Natasha Oakley’s Eye-Popping Bikini Pics Raise Questions About Her Scar

Natasha Oakley is back on the streets of Instagram slaying bikinis like she didn’t undergo a partial nephrectomy just two months ago.

She joined Monday Swimwear’s latest Fiji trip alongside her best friend Devin Brugman, plus several other models. One of her standout looks from the trip was a fiery red bikini ensemble that amped her seductive appeal. While others admired the look, one fan said, "Wait a minute, where’s the scar?"

Natasha Oakley’s red bikini post was the epitome of tropical allure. She posed on the continental shelf wearing a cherry-red bikini that hugged her curves and entranced fans.

The triangle top, tied at the neck and back, offered just the right balance of support and sultry exposure while highlighting her décolletage.

The matching V-cut bottom featured thin straps that sat high on her hips, elongating her toned legs. She tucked a red hibiscus behind her ear to soften the bold red look.

In the second frame of the 14-slide post, she added a red sarong with a high slit and a loose cover-up shirt worn open. Slide eight revealed a full-length photo of Oakley’s back in nothing but the bikini, blessing fans with a much-appreciated view.

The comments section didn’t disappoint. Many fans were stunned by her look, dropping “Wow” in the comments, seemingly at a loss for words.

One fan, however, raised concerns about the absence of her nephrectomy scars. “Why edit/smooth out your scars?” The user asked. “There are many of us with similar [scars] that would love to see them.”

Natasha Oakley responded with, “They’re not edited at all, they are on my left side.” Most of the photos, however, were shot from angles highlighting her right side, making the scars naturally less visible.

Natasha Oakley shared a photo from a hospital bed on September 4 to update fans on her recent health issues.

She explained in the caption that in March she discovered a “small 2.5 cm tumor” in her left kidney, leading doctors to perform a partial nephrectomy to “remove the tumor and part of my kidney.”

She noted that they had only just “successfully removed the low-grade cancerous tumor,” kickstarting her recovery journey. She ended the caption promising, “I’ll be back in a bikini rocking these baby scars ASAP.”

The fan who asked about the scars in her red bikini post was likely anticipating that moment.

Natasha Oakley also gave a heartfelt shout-out to Devin Brugman in the caption. She wrote, “Devin Brugman flew down to [Australia] to be there for the surgery and take care of me like the best friend I could possibly ask for.”

The pair have known each other for over a decade. They met in Maui in 2009 and became inseparable friends. Together, they launched the blog “A Bikini A Day” in 2012 and expanded it into Monday Swimwear in 2014.

Today, their brand is reportedly valued at over $60 million, and their friendship remains just as solid. An inspired fan called them “the A team.”

Natasha Oakley’s diagnosis and scars didn’t stop her from being a “pure bombshell.” While in Fiji, she slayed another bikini to perfection while modeling BVLGARI jewelry.

She wore a deep merlot bikini that shimmered with subtle metallic threads. The balconette top framed and lifted her curves, while the high tie-sided bottoms accentuated her toned midriff. The bikini color and style matched the elegance of the BVLGARI piece around her neck.

“Just wow,” a fan gasped, and the sentiment was unanimous.
