"Much like the mermaids of pop culture canon (e.g., Aquamarine and the H2O: Just Add Water girlies), Hosk seems to fall back on her aquatic leanings whenever she's near a body of water, incorporating siren elements whenever possible. In 2025 alone, she rocked bras in the shape of shells, sequined bikinis, and aqueous dresses in vivid seafoam. On Wednesday, Jan. 7, Hosk returned to her watery MO while on vacation, wearing a dress that looked like it was covered in mermaid tail scales."
"Though it's unclear where Hosk has been spending her downtime as of late, she's clearly been enjoying her vacay, consistently posting photos from her trip and showing off her chic 'fits. One such ensemble was shared via an Instagram carousel, in which she posed in front of an infinity pool with the caption, "[bubble] [mermaid] energyyyy" (the "bubble" and "mermaid" being emojis)."
Mermaidcore aesthetics surged on social platforms and in wardrobes, influencing beauty, nails, and interiors and recurring every summer. Elsa Hosk frequently adopts aquatic-inspired looks, favoring shell-shaped bras, sequined bikinis, and seafoam dresses throughout 2025. While on vacation, she posed by an infinity pool wearing a sheer, white, ankle-length gown covered in clear paillettes that resembled capiz shells and evoked mermaid scales. She paired the gown with minimal styling—no bra, shoes, or jewelry—opting for a slicked bun and barely there makeup. She also modeled a vibrant turquoise button-down in a separate photo set.
