Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ 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. “Is this demure?” she penned in the caption at the time.
“#summerishere!”, she wrote alongside the post as she reshared it on her Instagram Stories.”
Lola’s fashion
The singer and her famous mom often exchange style advice. “There are so many things that I just can’t or won’t wear,” Kelly told People. I’m literally making a list in my head. I really try not to, at this age, [wear miniskirts] – and especially since I spend most of my time sitting in a stool or a desk, I try to wear longer skirts.”
“Today was a special occasion. Lola asked me to put on [the] skirt [she’s wearing] and I said, ‘I just cannot.’ Simply cannot. Past a certain age, you got to know when to hang up your disco shoes!” Kelly continued: ” I think you’re in my closet a lot more than I even realize.”

It’s not conservative … It’s very chic and minimalistic, but in a very beautiful and authentic way to you,” Lola added of her mom’s fashion.
Lola’s 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.
Kelly’s 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, “Sorry, It’s all about me”. The night featured a performance from Lola, with a 6-track set of songs from her EP and a teaser to an upcoming single.

“She didn’t know we were here and we wanted to wait until it was all over to surprise her. We didn’t want to make her nervous.”
Lola also spoke to us about her surprise over her parents’ attendance. “I cried because I didn’t know they were coming!” added Lola. “You saw my reaction!”
