Kristin Cavallari was both praised and criticized for her cheeky swimsuit snap in 2020, taking her socially-distanced action onto the water as she ditched her top. Striking a pose from a harbor as she enjoyed a boat day, the Laguna Beach alum wore only a cheeky pair of thong bikini bottoms, flaunting her jaw-dropping physique in her white swimwear while peeping her tan lines. Joking about wishing that she was in Positano, Italy, Kristin drew the eye to her pert backside, although some didn't think that her photo was necessary. Despite the divided fan opinions, the share still earned the 38-year-0ld over 200,000 Instagram likes.

Scroll for the photo. Posing from a boat as she enjoyed a view and offered one, Kristin folded one leg a little, highlighting her super-toned silhouette while drawing the eye to her curves.

Going topless, but staying safe with her back to the camera, the Uncommon James founder flaunted her trim waist and back, making eyes pop in her butt-baring thong while displaying tan lines from a different swimsuit. The mom of three turned her head to the side a little, parting her lips a little while letting her beachy-waved hair blow around her face.

Wearing zero accessories, Kristin let her smoldering body take center stage as she wrote: "Pretending it's Positano." The luxurious vacation destination is a celebrity hotspot and was, in 2022, chosen by reality star Kourtney Kardashian for her wedding to husband Travis Barker.

"You are beautiful," one fan wrote, with many others complimenting Kristin on the "view." That said, others raised eyebrows. While one user age-shamed Kristin and said that she's trying to be "young," another wrote: "This is for all women who do this and I don’t understand why…what is the reason for wearing a bottom swimsuit that doesn’t cover your entire but???"

"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," she wrote.
