Hot Girl Summer is right around the corner, and Megan Thee Stallion and Walmart are helping you get ready.
The “Otaku Hot Girl” rapper recently launched her very own swimwear line, aptly called Hot Girl Summer, and it’s available exclusively at Walmart. This is a special occasion, given that Megan is the first hip-hop artist to launch her own swimwear brand. What a trailblazer. The musician-approved collection will get you beach-ready in seconds with colorful pieces like bikinis, one-pieces and swimsuit cover-ups retailing for just $16 to $28.
Affordable and just plain cute, Megan spoke about the collection in an interview with Who What Wear, saying, “I want people to feel confident in it and like they had a little piece of me wherever they go this summer.” The new cover saw the performer clad in one of her swimwear creations in silver.
It turns out all that glitters is really gold. Metallic, to be exact. For those willing to go bold when hitting the pool or beach, the Dipped in Gold one-piece is for you. Equipped with a mock neckline, cut-out detailing on the tummy and a glitzy metallic sheen, this suit leans retro like something out of a James Bond film. The back also includes a large oval-shaped cut-out that bumps up the drama factor. The style is ultra-cheeky too, giving it that flirty quality that screams Megan.
Fringy and fun, Megan’s Chicas Fringe bikini top reminds us a lot of a sunset over the sea. Equipped with an angular halter neckline and shoulder straps, this top will ensure that your girls aren’t going anywhere. The style also features textural fringe, hence the name, laid across the cups, offering textural interest.
This style’s orange and pink ombre colorway screams summer, and the matching bottoms do too.
Each bikini style comes with a corresponding bottom, however, all of the pieces in this collection can be mixed and matched per your preference. We can envision this top with a cream-colored crochet cover-up and a frozen margarita in hand, toes in the sand.
It’s time to start embracing your curves, ala the “Mamushi” rapper. These bikini bottoms certainly fit the bill, given they’re extremely cheeky. The Cheeky Shortie bottoms sit low on the hips, mimicking the look of a micro short.
The style is also ruched, creating textural interest that’s hard to beat. What’s nice about these is that they can easily be worn with every bikini top in this collection. They’re versatile enough to balance out the more colorful styles Megan dreamt up. These could also look great with a black bikini top if you’re going for a more subdued, monochrome moment.
Ever wanted a bathing suit cover-up with personality? The “Cry Baby” rapper has got you covered. Retailing for $18.00, Hot Girl Summer mini skirt coverup is vibrant and playful, emulating Megan’s personal style to a tee.
The style is made of a hot pink mesh fabric adorned with iridescent pink sequins that move as you move. The side of the skirt features pink bow closures. We recommend wearing this coverup over vibrant swimwear in complimenting shades of pink, purple or aqua, along with platform flip-flops to give major Barbie vibes.
Hot Girl Summer Swim Tee

The Hot Girl Summer swim tee is all things Y2K, all wrapped up into an itty-bitty bikini top. Megan threw it back to the 2000s with this one, crafting the style in a hot pink hue. The front of the top reads “Hot Girl Summer” in rhinestones, a nod to the bedazzled butts of sweatsuits worn by the likes of Paris Hilton. The cropped silhouette is a daring one, likely best worn with neutral black bottoms. If you’re willing to go for a maximalist moment, the bikini top could be worn with coordinating hot pink bottoms, high-waisted or otherwise. Your next pool party is calling.
