Kim Kardashian’s most memorable bikini moments

Kim Kardashian spends a lot of time in bikinis. We know because she also spends a lot of time documenting her time in said bikinis by posting pictures of her barely there swimsuits on social media. The 43-year-old Skims founder is no stranger to sparking swimsuit trends. She's even been on the cover of the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. So it comes as no surprise that just like her sisters Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian, who both have their own swimwear lines, Kim has added swimwear to her own line.

Throughout the years, regardless of her other endeavors—criminal justice reform, being an entrepreneur, and starting her own private equity firm—Kim has not shied away from posting pictures of herself wearing bikinis. She's had many swimwear standout moments, some even threatened to break the internet for a second or two. Scroll through to check out some of Kim's most memorable and jaw-dropping bathing suit pics.

The set of photographs starts with a picture of her ample and rather recognizable posterior facing the camera. The caption reads: "Cake Boss." Later in the carousel there is a pic of her picking her bikini out of her cakes. Why am I blushing?!

She swears by pink.

This pink number is also one of her Skims designs. The color is fun and vibrant. Kim could not resist making a pun about the hue. She captioned her post: “pinky swear ?!” Cute and clever.

Let’s call this one sheer audacity.

It’s white, but seems to go completely transparent when wet. Most people would rather not have their bathing suit all but disappear when wet, but Kim is not most people. She captioned these photos: “Life tip- do you.”

Sparkles and not much more. She shared a carousel to Instagram of this particular design in two colorways: black and nude. Not sure how well this design would hold up while swimming or running as there isn’t much to it. It’s more about what’s in it, I suppose.

Barely there or nearly naked?

Ms. Kardashian posted a series of pics of herself wearing a bikini that almost perfectly matches her skin color. She accessorized with snake skin, thigh-high boots and a white T-shirt style shrug. And where did she wear this ensemble? Looks like she wore it to her home gym. Maybe not the best workout outfit.

Check out the silver sisters.

In July 2022, Kim and Khloé shimmered in silver bathing suits. Kim opted for a silver two-piece, while Khloé wore the heck out of a one-piece. We’re thinking a few people might have purchased silver suits because of these two silver sisters.

Kim made the cover of the most famous magazine swimsuit edition.

In May 2022, Kim graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. No doubt she was psyched. When she shared images of the shoot, she wrote: "OMG I’m a Sports Illustrated cover girl!!!! We shot this back in January and it’s been so hard to keep this cover a secret!"

A few more pics from the SI swimsuit shoot.

"DREAM COME TRUE SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT EDITION," Kim captioned this series of photos. She looked amazing in everything they put her in even those very unpractical elbow-length swimming gloves. Are those even a thing?

Hello backside!

Some people are referred to as "beach bums" because they spend so much time at the beach. Kim calls herself a "sun bum" because her bum gets a lot of sun, apparently.

The right bikini really flaunts her curves.

This photo is incredible, isn't it? The right bikini really shows off Kim's dramatic curves, and this super-stretchy black two-piece is definitely doing its job and highlighting all of Kim's best assets.

The beach is Kim's happy place.

It's clear that the beach—or tropical islands in general—are Kim's happy place. She's so at ease in a bikini, with her toes in the sand or playing in the water with her friends and family.

Kim doesn't mind matching with her bestie.

Kim and one of her besties, La La Anthony, looked super sexy poolside in these matching tie-dye string bikinis. Kim is all about her girl squad and doesn't mind sharing the spotlight to get some gorgeous photos.

Kim was ready for fun in the sun in this sporty suit.

It's rare to see Kim so covered up in a swimsuit, but she looked sporty and ready for a day of playing with the kids on the beach in this Adidas swim top and tiny white thong bikini bottom.

Kim looks more and more like beach Barbie every day.

Kim is quick to recognize a perfect bikini photo op, and this picture of her looking just like a raven-haired Barbie in a teeny, tiny flesh-colored bikini was definitely striking. It really shows how much her body has changed.

