While we debate whether or not to whack the heating on, some continue to frolic in the tropics - armed with a swimwear arsenal to die for. Included in the mix of out-of-office A-listers is British actress Lily James, whose Instagram feed remains the source of both our holiday inspiration and off-duty wardrobe.
The 36-year-old is currently kicking back beachside, showcasing snippets of her sun-drunk sojourn with her followers online. Taking to social media over the weekend, the Hollywood insider shared her latest look for all to gander at - a sleek, black bikini in a classic bandeau style, which she paired with a white baseball cap.

Lily, who is also known for her angelic voice, previously collaborated with the guitarist, sharing a cover of Cinderella’s A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes back in spring.
The star posed on a large stretch of white sandy beach while snapping the picture, which shielded her face from the camera. She wore her brunette, shoulder-length hair down loose in salty, wet waves, allowing all eyes to fall on her laid-back choice of accessory.

Back in July, Lily enjoyed some time away from set, jetting off to another undisclosed location in search of some serotonin-boosting sunshine.
Sporting a gingham bandeau bikini complete with black bikini bottoms, the multi-hyphenate made a case for mismatched swimwear - completing her attire with a checked headscarf that held her then-blonde tresses in place.
Beside her perched Prada’s raffia tote - a design coveted by cool-girls across Europe, in addition to a pair of pale suede Birkenstock Bostons and a book.
