How do I know it’s officially Hot Girl Summer? Because Megan Thee Stallion, high priestess of bikinis and all things sizzling, closed out her own runway show at Miami Swim Week. The rapper marked the one-year anniversary of her swimwear label, aptly named Hot Girl Summer, by waltzing down the catwalk in a shellish monokini with a halter top. She strutted, she waved, she got her flowers (actually), and now the rest of us can celebrate by putting on our own bikinis in solidarity.
