Zoe Saldana has it made. Her latest movie, Avatar, already grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide. A few days ago, Saldana was spotted in Cabo wearing a trendy swimsuit cover-up. This white coverup dress is the perfect accessory to throw over a white bikini, especially if you have the gorgeous dark skin to contrast. The one thing we kind of want to point out though, is that unless the swimsuit cover up is super thin and flowy, chances are long sleeves might be a bit warm for 100 degree weather. Thumbs up on this one.

Gypsy Mini Dress by OndadeMar

To get Zoe’s look, a good option to consider if you are on the lookout for a white coverup is the Gypsy Mini Dress by OndadeMar Swimwear. This trendy swimsuit cover up features a similar plunging neckline and drawstrings at bust. It also features a lightweight textured print and drawstrings at sleeves. As the heat rises, the sleeves can shrink! Its airy design allows for a light but very trendy accessory to complement your designer swimsuit.

We’re always looking out for the hottest trends for women’s swimwear and beyond, and nothing is sizzling up the red carpets and the runways like ruffles right now!

Flirty and feminine, ruffles have come a long way from the frilly dresses of the past. They’re a great contrast to the sleek and tailored items in your wardrobe, and they add just the right amount of flair. And we happen to think they’re especially sexy on women’s swimwear!
