FEATURING SNEHA ARORA • LOCATION: BORA BORA, FRENCH POLYNESIA
There is a distinct difference between merely wearing swimwear and styling a look. As the turquoise waves of Bora Bora crash gently behind her, Sneha Arora isn't just dressed for a swim; she is dressed for the experience.
This season, the "clean girl aesthetic" takes a vacation. We are moving away from basic bikinis into the realm of High-Glam Resort Wear. The magic of this visual lies not in what is revealed, but in how it is accessorized.
The VIONN Style Note
"The secret to elevating swimwear? The Third Piece Rule. A bikini is just a base. Add a sheer layer (the third piece) to instantly transition from 'poolside' to 'sunset cocktails'."
Sneha masters this with a sheer beige kimono—a piece that offers movement and drama without the weight. But the real showstopper? The Gold Waist Chain.
We often forget jewelry at the beach, but as seen here, gold hoops and a structured metallic belt act as the anchor. They break the softness of the pastel pink, adding structure to the silhouette and catching the golden hour light perfectly.