This au naturel bikini moment is stunning.

Kim took a quick trip to the islands in the summer of 2021 and shared a few super-chill, makeup-free bikini photos that were truly stunning. Wearing just a nude-shade two-piece and her hair in beach waves, Kim looked relaxed and happy.

We love when Kim wears bright colors.

Cabo

While we tend to see her in more muted hues, whenever she wears a bright color like this one-piece orange bathing suit, it stands out. It brings out her gorgeous tan and brings her back to life.

Little black bikinis are a must.

For Valentine's Day 2019, her ex-husband, Kanye West, whisked her away for a surprise tropical getaway. He was also the one behind the camera snapping these gorgeous pics of Kim at the beach.

This bathing suit is something else.

More Cabo ☀️

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

This design will surely make for one awkward tan or sunburn. She wore this during a trip to Cabo and looked amazing in it, and she knows it, too! She made sure to have a full-on photo shoot on some stairs that complemented her look.

This simple yet sexy bikini looks awesome on her.

Always packing

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

This color of bathing suit is perfect for a trip to Miami, right? Kim tried on the cutest little pink bathing suit while packing for a trip, and it surely looked amazing on her.

Kim and Kylie Jenner are on fire.

Yin Yang

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

These two aren't shy to show off their physiques. Kim's bikini moments with her sister Kylie are always on fire. These two have such similar body shapes, and they love to show off their curvy figures in the tiniest and cutest bikinis.

Her Halloween 2019 costume was everything!

The KKW Beauty founder dressed up as Elle Woods from the movie Legally Blonde. She put on a bikini similar to what the character wore during one of the scenes, and it looked killer on her! She definitely nailed this look.

She stays ahead of the style game.

Neon green bathing suits were all the rage for summer 2019, but Kim was already wearing the color the year before. She even matched her bathing suit to her kayak. Now that's dedication.

Kim should definitely rock these bright colors.

The orange suit looks so beautiful on her tan skin. We love neon on her olive complexion. She paired the look with tiny sunglasses, which were totally on trend in 2018, and wore her hair in braids. So cute!

Kim was a lady in red Chanel.

Of course she would wear a designer bathing suit to tan! The red looks so good on her, and her stomach is so toned in this snap from 2018. That tan is intense and makes the Chanel bikini stand out even more.

Kim is a big fan of the tiny black bikini.

Her bikini bottoms are barely visible in this photo she shared in June 2019. She can for sure get away with wearing tiny bikinis because her body looks on point. Cellulite, where? Her legs and hips look crazy toned.

Kim looks amazing in this tiny white bikini.

Kim took it back with a classic bathroom mirror selfie for this bikini shot. Her waist is definitely the highlight of this pic, even though her cleavage is also taking some of the attention. Clearly her confidence was on high.

Kim broke the internet with this photo.

Just months after giving birth to daughter North in 2013, Kim shared this sizzling photo of herself in a white bathing suit. Her body looked so curvy, and her former husband, Kanye West, was a big fan of the pic. He responded to it on Twitter, writing, "Heading home now."

Her curves look so insane here.

Everyone knows that lying down is the best way to get a great bikini pic. Kim for sure is the queen of angles, and this photo makes her curves look amazing. We can only wonder how many takes it took to get this perfect shot.

Kim is all about the bikini mirror selfies.

This sparkly pink bikini looks so good on her. It's definitely a classic style, but Kim was totally feeling it on herself. The string bikini is always a winner for curvy girls, and it's clear Kim knows how flattering it is on her.

Kim headed to Mexico and tried this new style.

Kim wore this unusual white one-piece design in Mexico in 2016. There are not many people who could pull off a design like this, but she did. This was just months after giving birth to baby Saint.

She's a huge fan of this angle.

This peach-colored bathing suit totally blends in with her tan skin. She wore this in 2017 and took a picture of herself relaxing poolside. She looks amazing! Not gonna lie, we've taken the very same shot, because don't all of our tummies look their flattest when we're in this position?
