Anok Yai’s Bikini Look Mocked, Fan Says ‘My Future Is Brighter’

Anok Yai gave 2000+ fans something to talk about in a three-slide bikini carousel on Instagram. The 27-year-old model, whose modeling career launched unexpectedly in 2017, has been making big moves in the industry. From magazine features to high-profile runways, she’s steadily becoming a well-accomplished model, with her unique identity drawing many fans in.

The post captioned “Burning” showed Anok Yai sunbathing on a lounge chair in a black two-piece that blended with her rich dark skin. She accessorized simply with Gucci sunglasses and gold jewelry.

The first slide captured her head tilted up to the sun, soaking it in with a serene atmosphere. Yai looked joyful in the second frame, where she crossed her legs and lifted her arms to the sky, a carefree smile plastered on her face.

The final frame showed a playful pose of the model on all fours on the lounge chair. Fans wasted no time in crowning her “the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Anok Yai’s skin was the subject of many comments. Some called her a “gorgeous black diamond.” Others gushed, “OMG her skin looks so healthy,” “Skin is tea,” “Wow, your skin never fails to amaze me.”

But along with the praises came shade from trolls. One claimed her skin looked “dry” and told her to “moisturize.” Another mocked, “My future is brighter than her,” while someone else wrote, “She is darker than my life.” A user even dismissed her unique appeal by saying, “They tryna make a new Naomi so bad.”

These negative comments, however, were in the minority because Yai seems to be loved. Her fans praised her as “majestic,” calling her a “goddess” and “diva.” One fan even wished “to be born as Anok” in their next life, getting over 6000 likes in support.

A recent win for Anok Yai was being announced as one of the first six Angels to walk in the 2025 “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” runway on October 15. Sharing the news on Instagram, she called the milestone “a dream come true.”

Anok Yai actually debuted as an Angel in 2024, later joking in a YouTube video about how heavy the wings were. For her 2025 return, she revealed she would be “in the gym 6 times a week” and build her back muscles to carry the wings with much ease this time.

Another recent highlight was Anok Yai’s feature on “Perfect Magazine.” The cover was an image of topless Yai, her skin glowing under dramatic lighting that gave a red hue. With her fiery, short-cropped hair and piercing gaze, she embodied raw strength and unapologetic sensuality.

On Instagram, Yai wrote that “editorials should be like short films” that pull people “into its world.” She continued, writing about the inspiration behind the issue, and summed up that it “represents a woman who made the decision” to be reborn.

Fans thanked her for “bringing back art in fashion” and hailed her as an “artist.”

In mid-summer, Anok Yai shared a simple two-slide headshot post that enchanted thousands of fans. The first shot captured the model pulling a funny face, but the second frame was all seriousness. She looked fiercely into the camera, her distinct features in sharp focus. Fans were drawn in. “How stunning,” a fan wrote.
