We're calling it: The swimsuit trend of the summer for Bravolebs has to be wild animal print. All summer long, we've been noticing that leopard print swimwear has been a favorite among the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Just check out OC daughter Briana Culberson's leopard tank swimsuit, Kelly Dodd's strappy leopard one-piece, and Emily Simpson's belted leopard swimsuit

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

But the trend extends far beyond the OC. The Real Housewives of New York City mogul Bethenny Frankel's plunging cheetah one-piece might be her hottest swimsuit yet, while The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks donned a similar, super-sexy cheetah swimsuit with cut-outs.

The latest Bravoleb to try this fierce trend is Kelly Killoren Bensimono. The Real Housewives of New York City alum just Instagrammed herself rocking a tiny string bikini by designer Melissa Odabash while on vacation in the French Riviera. Kelly's Cancun Cheetah classic triangle string bikini with matching bottoms is on sale for $161.

Kelly, who turned 50 last year, continued her swimsuit fashion show in St. Tropez with another Melissa Odabash bikini and a Baywatch-esque $84 red one-piece from Sweaty Betty.
