Julia Dunstall is one hot beach babe in a dazzling [swimsuit spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop) for Foam Magazine.

Getting you geared up for a sizzling summer season, the bathing suits featured in this editorial are on point with this year's hottest pieces, with [vibrant colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club), cut-out designs and [high-waisted bikini bottoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop). The most intriguing swimsuit is a technicolor one with a belly bearing cut-out, strapped down by a plastic belt buckle with a collared sleeveless shirt peering through the neckline. It may not be practical, but Dunstall is looking very major. Matched with casual wear of denim jackets and hooded vests, Dunstall is ready to rock the waves on the beach.

The Foam Magazine swimwear issue was photographed by Blossom Berkofsky and styled by Aya Kanai.
