Leah McSweeney Poses in Nothing but a Teeny Bikini Bottom: “Ready for Summer”

Leah McSweeney is counting down the days till summer. In a recent Instagram share, The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip alum posed in a barely-there look that proved her readiness for balmy days. And if her ensemble doesn’t make you stop the scroll, nothing will.

In her June 9 Instagram post, the streetwear designer shared a snap of herself posing in a full-length mirror. Cupping her hands over her chest, Leah wore a beige bikini bottom — and that’s it! That’s the outfit.

But the bikini bottom did have some flair. By Vera Be Swimwear, the latte-hued bikini bottom is half of the Sailor suit. The low-cut bottom is decked with silver buckles and grommets, and it comes with a matching top (which Leah presumably has… somewhere!).

So where will Leah wear her Sailor bikini this summer? The setting for the selfie was a bedroom with beige carpeting and a neatly made bed. But the sky’s the limit for where this suit could travel next.

In her caption, Leah opened herself up to fabulous adventures on beaches near and far. “Ready for summer,” the New York City mama wrote. “Accepting invites to the Hamptons and Europe. [Hit me up.]” She added hashtags spelling out “do it for the plot” and “sorry dad.” 

The look caught the eye of one notable bad gal. Bravo fan Rihanna hopped into the comments to exclaim: “Yasssssss Leah!!!” 

Leah’s Sexy Swimwear Style

Leah has long made a splash with her swimwear selections. On April 13, she shared a series of snaps that were taken during a pool day in Miami Beach.

The pictures showed Leah lounging and posing in a blue leopard-print bikini. The fierce swimsuit had a halter top and a bottom with ties on each side. Leah paired the bikini with black sunglasses, gold jewelry, and an embroidered black cap designed by SEKS.

There was also that time Leah traveled to Jamaica. The Married to the Mob entrepreneur shared photos of herself in a teeny colorful bikini. This style had a pink-and-white design, a plunging halter top, and low-rise bottoms with ties at each side.

Leah’s swimsuit collection also includes a teeny metallic two-piece. As captured in a summertime snap from 2021, the bronze-hued bikini had a bralette-style top and a low-rise, high-cut bottom.

Leah’s Body Transformation

Earlier this year, the former Real Housewife opened up about what she’s done to get stronger, inside and out. 

Sharing before-and-after photos of herself, she wrote: “Now versus 10 months ago. I’ve been putting in that WORK. Not just working out but therapy, sobriety, meditation and not depriving myself of carbs!”


“Yes I look stronger but the most important aspect is I FEEL stronger,” she shared. “And healthier. And happier. And that’s what I’m after… thank you to all who have helped me on the journey of the last year. You know who you are!!”
