Marbana’s Beach Belles

Sand, sea and style! It was the credo at last weekend’s most fashionable beach address — Frenchman’s Cove in Portland — for the second staging of the Easter Sunday-hosted Marbana bash. Prints, solids, fringes, and local designer talent were high on the ‘must’ list. Your AW Fashion style watchers report.

Home for the Easter holidays, Belize-based attorney-at-law Khadeen Palmer supported local design talent, pairing her white Jae Jolly swimsuit with a Yahdie Conscious cover-up.

UWI clerical assistant Sakina Beaumont played with prints and solids in a high-waisted maxi skirt and halter bra.

Entrepreneur Cordia Chambers turned heads in her floral-shaped pasties and tapered pant ensemble — crediting Roya’s Fashion in Bargain Mall for the daring get-up.

Natalia Leon — visiting from Qatar — kept it beach-chic in a grey Forever 21 ribbed slit dress worn over her WetSeal bikini.

Dr Debi-Ann Newell styled in a floor-grazing Lulu B multi-print caftan with a pink monokini and Bridget sandals.

Visual artist Tabitha Beckford in a bohemian-chic high-waisted bikini and fringe cover-up with complementing Bridget sandals and fedora.

Pulse model Gabrielle Davis was beach babe-perfect in a Jae Jolly Starfish Bloom bikini.

Jamaican Teas sales and marketing manager Laura Marley (left) and her Orkin Jamaica general manager bestie Amanda Thwaites hit the beach in Rock designer Jae Jolly’s bikinis and their Bridget sandals.

FAME FM ambassador Olivia Nelson kept it cool in a midriff-baring monokini with a colour-blocked cover-up and flower headband.

UWI, Mona Geology student Chandelle Samlal rocked a Jae Jolly Starfish Bloom bikini and Kiskadee cover-up.

Coldwell Banker realtor Kayana Walker (left) and her Florida-based sis Kerrian Walker, administrator at Mill Creek Residential, both wore Julan-designed bikinis.
