Standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling grid of black metal-framed windows, Kendall Vertes faced the camera head-on with her full body on display. She shifted her weight slightly to one leg, with her hip popped out for that curve-enhancing angle.
Long, loose blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders and down her back in soft waves. She wore a chocolate-brown bikini featuring a triangle top with thin adjustable straps and matching low-rise bottoms.

Over 25,000 fans liked the post within 13 hours. Fans were excited about the update, leaving comments like, “So lovely and flawless,” “Hottie,” “Beautiful,” and “Unreal.” One fan even outrightly thanked her for the bikini post.
Before this, the last bikini snap Kendall Vertes shared was in October, when she rocked another brown set at The Scene Pool deck in Las Vegas. In the image, she looked stunning in a keyhole cross-neck bikini top, while the bottoms stayed hidden beneath a multicolored sarong.
But even when she isn’t posting swimwear, her outfits often highlight her figure in eye-catching ways.

To mark her 23rd birthday on December 9, Kendall Vertes treated fans the day after to three photos of herself in an ultra-short two-piece that screamed “legs.”
She wore a fitted, black, long-sleeve turtleneck tucked into a bubble miniskirt. Christian Louboutin Yangzee boots elevated her frame, making her long legs stand out more. Fans filled the comments with birthday wishes, with one fan calling her a “hottie bday princess.”
Most of her posts through the rest of December featured more covered-up winter looks. But January rolled in and brought the heat right back.

On January 5, Kendall Vertes kicked off the new year with a photo dump from a night out. The first slide showed her in a plunging red mini dress with black stiletto heels.

By January 26, Kendall Vertes doubled down on supermodel energy with a steamy photoshoot captioned “Just keep watching.”
The carousel started strong with a picture of Vertes in a white crop top flashing underboob layered under a fur crop jacket, paired with low-rise micro denim shorts. She kept the flirty crop top in another slide, but swapped in a denim jacket and pants.
In another, she ditched the top entirely for an open denim jacket and matching bottoms, leaving her chest and midriff fully exposed. Fans had a hard time picking favorites because each photo was equally “hot.” A fan commented, “Model vibes,” and Vertes liked the comment.
