PHOTOS Jordin Sparks hosts pool party in bikini, says ‘for ME, this was HUGE’
American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks co-hosted the grand opening of the Tao Beach season at The Venetian in Las Vegas on Saturday, and the 24-year-old singer showed off her trimmed-down figure on the red carpet in a neon two-piece swimsuit!
Jordin, who made headlines last year after losing more than 50 pounds over 18 months, appears to have continued her stringent workout and diet regimen, and the results have not only impacted her physically, but mentally as well. She shared this next photo on instagram prior to the Tao party and wrote, “My bathing suit today! BIG step for me to wear something like this on a carpet. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it was for a pool party…but for ME, this was HUGE. I’m still learning more about my health & body confidence everyday! I always want to keep growing!”
Jordin then added, “Some of the pics might look crazy & that’s okay! Will there be some unflattering angles? Yeah. Will I have some jiggle here, some flab there? YUP. Am I continuously working to be fit & healthy? SURE AM! I’ve come a long way from where I was! I love my life! I love who I am & who I’m becoming!! One step at a time… 🙂 ”
I looked at lots of photos of Jordin from Saturday from all angles numerous times (tough job, huh?) and I can’t find a single unflattering angle! And I see no signs of jiggle here or flab there. 🙂 See for yourself:
In addition to talking about her self-confidence, Jordin also gave an interesting history for what she was wearing. “This bathing suit is Pan Dulce from the mid 90’s,” she wrote. “My parents owned a tanning salon for a bit & when they closed it, I kept all the extra suits. They didn’t fit me then but they sure do now! I JUST took the tag off of this one today!!” So what about her accessories? “Wedges: @louboutinworld Sunglasses: @lindafarrow ultimate cat-eye. In LOVE with these!”
And speaking of Jordin being in love, her co-host for the Tao pool party was her boyfriend Jason Derulo — and the couple was the epitome of hawtness together!
And speaking of Jason Derulo, be sure to check out his brand new album, Talk Dirty, that just came out last week!
To wrap things up, here are some before and after photos of Jordin Sparks’ weight loss from Saturday and from the NAACP Awards in 2008:
I think Jordin has always been a gorgeous gal, but congratulations to her for setting a goal and achieving it! My guess is that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Jordin and those unused swimsuits over the summer. 😉
