James Charles In Red Bikini Asked 'How Did You Get That Hip?'

James Charles was the moment in the Spring of 2024. The 26-year-old YouTuber shared two slides of himself rocking a red bikini on the beach. The bold post, intended to show off his BBL transformation, got fans talking. One demanded to know how he got the hips, and others simply called it their dream body.

He hasn’t shared any bikini photos on Instagram this summer, but he continues to highlight his hourglass shape and show off his backside in new uploads.

Back in 2024, James Charles hit the beach in a fiery red two-piece. The bikini featured a short-sleeve crop top and high-waist thong bottoms. The first slide provided followers with a full view of his figure, while the second zoomed in directly on one hip.

It was obvious that the BBL was the star of the show. The caption of the post, “Drizzy ain’t got nothing on this bbl,” was a cheeky nod to Drake’s rumored plastic surgery lyrics.

Charles hasn’t confirmed the exact timeline of his procedure, but fans noticed a sharp difference in his figure between 2022 and 2023. Since then, he’s posted a few curve-highlighting swimwear shots to show off.

While many fans were impressed, others flooded the comments with questions. “How did you get that hip?” one asked in disbelief. A few users expressed confusion about his gender, with one bluntly asking, “Why does he look like a girl?” “That’s a f-cking man,” another user wrote.

Some followers were less critical and more curious, demanding the name of his doctor so they could get the same work done. Others, however, shifted focus away from his hips, asking invasive questions about his body.

A user asked, “Where is your p3nis? I can’t see it,” and 53 others seemed to want answers too. Charles didn’t let the noise stop him. Instead of retreating, he doubled down and dropped more bikini content.

Right after the red bikini post, Charles shared a video wearing a monokini with a wide midsection cut. The clip provided fans with a 360-degree view of his body, drawing their attention specifically to the lower half. But not everyone appreciated the view.

A user commented, “His bbl is not attractive, he looks so awful.” Another begged him to “get that BBL deflated.” Again, not minding the criticism, Charles posted yet another bikini post.

Interestingly, there haven’t been any bikini posts on his feed after that, but his curves continue to headline some of his fashion choices.

James Charles faced a significant scandal involving allegations of inappropriate behavior with minors. The controversy began when a 16-year-old TikToker accused Charles of grooming him by sending sexually explicit messages and photos via Snapchat, despite knowing his age.

Following this, several other individuals came forward with similar accusations, alleging Charles sent inappropriate messages or solicited nude photos, some while they were underage.

Charles, who was 21 at the time, addressed these in a YouTube video where he took responsibility for his actions. But the fallout from the scandal was significant. YouTube even temporarily demonetized his channel, and he lost his brand deal with Morphe.

Plus, some fans haven’t forgiven him to date. In his latest post, someone wrote, “Instagram has no place for pedophiles. You sick person.” But there were a lot more positive comments. “I love James, honey,” a fan wrote.

James Charles is currently single and not publicly dating anyone. He has been linked to rumors with individuals like TikToker Evan Johnson, but Charles denied any romantic involvement in a TikTok video.
