Summer hasn't officially started yet, but Kylie Jenner is already making waves — and racking up millions of likes — with a sizzling swimsuit photo from her getaway to Turks and Caicos.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder posted a series of vacation snaps on Instagram Tuesday with the caption “Kylie summer trip,” and within just five hours, the post had already amassed over 1.6 million likes. In the standout shot, Jenner poses in a flirty pink bikini, soaking up the sun with friends.
While Jenner is primarily known as a social media influencer and business mogul, she's also become a familiar face in the NBA world this year. That's because she's been attending New York Knicks playoff games alongside her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, a lifelong Knicks fan. Chalamet clearly got Jenner hooked just in time for the team's first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999.
With the Knicks enjoying a lengthy break between the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals, Jenner took the opportunity to sneak in a quick vacation. But don't expect her to miss the action once the Finals tip off Wednesday night. Fans are already speculating that she and Chalamet will be courtside for Game 1.
If not then, they'll almost certainly be at Madison Square Garden when the series shifts to New York for Game 3. The Knicks' home court has been electric this postseason, and having celebrities like Jenner and Chalamet in attendance only adds to the buzz.
Jenner's vacation timing was perfect — she got some much-needed R&R before diving back into the high-stakes world of NBA fandom. And her Instagram followers clearly approved, flooding the post with compliments and making it one of the most-liked celebrity swimsuit shots of the week.
For context, Jenner's 1.6 million likes in five hours is impressive, but it's not quite the viral phenomenon that Kate Upton's zero-gravity swimsuit video generated, which racked up over two million views. Still, it's a testament to Jenner's massive social media reach and her ability to command attention even when she's on vacation.
As the NBA Finals get underway, all eyes will be on the Knicks — and on the stars cheering them on from courtside seats. If Jenner's vacation photos are any indication, she's ready to bring that same energy back to the Garden.
