Kelly Brook's New Swimwear Collection with Next Emphasises Comfort and Style
As summer approaches, model and presenter Kelly Brook has delighted her fans by launching a new swimwear range in collaboration with high street retailer Next. This collection follows her successful lingerie edit with the brand and is specifically crafted to enhance confidence for all body types.
Designed for Fuller Figures and Diverse Shapes
At 46, Kelly Brook travelled to South Africa in January to shoot the campaign, focusing on designs that flatter and support fuller breasts. The edit, released last week, has quickly garnered enthusiastic reviews online, with admirers praising the flattering silhouettes. The collection includes 13 one-piece swimsuits and 11 bikini sets, all tailored to celebrate curves.
Inclusive sizing is a key feature, with options ranging from UK sizes 6 to 26 and bra sizes from 32A to 42G. Additionally, the range offers both tall and petite variations to ensure a perfect fit for every individual.
Supportive Features and Practical Design Elements
The swimwear incorporates thoughtful details to boost confidence at the pool or beach. Supportive cups in bikini tops, high-cut bottoms, and adjustable straps are standard across the collection. One standout piece is a popular swimsuit with hidden support mesh to smooth the tummy, clever seams, and a wrap-style design that accentuates curves.
Kelly Brook has embraced bold designs this season, featuring eye-catching floral and tropical patterns, on-trend polka dots, leopard prints, and vibrant block colours. A notable item is the Brown Textured Scoop Neck Tummy Control Swimsuit, which serves as an affordable alternative to high-end brands like Hunza G, priced at just £38.
Specialised Support and Sun Protection
For those with larger chests, the DD+ Wired Non Padded Bikini Top provides underwired support, while matching tie-side bottoms feature a high-leg rise to elongate the silhouette. The Brown Leopard Print Wired Bandeau Bikini Top includes detachable straps to prevent tan lines and maintain support.
Practicality meets style with sun protection features; many bottoms offer a UPF rating of 50+, blocking over 97.5% of UV rays on covered areas, making them ideal for sunny holidays.
Kelly Brook's Vision for Confidence and Joy
Kelly explained that her primary goal was to create fashionable yet comfortable swimwear for all shapes and sizes, ensuring everyone feels confident. 'The most important thing is how the pieces make you feel,' she said. 'If you put something on and immediately smile at yourself, that's the one.'
She emphasised fit over label sizes, advising focus on support, shape, and comfort. 'A great swimsuit should celebrate your body, not fight it,' she added. Her inspiration stemmed from celebrating real women and bodies, drawing on classic female icons with a modern twist for Riviera glamour.
'Ultimately, I wanted this edit to feel joyful,' Kelly shared. 'Swimwear shouldn't feel intimidating. It should feel exciting like the start of a beautiful holiday.'
Overwhelming Positive Reception from Buyers
Customers have responded enthusiastically, with the collection already accumulating hundreds of five-star reviews. The Ruched Side Tummy Shaping Control Swimsuit is a particular favourite, boasting an average rating of 4.7 stars from 380 reviews.
Fans have praised the swimwear for being flattering and offering good value. One reviewer noted, 'Very good quality and does wonders around the tummy area,' while another gushed, 'Lovely swimsuit - such a gorgeous colour and a perfect fit. It feels flattering, fresh, and holiday‑ready.'
Another satisfied buyer commented, 'It fits and looks great. Can’t wait to show it off on holidays. Usually I have to compromise on style to hide my stomach, but this swimsuit is flattering and stylish.' This feedback underscores the collection's success in meeting Kelly Brook's vision of empowering confidence through inclusive and stylish design.
