Kendall Jenner wears super strappy tiny espresso V-back bikini
It's that time again: Everyone Has a Pool Except You O'Clock, where celebrities truly will not stop making us jealous with their summer aesthetics. Enter Kendall Jenner, who just dropped a series of bikini pics on what looks to be a gorgeous holiday. And while what I really want is this view, I'll settle for her bikini, which is conveniently still available to shop online! According to fan accounts, Kendall's wearing the Tropic of C universo bralette and luna bottom in espresso. Need/want. This is hardly Kenny's debut bikini post this year. She kicked off the Gram's swimwear content all the way back in March when she ditched her top to pose in just a pair of teeny tiny thong bikini bottoms. Check out the pics here. She also gave an insight into her and Kylie's family vacay last month: And shared this gorge black and white shot of herself, yet again perched on a sun lounger: Indeed, the supermodel is no stranger to a micro bikini, regularly taking to Instagram to showcase her teeny tiny 'kini collection. Be it a butter yellow thongkini: A classic string triangle style in a bright red hue to coordinate with her cap. Sun safety is important after all, kids! Or channelling the dolce vita (even though she was actually in Mallorca...) in a chic AF headscarf: We're definitely not jealous that we're not sat on a beach right now. Though maybe this weekend's heat wave will finally allow us to pull on our own bikinis, if only to wear to the local park.

Photo by Marcus Nilsson/Bravo June 13 (UPI) -- Tristen Epps-Long has been crowned the winner of Bravo's Top Chef Season 22, beating out fellow finalists Bailey Sullivan and Shuai Wang for the honor Thursday night. "I wanted to come on Top Chef to showcase Afro-Caribbean food and prove that it deserves a place in fine dining," said the owner of Epps & Flows Culinary in Houston. "I didn't do this for myself, nor did I get here on my own. I had a lot of support and people who believed in me that gave me the strength to not quit and keep pushing to the end of this incredible Top Chef journey," he added. "Now, I just hope to be that same support, step or channel for someone else because that's what others were for me." Epps-Long was awarded a $250,000 cash prize, as well as a $125,000 flight credit for Delta Air Lines, a feature story in Food & Wine magazine and an appearance at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. He is also set to be a presenter at the James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards in Chicago on Monday.
