Searches For Black Bandeaus Up 400% ‘Cos Kim Kardashian Rules Everything

When you clocked Kim Kardashian‘s NSFW selfie, were you overcome with the inexplicable urge to buy a black bandeau so you could recreate her lewk? No? Oh. Right. Must just be EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THE WORLD.

According to e-commerce site Lyst, global searches for “black bandeau” bikini tops shot up 406% within 48 hours of her posting the barely-censored photo that inspired an Internet meltdown / serious Bette Midler beef

So thirsty are women to either recreate Kim’s iconic ode to the naked body, black bandeaus are now the site’s top trending item in the US and UK – three months out from when bikinis sales typically ramp up.
Lyst says the most viewed styles are by Lisa Marie Fernandez, AllSaints, ASOS, Onia and La Perla, with a one particular Lisa Marie style racking up 82,000 page views in the last three days.
The Natalie rubber neoprene bandeau bikini is $373 over at net-a-porter.
We’re going to hazard a guess that the unseasonal frenzy has also been helped along by Kylie Jenner‘s Insta-appearance in a ‘censor strip’-style bikini top 24 hours after Kim posted her nude selfie.
