France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: How would you describe the Cupshe x Kelsey Anderson collection?
KA: It's sexy, classy, and it's got a little something for everybody. There are some fun, vibrant colors, and then some more neutral, muted tones. I would say it's sophisticated, sexy—pack your bags, go on a trip to Europe.
Cupshe x Kelsey Anderson Bon Voyage One-Piece Swimsuit
"I think it's just a very classy, timeless look that I really love. I keep going back to that Chanel look—that's what I was thinking when we put the collection together."

France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: Your hair is iconic. What are some of your summer essentials?
KA: During the summer, my main go-to is a curl cream. I usually wear my hair natural a lot during the summer because of the humidity—whether I’m going to the pool, the lake, or the ocean.
For me, a good curl cream that you can just throw in your hair and let it dry is essential during the summer.
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream
"I like the SheaMoisture Curl Cream. I use that one a lot. It's very moisturizing."
Customer Ratings: 12,700+ 5-star Amazon reviews and 5,900+ 5-star Ulta reviews
Kerastase Curl Manifesto Refresh Absolu Spray
"I love this spray for my second day hair. If I wear my hair natural one day, it tends to get frizzy the next day after sleeping, with all the rubbing on the pillow and stuff. You just spray it in your hair, and it makes it look so much better."
Customer Ratings: 12,700+ 5-star Amazon reviews

E!: Do you have a go-to lip product for summer?

France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: Do you have a go-to scent?
KA: The YSL Libre is great. I also really get so many compliments on the Charlotte Tilbury Joyphoria too.
Yves Saint Laurent YSL Libre for Women Eau de Parfum Spray
"I’d say the YSL one smells kind of floral, but it's not too sweet. It has a subtle balance."
France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: Are there any beauty products you swear by for that summer glow?
KA: I honestly just use a lot of moisturizer. I like a really thick moisturizer. I also make sure I’m well-sunscreened, and then I’ll put a light BB cream over my sunscreen or moisturizer.
PCA Skin ReBalance Daily Moisturizer
"I really like the PCA Skin moisturizer, but I’m always trying new things. As long as my face feels moisturized, I’m good."
Customer Ratings: 1,500+ 5-star Amazon reviews
Erborian CC Cream SPF 25
"I got this recently and I love it. It's got SPF 25 in it, so that's an extra bonus."
More Celebrity Fans: Sofia Richie
Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin Luminous Hydrating Foundation
"When I do a full face of makeup, I use the Makeup by Mario foundation. It’s the best. It gives you fuller coverage, but it still looks glowy and natural."
France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: Which suit from the collection is best for people who like to stay active during summer?
KA: There’s this green bikini that I think would be perfect. You could totally run around in it all day. I could see someone playing beach volleyball in that one—it’s really great for the active girls.
Cupshe x Kelsey Anderson Wish You Were Here Bikini Set
"It’s a great suit because of the support, the material, and just the overall structure."
More from Kelsey: "It’s supportive in all the right areas. And for the bottoms—there are no ties, so you don’t have to worry about anything coming undone. It just fits really well and stays put."
France and Jesse/Cupshe

France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: What was it like being part of the design process for the collection?
KA: I was part of the entire process from start to finish. I was really into the swatches and got sent all the different styles. I’d give feedback like, “Let’s bring this down a bit” or “This should be a little higher.” It was so cool to be involved every step of the way and put my own style and ideas into these suits.
E!: What design details were most important to you when creating this collection?
KA: I'm a smaller-chested woman, so I wanted styles that would be flattering for women like me—but I also kept women with fuller chests in mind.
A lot of my friends have bigger chests, and I know how hard it can be to find suits that offer the right support. It was really important to me that this collection had something for everyone—different body shapes and sizes. So many of the pieces are designed to be flattering and supportive no matter what you need.
France and Jesse/Cupshe
E!: How do you want women to feel in these clothes?
KA: I just want them to feel like their best selves, to embrace the summer vibes. A vacation always feels so exciting—you're always looking forward to it, and it's so much fun. Living in the moment on vacation is what it's all about. I want them to feel beautiful and embrace that feeling.
Whenever you feel good, everything's better. When you feel confident, it just makes your whole day better.
