In May 2022, Ashley Darby shared a social media video of a head-turning swimsuit look that nearly stopped us in our tracks.

“[Channeling] that haute couture,” Ashley captioned the post, in which she showed off a high-cut olive green one-piece by MBM Swim. In addition to the suit’s cheeky silhouette and a pair of strappy gold stilettos, Ashley wore another sizzling element: a fresh hairstyle consisting of a towering topknot and blunt bangs. 

More recently, The Real Housewives of Potomac cast member brought the sizzle with her swimsuit style, this time rocking an eye-popping bikini top and matching bottom — and adding a hilarious little message for her followers. 

Ashley Darby’s Blue Bikini 

Taking to her Instagram Stories on June 15, Ashley struck a pose on a boat on what appeared to be a beach in a sunny locale. For the occasion, Ashley donned a striking cobalt blue two-piece with a top that featured double straps and a super deep cut around the cups. She completed the look with matching high-waisted bottoms.

Ashley also added two gold bracelets, a gold necklace, and chic sunglasses to the mix, wearing her sun-flecked brunette locks down and flowing. 

While we think the “Coffee and Love” singer looked beautiful as is, she wrote out an aesthetic concern over the Story: “Someone teach me how to pose,” she joked about the snapshot.

Ashley then struck a different pose in another photo, propping one foot on the boat and lightly resting her arm on her leg. “Better?” she asked, adding two crying-laughing emojis.

Ashley Darby’s 35th Birthday Party 

Before rocking the beautiful bikini look, Ashley wore another smoldering style: a multicolor strapless dress for her 35th birthday

“What a night!! Thank you for bringing in 35 with me!” the mom of two captioned the June 9 Instagram video, in which she first strutted down the hallway of her home in Arlington, Virginia. For the special occasion, the mom of two donned a sexy sheath that featured a large chest cutout that showed off plenty of cleavage and side cutouts that put parts of her midriff and back on display.

Though Ashley’s dress was ankle-length in the back, the front featured a crisscross pattern that showed plenty of leg. She accessorized her look with an oversize pearl-like necklace, gold-and-pearl-studded hoop earrings, and beige strappy heels.  

What’s more, the Maryland mom celebrated the occasion with a gorgeous, delicious-looking cake. The dessert was created by Cocoa’s Cupcakes & Co. and was decorated with magenta frosting, pink flowers, and several gold-tone toppers.
