How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts
SWIMWEAR trends, like every other part of fashion, come and go in waves. And this year we seem to be revisiting the '80s with super-high-cut bikini lines sure to leave you needing a Hollywood wax. 5 First made famous in that decade by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington, wedgie- inducing swimwear is back. And this time round, it's not just for celebs and reality telly stars - the high street is pushing us mere mortals to tackle thin gussets, too. Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts and bum-cheek-exposing cossies. With Love Island back on our screens and the women scantily clad in swimwear every episode, we expected to see a resurgence of the V-cut gusset. And last week Kim Kardashian, 44, unveiled her latest Skims collaboration with Italian brand Roberto Cavalli, featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece. Meanwhile, sister Kylie, 27, stepped out in a vintage Chanel swimsuit, with a sky-high cut, first worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995. Just a few weeks ago Miami Swim Week — the pinnacle of all swimsuit catwalks — saw a host of high V cuts, with TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini. Model Iris Law, 24, recently wore a black high-cut swimsuit, and former Love Islanders Maura Higgins, 34 and Zara McDermott, 28, have been showing off their svelte figures in them, too. Gusset gauge Host of the reality show Maya Jama, 30, has also been spotted wearing a barely-there bikini while on holiday this year. Of course, these women all looked phenomenal, but for the rest of us enjoying a break on the Costa Del Sol or taking a dip at the local swimming pool, it's not an easy look to pull off. Aside from the obvious extremely bare bikini line you need to have, there's also the probability you'll spend all your holiday sorting out your wedgie, or even worse a flash of some flesh you definitely don't want strangers to see. Yes, we expect to see these flimsy cuts at Gen Z fave brands like Nasty Gal and River Island. But I was surprised to see M&S selling this type of bikini bottoms, as the brand is renowned for selling comfortable underwear, particularly big 'granny'-style pants. It seems there is no escaping it if our sensible shops are hopping on board. You have to wonder why. There is a huge appetite for '80s nostalgia currently, across music and fashion, and there are parallels between the economies of back then and now — both decades are characterised by economic uncertainty and fluctuating inflation rates. 5 5 5 We know about the hemline index, but could the gusset gauge be a more accurate indicator of how consumers feel about the state of the economy? Whatever the reasons, there are, of course, aesthetic benefits to high-cut swimsuits — they give the illusion of longer legs and a smaller waist. But if you are going to wear it, you really do need to commit to the trend — booking in for that wax and giving yourself a body-confidence pep talk, because there really is nowhere to hide.

Boris Becker, 57 and his pregnant wife Lilian, 35, are seen for the first time since announcing they are expecting a baby as tennis pro prepares to welcome his fifth child
Boris Becker and his wife Lilian have been pictured for the first time since announcing they are expecting their first child together. The couple confirmed their happy news on Sunday, with Boris declaring 'the best is yet to come' in an Instagram post that showed Lilian sweetly cradling her baby bump. In their first sighting since their baby news, tennis pro Boris, 57, and Lilian, 35, appeared to be in good spirits as they stepped out in Milan on Thursday. Boris - who already has four children by three women - cut a dapper figure in a lilac shirt and blue jeans, which he styled with white trainers. He carried a navy blazer and pulled his belongings behind him in a black suitcase and white duffel bag. Meanwhile, Lilian oozed sophistication in a pinstripe suit, made up of wide-leg trousers and a fitted blazer, which she wore with a black vest. She added a few extra inches to her frame in a pair of strapped heels and toted her essentials in a black quilted shoulder bag. Lilian, who married Boris in September 2024, concealed her baby bump under her stylish ensemble and shielded her eyes with square shades. On Sunday, Boris took to Instagram to confirm that Lilian was expecting his fifth child as he shared a video of her cradling her baby bump. 