You’re not alone if you did a doubletake over the model in Zimmermann’s new Summer 2023 Swim Collection. Indeed, the two-piece bandeaus are sexy . . . especially with gold jewelry accents.

The black and white graphic ‘sunflowers’ crochet dress is fabulous, but who is the blonde? We love the two-piece, strapless green bikini, but why does she look so familiar and yet . . . like a seaworthy, modern woman Aphrodite?

Have we underestimated this model? What a glamazon! [“Psst! Anne, you’re not supposed to use that word anymore.] What a glamazon!

Model Cara Taylor reminds us to never judge a book by its cover. Never ever! You never know the person living inside the mind of that brunette American model from Alabama.

Whether it’s three days, three months, or never looking back, Taylor reminds us that every woman should walk where angels do not tread.

Styled by Romy Freedman, Cara Taylor delivers the simmering Zimmermann call to buy for both yacht lovers and beach umbrella types in far-flung places or the local marina.
