Nastia Liukin was all about her "itsy bitsy" bikini two summers ago, and her swimwear snap is still live on her Instagram. Showing off her super-slim figure as she enjoyed a beach day in June 2023, the Olympic gymnast flaunted her shredded frame in a fun, polka-dot bikini, even throwing a two-piece emoji into her caption. Nastia, who is followed by 1 million on IG, raked in tons of fan love, and one fan even likened her to HBO star Sarah Jessica Parker. Nastia has faced criticism over her slender figure this year, but fans in this comments section didn't seem in the mood for skinny-shaming. The post even caught a celebrity like from reality star Savannah Chrisley.

Scroll for the photo. Posing from a beach club and amid cushioned loungers, Nastia displayed her athletic figure in a cute, polka-dot bikini in yellow and black.
Rocking an underwire top with structured cups, the Russian-born star flashed her cleavage while showing off her abs, striking a casual pose while highlighting quite the thigh gap. Wearing matching bottoms with a high waist and "patch-on" finish, Nastia left little to the imagination in her teeny swimsuit, adding a bucket hat and shades.

Rocking the Celine logo on her hat as she shouted out her inner designer lover, Nastia sent the camera a grin, completing her look with layered necklaces, small earrings, and a bangle. In a caption, she wrote: "An itsty bitsy yellow polka dot bikini." She added a yellow heart emoji, plus a bikini one.
While the opening slide was in black-and-white, fans had clearly swiped to see the color version. "Yellow is definitely your color," one user replied." Fans also saw a Celine store, plus more brand action as a photo of the loungers showed they'd been designed by Dua Lipa-adored designer, Jacquemus. "Isn’t it itsy bitsy TEENY WEENIE yellow polka dot bikini!?" another fan replied.

Once again, she honored Celine via her baseball cap. "When in LA, I swear by Studio MDR Pilates. It’s a total body workout with cardio, weights, and strength training. Never let anyone tell you pilates is easy – if they do, sign them up for one of these classes!" Nastia has written on her website.
