Anastasia ‘Stassie’ Karanikolaou, best known as Kylie Jenner’s closest friend, turned heads while showcasing her stunning hourglass figure in a lime green bikini during a beach outing in Cabo San Lucas over the Thanksgiving holiday. The 25-year-old social media sensation flaunted her enviable curves as she strolled along the sandy shores near the luxurious Nobu Hotel, where her older sister, Alexia, recently celebrated her romantic beach engagement.
The influencer completed her stylish beach look with chic 90s-inspired sunglasses and gold jewelry, exuding effortless glamor. Stassie delighted her 10.9 million Instagram followers by sharing up-close photos and videos of her beachside moments on her Instagram Stories.
Joined by a friend dressed in a blue string bikini, Stassie soaked up the sun and enjoyed the outdoor amenities of the luxury hotel. The duo was seen playing in the sand, performing impressive handstands, and basking under the Mexican sun. Afterward, Stassie rinsed off her sandy skin and long, dark hair in a public outdoor shower, much to the delight of her fans.
The model also posted a series of sultry snaps on her Instagram, captioning one, “I stay on ur mind,” as she washed off sand from her toned body. Stassie has been capturing attention all week with her playful poses and stunning beach looks, keeping her followers entertained with a variety of jaw-dropping outfits during her getaway. Whether lounging on the beach, working out at the hotel gym, or posing on a yacht in a sleek black bikini, Stassie has consistently showcased her flawless figure.
Thanksgiving was extra special for Stassie this year, as she took to Instagram to celebrate her sister Alexia’s engagement. The star shared the joyous moment with her sister, raising champagne glasses in celebration and beaming with happiness.
Stassie’s close bond with Kylie Jenner has been widely recognized, especially since becoming Jenner’s “ride or die” after her fallout with former friend Jordyn Woods. The friendship between Stassie and Kylie, who have known each other since childhood, deepened following the scandal involving Jordyn and basketball player Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian’s ex. Earlier this year, the duo collaborated on a successful Stassie X Kylie Collection for Kylie Cosmetics.
In a recent interview with People, Stassie opened up about her friendship with the reality TV star, stating, “We know too much about each other. We’re stuck with each other forever.” She also touched upon her challenging upbringing, mentioning her mother’s struggle with addiction and emphasizing the importance of her chosen family. “My friends have always been my rock,” Stassie shared. “They are the family I was able to choose.”
Stassie’s sun-soaked vacation and her continued close bond with Kylie Jenner remind fans why she’s one of the most captivating personalities on social media.
