We’re Loving Thabsie in Reese Flower Swimsuit

It might have been deep in the heart of winter, but Thabsie didn’t let the season define her mood. In a photo she shared back in January, she posed by the pool in a way that could easily pass for a summer fashion campaign. The scene was unmistakably local, yet she brought a warmth and confidence that made the whole moment feel like it belonged on the cover of a travel magazine.

Thabsie wore the black Reese Flower Swimsuit by Fashion Nova, and there’s no way to miss the statement detail right at the center. A bold, sculpted white flower sitting across her chest. It’s not your regular floral print or stitched-on patch. This flower is three-dimensional and oversized, made of structured fabric that almost looks like a fashion sculpture. The petals are thick, curved, and layered in a way that adds texture and drama without feeling heavy. It rests gently on one shoulder, giving the illusion that it bloomed right from her collarbone.

The swimsuit itself hugs her body in all the right places. It has a sleek, body-sculpting silhouette with a high-cut leg that elongates her frame and gives a subtle nod to vintage glamour. The one-shoulder design adds balance to the floral detail, creating a clean neckline on the opposite side that shows off her skin and collarbone. The material looks smooth, stretchy, and just shiny enough to catch the light without looking plastic. Classic, bold, and ultra-feminine.

Her hair was sleek, bone straight, and parted in the middle, giving that clean, polished finish that always works when you’re keeping the focus on your outfit (or in this case, the flower). Her skin? Glowing like the sun was hired for a personal lighting job. She kept her jewelry minimal, with tiny studs and a bracelet, just enough to add a bit of shimmer without doing too much.

It wasn’t just the swimsuit that made the moment stand out, but how she wore it, calm and confident, like she had nothing to prove. The way she posed, leg out, one hand behind her head, eyes fixed on something in the distance like she was daydreaming about an island escape. It felt soft, romantic, and confident.

And even though the trees in the background were clearly in winter mode, Thabsie was blooming in her own way. Her Instagram caption said it best: Blooming in Winter. That’s exactly what this look did, it brought a bit of warmth and boldness into a cold season.

Honestly? If we needed a reminder that swimsuit season can be a mindset, not just a weather report, Thabsie just gave it to us.
