Lizzo’s bikini and matching face mask balance safety with sex appeal

Truth hurts: Beach season is going to look a little different this year, due to COVID-19.

But Lizzo seems to have discovered the solution for enjoying pool parties and beach days without sacrificing safety or style, posing on Instagram over the weekend in a “pankini” (yes, as in “pandemic bikini”) from Thick by Robyn.

“Welcome to summer 2020,” the Grammy winner, 32, captioned her snap.

Priced at $180, Lizzo’s pink tropical-print two-piece is really more like a five-piece, since it comes complete with a matching face mask and gloves. Unsurprisingly, the set swiftly sold out after the star posted her pic.

The “Juice” hitmaker also shared a video of herself twerking in the skimpy suit (sans mask), captioned with one of her signature body-positive affirmations. “Go look in the mirror. That body *is* your summer body,” she wrote.

Lizzo’s Thick by Robyn suit is right in line with the “trikini” trend of bikinis bundled with matching face masks, a concept created by Italian designer Tiziana Scaramuzzo of Elexa Beachwear that began as a joke but soon became a real-life hit.
