Actress Alexandra Shipp is known for her roles in films, including Aaliyah: the princess of R&B (Aliyah), Straight outta Compton (Kimberly Woodruff), the x-men film franchise (Storm), and more recently in musical drama tick, tick… BOOM! (Susan Wilson), among others.

When she’s not on set, the Phoenix native loves the great outdoors and often wears a bikini, as seen in the stunning bikini photos below (taken in Khoa Lak, Thailand). She captioned the photos of herself modeling a lipstick-patterned two-piece swimsuit with a poem, which begins: “having no shame: unmoved by disgrace.”

Shipp’s famous fans and friends are going wild over the photos. His tick, tick… BOOM! co-star Vanessa Hudgens (musical high school) dropped a peach emoji, others leave compliments including “so sexy and gorgeous.”

When Shipp shared the topless bikini photos above, she captioned the series with another poem, which begins, “allows (something) to return to its resting position by ceasing to exert pressure on it; surrender.”

Get ready to see more of Shipp: she’ll appear on the big screen next in Greta Gerwig’s next film Barbie. Shipp plays “Writer Barbie” with Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Ryan Gosling (Ken), among others. See the trailer below. Barbie hits theaters on July 21.

PS The lipstick pattern bikini above is from the Frankies Bikinis x Sydney Sweeney collaboration.
