Jennifer Lopez took the online world by storm this weekend as she made #Bennifer Instagram-official. The 52-year-old star posted a series of images celebrating her birthday on a yacht, posing in a patterned bikini from Valentino and a flowy vintage cover-up. She completed her summery look with a green hat and layered necklaces from Foundrae which were carefully selected as a birthday present by her (old) new beau.
But what really caught our eye was the dreamy cape-like cover-up she donned over her two-piece swimsuit. As demonstrated by JLo, a good cover-up can elevate any swimsuit and looks flattering on everybody. Styled the right way, it can even be thrown over shorts and a top or a sundress for a boho-chic vibe.

Whether you’re spending your summer relaxing by the pool at a resort or hitting the beach, an airy cover-up is a must-have for your warm-weather wardrobe. Not only will it protect you from the sun when you’re spending too much time outdoors, but will also keep you cosy on breezy nights.
Want to recreate the star’s look? Scroll down for a round-up of overlays you can shop to do just that. Evoke glamour in the printed silk kimono wrap from AK-OK by Anamika Khanna, or play it cool in the abstract Lapis kimono jacket from JODI. The midnight-hued overlay from Nicobar is perfect for lounging by the hotel pool with a drink in hand and won’t seem out of place if you wore it to dinner with a chic camisole and pants.
