Kristin Cavallari Highlights Stunning Bikini Body After 'Putting On Weight'

Kristin Cavallari received an overwhelming amount of support as photos of her enjoying a Mexico beach were circulated back in October 2022. The reality star, 36, had made headlines that year for revealing she'd gained weight, although one look at the photos suggests she mostly packed on muscle. Showing off a figure deemed "healthy" by users seeing The Daily Mail's photos, Kristin sizzled in Los Cabos as she stripped to a stylish bikini, one showcasing her gym-honed body and definitely impressing fans. Cavallari had users noting that she'd "gained a few pounds" or "put on weight," but the remarks weren't body-shaming in nature.

Scroll for the photo. Going makeup-free as she enjoyed a beach day with pal Justin Anderson, Kristin displayed her toned abs and womanly curves in a chic, strapless bikini in white. Rocking a bandeau-style top with underwire and ruched fabrics, the Uncommon James founder flashed her cleavage alongside her curvy hips, also displaying her toned legs as she soaked up rays.

Seemingly unaware of the paparazzi, Kristin screwed up her face a little in the sunshine, keeping her ankles wet for a shorefront stroll in some photos and enjoying the ocean in others. The Laguna Beach alum, now enjoying life as a podcaster and businesswoman, spent time with her hairstylist, who was seen joining her while shirtless and in colorful swim trunks.

The reactions proved decidedly positive. "She looks much more healthy. Loved her before but love her so much more for her natural look," one fan wrote. "She looks healthy, natural, and not all skin and bones," another said.

Over 50 fans agreed with a comment reading: "I think she's put on weight and I think she looks better. She was tiny. But like, the body of a child! She looks good." Meanwhile, a separate user said they thought Kristin Cavallari had "put on a few pounds."

Showing off her rippling abs in this April Instagram photo, Kristin reminded fans of her enviable frame as she rocked an even skimpier, bust-knotted bikini for a closet selfie. "Pool days are here," the mom of three wrote.

In June 2022, Kristin Cavallari bravely shared the above photo, one opening a gallery that also included past, skinnier photos of herself. Admitting that she could barely "recognize" herself as she found her prior frame too slender, the blonde revealed:

"I never had an eating disorder..that was purely stress. I work out really hard and am dedicated to a healthy lifestyle and I think just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean I can’t be proud of my body and be comfortable in my skin. So, here ya go." Fans left her over 300,000 likes.
