As we continue to process the drama from episode 20 of “Love Island USA” Season 7, there’s one thing that has us completely obsessed: Megan Thee Stallion’s guest appearance. The “Mamushi” rapper brought her signature energy and sex appeal to the show, hosting a three-part challenge that resulted in two new bombshells joining the islanders. And of course, she did it all while rocking a sultry ensemble from her very own Walmart swimwear line.
Megan’s cameo on the show was a perfect fit, given the show’s allure and steamy moments. The challenge she hosted consisted of a twerking competition, a limbo round, and a puzzle race, all of which led to the introduction of two new islanders. And throughout the entire episode, Megan looked stunning in a metallic gold two-piece bikini, complete with strappy-heeled sandals and jewelry.
But this was no ordinary bikini – it was from Megan’s very own swimwear line with Walmart. The “Sweetest Pie” artist recently launched her Hot Girl Summer collection with the popular retailer, featuring 18 size-inclusive styles. And her look from the show, the Dipped in Gold Bikini Top ($18) and Bottom ($16), was just one of the many eye-catching pieces in the collection.
Before the challenge, Megan also caught up with the women islanders in their quarters for some girl talk. And to no one’s surprise, they were all wearing pieces from Megan’s line. Iris Kendall and Cierra Ortega rocked the Dipped in Gold One Piece ($28), while Hannah Fields and Huda Mustafa wore the now-sold-out Hot Girl Summer One Piece. Amaya Espinal and Chelley Bissainthe opted for the Chicas Fringe Bikini Top ($18) and matching bottom, which is also currently sold out. And Olandria Carthen stood out in the Mamushi One-Piece Swimsuit ($28).
Megan’s new swimwear drop is in line with a recent trend in the fashion industry – recession core. In today’s economic climate, celebrities are embracing more affordable products for consumers, and Megan’s collaboration with Walmart is a perfect example of this. However, she has also mixed in high-end items from brands like Amazon and I.AM.GIA in her outfits, showing her versatility and ability to cater to different budgets.
Whether you’re a die-hard “Love Island USA” fan (like us) or simply looking for budget-friendly swimwear for your next tropical getaway, Megan’s line has something for everyone. After all, it is a hot girl summer, and what better way to embrace it than with a swimsuit from the queen of hot girl summer herself?
