A FASHION lover has come under fire after showing off her curves in a teeny bikini on a public beach.
TikTok user Martina Massettii sparked fury after uploading a clip where she was seen soaking up the sunshine in a skimpy bikini with kids nearby.

The young woman, who had jetted off to Tenerife, Spain, decided to enjoy the glorious weather in a teeny two-piece, which included tiny thongs.
Meanwhile, the top half of the beach outfit was a black bikini top with extra strap detailing around the bust and a small piece of fabric to cover her nipples.
But although the Italian woman seemed to be having the best time of her life, the reaction on social media was slightly different.
One of the clips, which sees Martina pose for the camera and show off her body, has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, racking up over a whopping 18million views.
While many defended her daring outfit, thousands of viewers were quick to criticise the holiday-goer and insisted she should’ve worn something more ”appropriate” for a family beach.
”Umm maam this is a family beach,” said one person who was not a fan of the skimpy bikini, as a second noted it was as ”bad as being naked”.
Another agreed, writing: ”The kid just tryna have a nice day at the beach.”
Someone else simply said: ”No no and NO!!!”
”Sometimes less, isn’t more!!!” a fourth chimed in with their verdict of the skimpy outfit.
But there were also plenty of those who flocked to defend the young woman – who has also since hit back at the haters.
Reminding others to focus on their own life, she said: ”This is actually a free beach so everyone can do whatever they want.”
She went on: ”You can appreciate yourself without insulting the others. No need to insult me.”
Luckily for the young fashionista, there was also heaps of support, especially from keen Romeos.
Why women should wear bikinis no matter their age or shape
IF you think you should hide your body this summer – think again!
Fabulous Magazine’s Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer has
Times have changed since 2015 when Protein World spent £250,000 on an ad campaign of a slim 20-something bikini clad model asking the reader “Are you beach body ready?” The uproar that followed about the objectification of women was global. Branded offensive, irresponsible and harmful, the verdict on the campaign and the social media uproar was well documented, and rightly so.
Now, I am happy to say that all sizes of women are represented in swimwear across the media landscape. Brands like JD Williams, In The Style and New Look, to name just a few, all work with models of all sizes and ages to promote their swimwear.
My social media feed is also full of ladies of all ages and sizes looking Fabulous in their swimmies. What started out as a trickle of shy bikini-clad selfies has now become a body-positive movement that makes us all feel good to get into our swimwear.
And why shouldn’t we! Our bodies are all completely different and we should be celebrating that fact.
At 53, I love bikinis, I love having an all over tan in the summer with as few white bits as possible. I don’t want to dumb myself down as I get older, I want to celebrate that I am still here! My aim is to keep on wearing bikinis well into my 80s if I am lucky enough to get there.
I have learnt to love the aging process. I will never look like I did in my 20s again, but I do enjoy looking after myself way more than I did back then. A better diet, more exercise and a lot of self-care makes me feel good on the inside as well as the outside.
I love that other cultures like to celebrate their elders. I think we should embrace this in western society instead of just fetishizing youth.
Aging isn’t something to be feared but embraced.
Wear the damn bikini, I am going to!
One person slammed the critics and said: ”Stop judging and worry about the grass that grows in your own yard.”
Another agreed and noted that the trolls were probably just jealous: ”They wish they had as much confidence as you!”
”You look great, and you have a positive attitude and positive energy!” a third chimed in.
” I don’t know why people have become so angry…”
”wear what ever makes you happy!” a viewer penned.
