Animal print bikinis are getting the celebrity summer treatment, with TMZ spotlighting a gallery of stars wearing spotted and striped two-pieces.
The outlet says the warm-weather trend has shown up across celebrity swimwear shots, naming Tate McRae, Stella Hudgens and Erica Mena among the famous faces seen in animal-print looks.
The gallery leans into a very specific beachwear lane: prints with spots and stripes, worn on small two-piece swimsuits. TMZ framed the roundup as a summer fashion moment, with celebrities leaning toward bolder patterns as beach and pool photos keep rolling in.
Who is in the animal print bikinis gallery?
TMZ identifies Tate McRae, Stella Hudgens and Erica Mena as part of the animal-print swimwear roundup. The outlet also directs readers to its full celebrity animal print swimwear gallery to see additional stars featured in the collection.
McRae is listed by TMZ among its musician-related coverage, while Hudgens, Mena and the wider group appear under the outlet’s celebrity, model, influencer and culture tags. The gallery format means the focus is on the photos rather than a single event, appearance or interview.
What counts as animal print swimwear?
Animal print swimwear refers to bathing suits designed with patterns inspired by animal markings, including spotted or striped prints. In TMZ’s roundup, the common thread is celebrity two-piece swimwear using those patterns as the standout detail.
The trend is part of a broader run of summer celebrity beach coverage from the outlet. TMZ has also highlighted Naomi Campbell during an Ibiza beach day, stars in yellow bikinis, Natalie Maguire in a string bikini shower shoot and Hudson Williams on a beach in Greece.
For this roundup, though, the dress code is all about the print. TMZ’s pitch is straightforward: summer is underway, celebrities are wearing patterned swimwear, and the gallery collects the animal-print looks in one place.
The full set is available through TMZ’s gallery page, where the outlet says readers can see who else is wearing the bold beach style.
