A leopard doesn’t change its spots.
And while Gisele Bündchen has access to practically any swimwear money can buy, she’s got a major soft spot for animal-print suits.
On Wednesday, the pregnant supermodel shared an Instagram Reel with clips of her cradling her baby bump while wearing a spotted bikini top and matching sarong.
It’s far from the first time she’s taken a walk on the wild side with her beach attire, as she shared several Instagram snaps in similar suits last year — and rocked Tropic of C’s bestselling Praia Bottom on repeat in 2020 and 2021.
We’ve also spotted her wearing spotted bikinis while on the clock, as she modeled a plunging leopard-print one-piece for a Pop magazine shoot last year.
Her love for the look dates back to her runway days in 2011, when she sported a gray leopard-print suit on a trip to Brazil.
But you needn’t be a supermodel to rock Bündchen’s beach uniform; below, we’ve rounded up several ways to re-create her signature swim style.
Looking for a copycat version of Bündchen’s cat-print looks? She’s made a splash in this exact style on multiple occasions. While it’s designed to match the brand’s Equator Top, she typically pairs hers with the C Bralette in the earthy shade Driftwood instead.
Founded by fellow former Victoria’s Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel, Tropic of C also makes a leopard-print maillot that’s currently on major markdown.
Known for its collaborations with stars like Sydney Sweeney and Pamela Anderson, Frankies Bikinis offers teeny animal-print two-pieces with pops of color.
Brazilian brand Vix is also a longtime Bündchen favorite. While she owns several of its solid-colored suits, this leopard-print look feels right up her alley.
Bündchen’s extensive swimsuit collection also includes solid-colored styles from Hollywood go-to Melissa Odabash.
Prefer a more full-coverage fit? Free People’s swimwear section includes this surf-ready style practically guaranteed to make waves.
Summersalt — a brand several New York Post staffers tested and loved — also offers bikinis with added support, like this bottom made to match the label’s Triangle Bikini Top.
