Chanel West Coast had her Instagram fans behind her as she showed off her gorgeous, postpartum curves in swimwear just one month after welcoming her baby girl in 2022. Following the November 2022 arrival of daughter Bowie Breeze, the TV star and rapper stripped down for a beach shoot promoting her Coasty Swim brand, showing off her snap-back body in a girly bikini and reminding fans that not all celebrities edit their social media photos. While some body-shamed Chanel, the vast majority of fans supported her, with some even saying how refreshing it was to see a bikini body that isn't "perfect."

Scroll for the photos. Lifting her arms up above her head as she posed right by the shore, Chanel stood sunkissed on a sandy beach while modeling a blue and pink bikini with bust frill detailing. Showing off her shapely waistline and impressively flat stomach, the "Karl" rapper sizzled in the sun while folding one leg a little, keeping her look coordinated with frill-accent bottoms and completing her beachy look with a pair of shades.

Going booty game strong in the second snap, Chanel posed with her curvy rear to the camera as she offered a different view, with the final slide showing her facing the camera as she added in a matching, waist-tied sarong that turned her two-piece into a three-piece. Tagging herself in South Beach, Miami, the Ridiculousness alum wrote: "In the new @coastyswim bikini coming soon! Follow & shop now @coastyswim coastyswim.com." She also asked fans to pick their favorite of the three images.
"Body shamed for what," one fan replied. Also supporting the L.A.-born star, another replied: "I think she looks perfect she looks like a young mother and the baby is gorgeous too carry on baby."

While a troll called both Chanel and her bikini "ugly," it looks like the haters have solidly lost this one. "Good for you, girl! Showing women it’s okay to wear a swimsuit without the “perfect” (or photoshopped) body," a further fan said. Chanel had launched her brand while heavily pregnant and continues to promote it as her daughter grows up. The podcast host shares her only child with model boyfriend Dom Fenison.
West Coast has, separately, been updating fans on her fitness journey since becoming a mother. In April, she bravely shared before and after moments as she documented her post-baby weight loss, even revealing her exact weight before and after her getting pregnant.

In her fitness-centric share, Chanel wrote: "Before I had a baby I weighed 110 lbs. After birth I weighed 160! My knees were hurting so bad and I had to get back in shape ASAP. Working out Postpartum can be tough and a long journey," adding that she'd stayed "consistent" as she thanked her trainer.
