Camila Mendes’ hot look in a charcoal bikini stirred over five hundred thousand Instagram users to stop and double-tap. The four-photo carousel progressively zoomed in until it zeroed in on the star of the show: the honey mustard dressing she spotlighted in the caption. There were thousands of comments admiring the 31-year-old actress. Although some comments looked suspiciously like Instagram bots at work, all eyes could see and agree that Mendes looked “so hot.”

With her hair wrapped in a bun and a pair of librarian glasses framing her face, Camila Mendes looked effortlessly chic in a charcoal string bikini. The triangular cups of the bikini top hugged her bust, leaving her glowing cleavage in full view.

The bikini bottom was hidden beneath a skirt, with the strings peeking out. The summer sun melted against her skin for a glow that was unquestionable. She was described by fans as the “hottest.”

In the caption, Mendes admitted that she is “always and forever a honey mustard girl.” Truly, in the slides, she’s seen holding a pack of honey mustard. The second slide zoomed in closer. By the third, she was sipping it.

The fourth slide was a close-up of the mustard itself with a glimpse of her manicure. A fan warned, “Ma’am, I don’t think you’re supposed to drink it.” But some fans insinuated they’d start liking it since she does.

A few others stood in solidarity, writing casually, “Cami, you’re so real for this and honestly same.” Another one called, “Honey mustard baddies rise up.”

In August last year, Camila Mendes’ casting in the live-action “Masters of the Universe” movie was announced. The highly anticipated movie, set for release in June 2026, stars other notable actors like Idris Elba and Nicholas Galitzine.

Mendes plays the role of Teela, who was a warrior goddess in the “Masters of the Universe” franchise. This information prompted a fan to call her “goddess of the universe” in her charcoal bikini post.

Fittingly, Teela is often depicted with fiery red hair, and Mendes is fully committed. In November 2024, Mendes debuted her red hair, a stark contrast to her signature jet black hair in CW’s “Riverdale.”

Since the switch, Mendes has rocked red hair consistently. On her 31st birthday this summer, she stunned fans in a shimmering white mini dress with a square neckline, sequined fringe, and a thigh-high slit.

One fan described this dress as “spectacular,” while another demanded to know the name of her dye color. Overall, her radiant look left many shocked at her age, with followers insisting she looked far younger.

After 8 years in acting, Camila Mendes decided to start her own production company with her NYU friend, Rachel Matthews. They launched the company, Honor Roles, in 2024.

Their first project, “Griffin in Summer,” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was a breakout success. The indie film earned the Founders Award for Best U.S. Narrative Feature and also took home Best Screenplay.

Fans commended Mendes for “taking control” of her career and making such a bold move into producing.

Camila Mendes famously dated “Riverdale” co-star Charles Melton from 2018 to 2019. Following that, she dated photographer Grayson Vaughan from 2020 to 2021.

In 2022, she met musician Rudy Mancuso while working on the film “Música.” The pair have been together ever since. She’s even featured him in some of her posts. She also celebrated their 3rd anniversary in July, melting the hearts of fans invested in the relationship.
