Alexandra Daddario sparked concern as a 2022 photo of her was reposted on Instagram one year later. In 2023, the actress was featured on a fan account, with the photo reminding everyone of her bikini-clad shoot for Aerie. Three years ago, The White Lotus star stunned in a green-and-white swimsuit for a lake shoot in Louisiana, making headlines for showcasing her killer curves and for twinning with sister Catherine Daddario. In this shot, Daddario kneeled from a kayak while highlighting her sensational figure, but for one fan, something was looking a little “swollen.”

Alexandra’s original photos are still live. Netting herself north of 2 million Instagram likes for her Aerie photos, the actress showed off her sizzling curves with her sister, who wore a one-piece version of the same bathing suit. “Things we learned today: paddleboarding is harder than it looks. At least we got to be twins for a day in matching @aerie suits,” she wrote. The post earned celebrity approval from The White Lotus co-star, Sydney Sweeney.
