Ariana Grande stuns in rare bikini snap

US pop sensation Ariana Grande is known to turn up the heat in her music videos, but the star typically keeps thing pretty low key on social media.

It seems she has made an exception this week, however, wowing fans with a couple of sizzling snaps taken on a recent holiday.

Shared to Instagram on Wednesday, the photos were taken on her holiday to Amangiri resort in Canyon Point, Utah with her boyfriend Dalton Gomez.

The resort is a favourite of Kylie Jenner, and it seems the Rain On Me singer took inspiration from the makeup mogul, including for a couple of rare bikini photos in her post.

Sporting a mint-coloured string bikini, the star snapped a couple of up close and personal selfies, grinning in the desert sun, with the rocky terrain setting off the brilliant colour.

In another, she shared a snap taken from below showing her chest and the underside of her jaw in which three of her reported 55 tattoos are on display.

One, a delicate leaf, is seen peeking out from beneath her left bikini triangle, while a Japanese phrase above her left elbow is also visible.

The tattoo reads "うたいましょう", which translates to "let's sing”.

On her neck, her famous crescent moon tattoo can also be seen.

Other snaps she included show the resorts famous step detailing, a desert squirrel, a pair of chic penny loafers and a very close selfie with boyfriend Dalton Gomez.

Fans go wild for desert snaps

Fans quickly flooded the string of photos with comments.

“You are GLOWING,” one gushed.

“Plot twist: Ariana Grande is, in fact, mother nature,” drag queen Pattie Gonia joked.

Even her mum weighed in, Joan Grande writing, “You are the cutest” in an adorable comment.

She’s not the only celeb flashing a little skin during lockdown.

Rita Ora left fans almost speechless when she uploaded a series of snaps to her Instagram account last week, showing off some skin as she decided to ditch the bikini for the occasion and go topless.
