t shy away from adding your favourite bikini to your bag. If these stars can do it, so can you. Rick suggests us ways to carry off a bikini confidently without making a fool of ourselves. “There are no rules to wearing a bikini, except confidence. Know the style that suits your shape and also choose only what you’re comfortable wearing… nothing is worse than wearing a piece of garment that you cannot carry or are not comfortable in,” he shares.
