WANT a curvalicious bod this summer? Forget hitting the gym, it’s time to get a V-kini.

The butt-boosting new swimwear trend has been spotted on celebs including Kendall Jenner, Rita Ora, Emily Ratajkowski and Love Island’s Zara McDermott.

The bold look is achieved by hoisting the band of your bikini bottoms up above your hips, so they form a V shape.

The positioning of the band gives the impression of an hourglass figure, helping to slim your tum and give your bum a boost.

String bikini pants give the best results, although the likes of Lauren Pope and Iggy Azalea have experimented with fuller bottoms.

“Swimwear styles that provide less coverage will create the look of longer limbs by extending the legs and torso,” stylist Hayley Forester told Fabulous Online.

“To lengthen the legs further I recommend a higher-cut style. Meanwhile, frills, ruching and patterns will accentuate curves.”

Rita Ora, 27, looked Hot Right Now in her neon yellow V-kini, which she rocked with an underboob-exposing top and space -ges sunnies.

Zara McDermott, 21, followed the singer’s lead with a frilly canary yellow two-piece, and Victoria's Secret Angel Elsa Hosk, 29, looked heavenly in a striking brick orange number.
