This is the double denim outfit (DDO) to top all the DDOs we’ve featured. Amazingly, Rihanna achieves that feat with so little — that is, by wearing a denim bikini!

Rihanna flaunted her trimmed, toned, and tanned figure in these summery shots she posted on her Instagram and Twitter accounts, which (for those of you who don’t know yet) are filled with Rihanna’s personal pictures of her in various states of undress.

Rihanna has been loving denim lately, hasn’t she? We’ve seen her in a denim jumpsuit, a three-denim-trends-at-once look, and a triple denim outfit. Now, even her swimwear is made of denim, too!

Okay, so this might not be a double denim outfit, but since it’s two separate pieces, technically, it could be. Rihanna’s defiant DDO is this bra and brief bikini set with removable halter straps from Agent Provocateur.

The material is, of course, not real denim but is a stretch cotton fabric instead. However, the rivets, metal buttons, and belt loop waistband are all definitely real. The faux scoop pockets in front and at the back only add to the realism. You can buy this bra and brief separately or get them as a set.

Rihanna may be the first to pass off the double denim outfit with a bikini here on our blog, but denim has always been a popular look for swimwear.
