Nina Dobrev Heats Up Instagram With Cheeky Bikini Photo

Nina Dobrev is embracing paradise—both in her personal life and on vacation!

"The Vampire Diaries” alum turned heads on April 5 when she shared a sun-soaked bikini photo from a tropical destination, giving fans a glimpse of her toned figure, relaxed vibes, and cheeky sense of humor.

The 36-year-old actress posed barefoot in a fiery red bikini, with her back to the camera and one leg propped up on a windowsill, looking out toward lush greenery and a beach view. With her brunette hair flowing naturally down her back and no glam in sight, Dobrev’s laid-back beauty stole the show.

Dobrev captioned the share with a single peach emoji—subtle, suggestive, and fully in on the joke. Fans and followers flooded the comments with praise, calling her “the most stunning girl on the planet” and admiring her “perfect body” alongside heart and flame emojis. But it wasn’t just the scenery turning heads—her fiancé Shaun White’s reaction was also top of mind for fans who wondered what he’d think of the sultry snapshot.

The reaction to Nina’s photo was instant and enthusiastic. The post quickly filled with heart-eyed emojis and swooning compliments. Some admired the scenic backdrop, others focused on Dobrev’s fit physique, but the overwhelming consensus? The “view”—all of it—was picture-perfect.

“Most stunning girl on the planet!” one user gushed, while another added, “The view + Nina = perfection.” It’s not the first time Dobrev has wowed fans with a natural, carefree look, but this time, the timing and location gave the post that extra tropical magic.

Though she didn’t tag her exact location, the palm trees and beach visible in the background suggest she’s enjoying a luxurious and remote vacation—a well-earned break amid a busy professional and personal season.

While Dobrev’s Instagram was all about relaxation, real life is full of questions—mainly about her wedding plans. Since getting engaged to Olympic snowboarder Shaun White in October 2024, the couple has fielded endless curiosity from fans, family, and the media.

“People keep asking when the wedding is,” Dobrev recently told PEOPLE. “We were like, ‘Literally, it just happened. We have no idea.’” She recalled how White’s mother was immediately excited, asking for wedding dates the same day they shared the engagement news.

Though no official plans have been revealed, sources close to the couple say a big celebration is on the horizon. “It will be a blowout party,” one insider shared, adding that Dobrev and White are “fun and adventurous” but also “very grounding for each other.”

The couple’s love story has charmed fans since they went Instagram official in May 2020. They reportedly began dating in 2019 and moved in together at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dobrev made headlines for giving White a DIY haircut during lockdown, sparking a wave of quarantine couple goals.

Then in October 2024, White proposed with a stunning five-carat diamond ring under an arch of white roses at New York City’s Golden Swan restaurant. Dobrev described the moment to Vogue, saying, “I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him.” A month later, insiders confirmed White had been planning the proposal for months and shared it with close friends beforehand.

Though fans might associate her most with the role of Elena Gilbert/Katherine Pierce on "The Vampire Diaries,” Dobrev is staying active in Hollywood. According to IMDb, she has two upcoming projects: a TV drama titled “Woman 99” and an action thriller called “Bear Country.”

And she’s not just working on camera. She recently teamed up with SC Johnson for the “Join Zuzu” environmental campaign, raising awareness about plastic waste and sustainability. Whether acting, advocating, or vacationing, Dobrev continues to show her range and reach.

With a single peach emoji and a cheeky pose, Dobrev reminded fans she’s confidently stepping into her next chapter with a dream fiancé, exciting projects, and a vacation glow to match.
