Shay Mitchell Smolders in Leopard Swimsuit During Maldives Vacay
If you're looking for some chic inspiration for your summer 'fits this year, look no further than Shay Mitchell. The actress was recently spotted on a trip to the spectacular beaches of the Maldives, and we're still stunned by the photos and videos she posted on Instagram. One post in particular shows Shay having fun in the sun while wearing an eye-catching leopard printed swimsuit, complete with a matching wrap. In another, she kicks back in a black bikini while lounging on a hammock, catching the ocean breeze.
Shay dazzled her fans as Emily Fields on Pretty Little Liars, and we more recently mourned the death of her character, Peach, on the first season of You. Shay never disappoints and her Instagram account is a great go-to for all of the looks you'll want on your own getaway this summer.
She Hit The Beach and The Bike Path
The Maldives serves as the perfect backdrop to sport chic swimwear. Case and point? In a recent carousel post, Shay shared the breathtaking scenery of her getaway and her go-to swimsuit choices. Her leopard one-piece suit with matching sarong proved to be an essential 'fit for the trip. It seamlessly brought her from the beach to a breezy bike ride.
To make it more of an outfit rather than just a bathing suit, Shay accessorized her look with black sunnies, gold earrings and bangles, a black Chanel purse, and matching black Chanel slip-ons. Her pedicure and French manicure are sheer perfection and absolute musts on any beach vacay. The celeb is totally put together from head to toe!
Shay captioned the post, "Already extended my stay. @joalibeing the views, the food, the people."
Now, let's talk about Shay's sleek black bikini she rocked while relaxing in a water hammock and soaking up the serenity of the Indian Ocean. It's pure summertime bliss!

She Channeled The Little Mermaid
Another one of Shay's Maldives posts is absolutely dreamy. The actress channels major Ariel vibes from The Little Mermaid as she snorkels with her daughter, Atlas, "under the sea."
She captioned her post, "Just like Ariel lol. Thank you @pippadarbs @joalibeing for letting atlas and I live out our mermaid dreams…" (Make sure your volume is turned up for this one!)

Animal prints are huge this year. We're sort of obsessed with Shay's leopard swimsuit and tried to find some similar looks to shop. Zara carries a gorgeous Animal Print Halter Swimsuit for $50, while you can snag Anthrologie's Peixoto Isla One-Piece Swimsuit for $138. If two-piece sets are more your vibe, Summersalt's Triangle Bikini Top ($50) and High Leg Mid Rise Bikini Bottom ($45) in leopard are set to slay.
