Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelosâ daughter, Lola, has ushered in summer with the ultimate throwback bikini photo. The 24-year-old took to Instagram on May 29 to repost a flawless sunbathing photograph of herself from August 2024.
The photos captured Lola soaking up the sun while lying on her front, dressed in a khaki bikini set featuring a bandeau top and matching bottoms. In another snap, the singer opted to go topless to avoid any dreaded tan lines. Lola accessorized her beach look with a chic printed headscarf, a pair of sunglasses, and beaded drop earrings. âIs this demure?â she penned in the caption at the time.
â#summerishere!â, she wrote alongside the post as she reshared it on her Instagram Stories.â
Lolaâs fashion
The singer and her famous mom often exchange style advice. âThere are so many things that I just canât or wonât wear,â Kelly told People. Iâm literally making a list in my head. I really try not to, at this age, [wear miniskirts] â and especially since I spend most of my time sitting in a stool or a desk, I try to wear longer skirts.â
âToday was a special occasion. Lola asked me to put on [the] skirt [sheâs wearing] and I said, âI just cannot.â Simply cannot. Past a certain age, you got to know when to hang up your disco shoes!â Kelly continued: â I think youâre in my closet a lot more than I even realize.â
âChic is such a â I think thatâs such a basic word to use, but you always have a touch of business as well in your outfits. You love a blazer, a high-waisted pant, a heel. Itâs not conservative ⊠Itâs very chic and minimalistic, but in a very beautiful and authentic way to you,â Lola added of her momâs fashion.
Lolaâs rising stardom
Lola is currently pursuing a music career and her sound can be described as soulful, bluesy R&B with jazzy undertones due to her mature, husky vocals over smooth beats, with comparisons to artists like Amy Winehouse and SZA.
Kellyâs daughter made her debut performance in London at The Lower Third, a multi-space music and cocktail venue on Denmark Street in Soho, back in December. The launch party celebrated her debut EP, âSorry, Itâs all about meâ. The night featured a performance from Lola, with a 6-track set of songs from her EP and a teaser to an upcoming single.
Kelly spoke to us about the show and how proud she felt of her daughter. âWe are beside ourselves. Sheâs been working so hard and her hard work paid off and guess what? We pulled off the ultimate surprise,â she shared.
âShe didnât know we were here and we wanted to wait until it was all over to surprise her. We didnât want to make her nervous.â
Lola also spoke to us about her surprise over her parentsâ attendance. âI cried because I didnât know they were coming!â added Lola. âYou saw my reaction!â
