SUNS OUT, BUMS OUT

The ‘sunshine bum-time’ Instagram pose is the sexy trend celebs from Leigh-Anne Pinnock to Lizzo are loving

SUMMER holidays may be a far-off fantasy seeing as we're currently still in lockdown.

But as soon as we can soak up the sun again abroad (or maybe down the local park at this rate), we've found the perfect pose to freshen up your Instagram feed.

Introducing the "sunshine bum-time" pose which stars like Lizzo, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Laura Whitmore are loving.

All you had to do to perfect this universally-flattering pose is pop on your bikini bottoms, have your back to the camera and - like S Club Seven said - reach for the stars.

Earlier this week, the Little Mix star joked that she'd had a telling off from her mum Deborah after sunbathing topless on Instagram.

While Leigh-Anne twiddled her bikini top in one hand, other stars like Kaz Crossley preferred to play with their hair in a bid to look more candid.

Alternatively, Laura Whitmore and Victoria's Secret model Shanina Shaik opted to intertwine their hands and lean back into the move.

Meanwhile, selfie queen Kendall Jenner showed off her best "sunshine bum time" with a cheeky mirror selfie.

But if you're REALLY looking to up the stakes, look no further than supermodels Helena Christensen and Irina Shayk who perfected the pose while kicking back on the beach.

If you need us, we'll be digging out our bikinis and fiddling around with the self-timing cameras on our smartphones. Okay?
