SourceHot! or Hmm… Adrienne Bailon’s Empire Girls Miami Monokini
Adrienne Bailon was spotted on a Miami beach alongside Julissa Bermudez, filming for their upcoming reality show Empire Girls. The former 3lw frontwoman was rocking a very… interesting monokini for the occasion. The high-cut, space-age contraption features a gold ring, strong shoulders, and little peplum flaps at the waist.
Maybe I’m just old school, or a lazy beach dresser, but this seems like a lot of look just to get some sun & sea. The swimsuit sleeves make her look a little stocky, and the thick hoops and embellished shades are a bit much. I guess she felt she needed to be stylin’, because she’s filming, but she could have gone with a less dramatic maillot and still looked camera-ready.
…But maybe you guys have a different opinion.

Splurge: Rihanna’s Coachella Agent Provocateur Zandy Bikini
Rihanna hit the stage at Coachella, but she also spent some time working on her tan. She snapped a pic of herself in a $270 Agent Provocateur Zandy Bikini Bra and $220 Zandy Bikini Briefs:
She gave her poolside-ready look a pop of color with cherry red lips.
Her bikini top gives the look of denim, but is actually crafted from stretch cotton. It is inspired by Daisy Duke and features lightly padded underwire cups which are styled like jean pockets.
Her low-slung bikini briefs give the same look and feature jeans styling with a lace-up and button fly, belt loops and a two-tone effect pocket and trim.
Though you can’t get this wet, this bikini is definitely cute! Rih Rih and denim…the saga continues!
You can get her bikini at www.agentprovocateur.com.