'A tiny miracle is on the best is yet to come,' the Wimbledon icon captioned his post. The pregnancy announcement comes less than one year after the couple's lavish wedding ceremony in Portofino, Italy, that Boris's youngest children - 23-year-old daughter Anna and son, Amadeus, 15 - skipped. Boris, who currently lives in Milan with Lilian, has been married twice before and has four children in total. He welcomed his firstborn, a son named Noah Gabriel, now 30, in 1994 with his wife Barbara Feltus. Their second child, Elias Balthasar, was born in 1999. The ex-couple separated after Boris had a one-night stand with Russian model Angela Ermakova during an encounter at London restaurant Nobu the same year. Boris carried a navy blazer and pulled his belongings behind him in a black suitcase and white duffel bag She added a few extra inches to her frame in a pair of strapped heels and toted her essentials in a black quilted shoulder bag Boris has said previously that he had put the encounter with Angela out of his mind, until she later made contact with him to say she was eight months pregnant. In his 2023 Apple documentary 'Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker', Boris described how on that fateful night he left his mother and pregnant wife alone in his hotel room to celebrate the end of his playing career after a fourth round defeat in Wimbledon. 'The first beer was opened right after the match,' he recalled. 'Then there was another beer. I wanted to go out with my coach, my physio and my [racket] stringer to celebrate. 'I said to my wife, "Tomorrow I will be a husband and father but tonight, one last time, I want to be a tennis player. "My wife was p****d off. I then had a long discussion with my mother on the balcony . . . and the last thing she said to me was, "Boris, just don't do anything stupid."' Later that evening, though, he went to Nobu where he met Angela in 1999. Eight months after their encounter, he received a fax from Angela saying she was pregnant. Boris initially denied paternity, but DNA tests proved that the child Anna (who had inherited his red hair) was indeed his, and he made a financial settlement with her mother — while also funding an expensive divorce from Barbara. In an interview for the film, Boris said he left Barbara after she kept bringing up his affair with Angela as he appeared to suggest their marriage broke down because she used his infidelity as a 'joker card' during arguments. Lilian concealed her baby bump under her stylish ensemble as she stepped out alongside Boris 'For months nobody knew yet [about the baby],' he said. 'But then every little thing we discussed, she came back with the joker card and said: 'You shut the f*** up, because if the world knew what you had done, you are lost.' Boris and Barbara's divorce was finalised in 2001 after agreeing a £10 million settlement. His second marriage to Dutch former model Lily Kerssenberg also ended acrimoniously when the pair split after nine years in 2018. In 2023, Lily alleged that Boris 'threw me and our son' Amadeus out of the house in an interview with German media outlet Bild, adding: 'I left him in 2018 and he can't forgive me for that.' 'When I left five years ago, he took away my house and car keys,' the actress continued. 'He threw me and our son out of the house. I didn't have a penny in cash, didn't know where to go. We spent the first night on a bench in a cafe.' At the time, she also alleged that Boris 'doesn't pay a penny in child support' and rarely saw his son but added 'I believe that he loves' him. Last September, Boris and Lilian tied the knot in front of 150 guests during a lavish, three-day wedding in Portofino - but Anna and Amadeus skipped the celebration. While Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, attended the festivities in Portofino as Boris's best men, both Anna and Amadeus were missing from the wedding party. It is not clear why the pair, who are seemingly now on good terms with their father, weren't invited - especially after Boris publicly spoke of how 'proud' he is of both children. Amadeus' mother Lily expressed her disappointment at the time, telling German magazine Bunte: 'His father didn't tell him anything about [the wedding]...he's wondering why he wasn't invited. 'When I approached Amadeus about it, he was completely taken by surprise. He knew nothing.' This despite the fact that Boris marked Amadeus' 14th birthday with a trip to Milan, earlier that year. Lilly disclosed that Amadeus eventually received an invitation via WhatsApp, but he did not attend the wedding. Meanwhile, Anna - who grew up between London and Monaco - revealed she discovered her tennis legend father was tying the knot after reading media reports. The singer, who won Let's Dance - the German version of the British series Strictly Come Dancing - has only spoken positively about her father in public. Ahead of the Let's Dance final, Boris recorded a message for his daughter, saying: 'You've already conquered the hearts of the Germans. 'You've taken them by storm. Your talent, your discipline, your performance and more – your personality, are amazing. And I couldn't be prouder.' After his 2024 wedding, Boris said Lilian - who works as a political risk manager - was the reason he 'survived' a jail sentence after he was convicted of insolvency crimes. The former world number one spent eight months of a 30-month sentence for tax evasion in Wandsworth prison, before being released in 2022. Describing Lilian - who remained by Boris's side through the trial - Boris told Stern magazine their relationship is 'perhaps the first partnership on equal terms' while reflecting on his chequered past and tumultuous personal life. 'No one is more important than the other,' he said. 'I need Lilian, and I hope she needs me too.'
