Alabama Barker just proved that when it comes to being camera-ready in a bikini, she's always been the ultimate "diva".
The singer took to her Instagram Stories on September 21 to share a throwback photograph of herself posing in a black bikini on a pink striped towel as a young child on vacation. Alabama, who had long brunette hair at the time, smiled for the snap with a pair of pink sunglasses concealing her eyes. Another pair of oversized pink shades rested on top of her head as she doubled-up on the accessory.
"Been a diva," Alabama penned alongside the picture.

Today, Alabama infuses her swimwear sartorial agenda with playful bikini designs. During the summer, she rocked a butter-yellow bikini ensemble that consisted of a silver-studded tie-up top and a pair of matching hot pants. The playful design looked so cool styled with platform yellow heels as Alabama posed in her backyard for a series of snaps.

The crochet material trailed down the torso for an asymmetric design and attached to the micro bikini bottoms.
Alabama also enjoys pairing crochet bikini tops with matching skirts – she wore an orange version adorned with a red shell print with a pair of matching lace-up heels. Other standout bikini moments she's shared on social media include a butter-yellow micro number detailed with soft-pink line accents on the tie-side details.

Alabama was forced to respond to a series of comments about her body last month. "This is not very role model of me, but I'm gonna get on the highest dose of Ozempic," she said on TikTok. "And I'm going to become so skinny, you're gonna tell me I need a burger, because the way that people body shame me is [expletive] disgusting."

In July 2024, Alabama admitted that she had tried "weight loss medication" because she was "tired" of the body shaming she had received online. "I also have a thyroid problem and an autoimmune disease. So that's one of the main reasons why I have weight gain," she explained.
