At 60, Cindy Crawford has once again reminded us that style has no age limit. Photographed on a Mexican beach in a classic two-piece, the supermodel opted for a dark, minimalist bikini with a triangle top and mid-rise bottom—a silhouette that has been a cornerstone of swimwear since the 1940s, when French designer Louis Réard introduced the modern bikini in 1946, scandalizing the world with its daring exposure. Crawford’s choice echoes the understated elegance of early lingerie-inspired beachwear, when corsetry gave way to more liberated forms of dress.
Her look pairs a simple tie-top with fuller-coverage bottoms, a design that prioritizes comfort and structure—qualities that the lingerie industry has long championed. The affordable Daiyulin version, available on Amazon for $33, mirrors this timeless shape, with adjustable side ties that recall the customizable fit of vintage girdles and brassieres. Unlike the cheeky cuts that dominate contemporary swimwear, this style offers “good bum coverage without looking like granny panties,” as one satisfied customer noted.
From a curatorial perspective, Crawford’s choice is a nod to the enduring appeal of the triangle bikini, a design that emerged in the 1970s alongside the rise of body positivity and athletic leisurewear. Brands like Gottex and Maillot, which revolutionized swimwear with supportive yet stylish cuts, would approve. Whether you’re 25 or 65, this silhouette proves that confidence—much like a well-constructed garment—never goes out of style.
