Chloe Bailey was a total island babe during her vacation in St. Lucia, and she just gave her fans multiple new looks to gush over.

The first outfit to open Bailey’s photo drop consisted of a peanut brown matching bikini top and bottom, adorned with a brown netted dress. She wore gold earrings and a nice soft glam makeup look to match the overall relaxed vibe. Just as amazing as the first look was the second, which featured a patterned ensemble with a deep plunge that went all the way down to her lower midriff.

Also featured in this photo set was a stylish green jumpsuit, as well as a lovely black one-shoulder garment. Still, the real crowdpleaser had to be the bright neon yellow one-piece. What’s more, all of the attire complemented her radiant skin exceptionally well.

In addition to being the backdrop for Bailey’s stunning swimsuits and fabulous outfits, St. Lucia was also the place where she was inspired to write her sophomore album, Trouble in Paradise. The project was all about how Bailey navigated finding inner peace while embracing every imperfection.

“I can walk around with no makeup, I can walk around loving my body, I can go to the ocean, truly just pray to God and thank him for the blessings that I have,” Bailey expressed with regards to St. Lucia being her muse. “And it reminds me that life isn’t all about what my career is. It’s not about outer validation, but the inner peace.”

The 26-year-old continued, stating, “I just really wanted people to feel the peace and the love that this place has brought me, where it was able to open up my creative mind and my creative spirit to literally write my troubles away in paradise. And the album feels like what a summer fling feels like, the back and forth of it, the highs, the lows, the love.”

Leaving a profound impact on her music, as well as her life in general, Bailey also noted that she desires to continue to chase peace and joy in every aspect of her life.

“So this year I want to be more at peace and more disciplined with my emotions. That’s my goal for this year, and it’s already been off to a great start, where I’m learning so much about myself, where I’m learning the power of not revealing everything all the time, keeping some things to myself. Not everybody deserves access to your thoughts, your dreams, your aspirations, your inner thoughts or even your emotions,” she added.

And given how tranquil Bailey looked in her recent Instagram photos, it’s safe to say she’s doing right by her goals.
