It’s officially that time of year — you know the vibes. It’s too hot for straps or sleeves! On a sweltering summer day, a strapless dress is the only solution. And for those of Us working on our base tan, this design also prevents dreaded tan lines. But if you have a bigger bust, it can be difficult to find strapless styles that provide enough coverage and support.
So, I decided to bring in a little help from my friend Kristina Zias, an influencer with a mission to make women feel confident in their bodies at any size. Kristina co-founded the Confident Collective alongside Raeann Langas, and together they’re inspiring Us to embrace the skin we’re in and dress in clothes that make Us feel good. The two podcast hosts are even throwing a pool party in Beverly Hills this weekend to celebrate body confidence and kick off the summer season!

Kristina exclusively told Us Weekly, “For the longest time, I struggled with my confidence during summer months because as the clothing got smaller, I thought everyone would judge me on my stomach, back rolls and cellulite. And the greatest lesson I learned is that everyone is so focused on themselves, literally no one cares! All that matters is how you feel about yourself.” Love that attitude!
