Vicky Pattison is fresh off her trip to Iceland and has been hailed as giving ‘bond girl vibes’ by fans for her flattering tummy-control swimsuit which hides a meaningful detail
After taking part in the amazing Coppafeel trek across Iceland last month, Vicky Pattison opted to spend a few more days resting and relaxing in Reykjavik before heading home. During her trip she shared plenty of pics, with one in particular catching the attention of fans.
Posing in one of the country’s famous lagoons, one fan commented “Bond girl vibes” on the snap of her emerging from the water, whilst others asked for details of her swimwear. Thankfully for those looking to create their own Bond girl moment, we’ve tracked down Vicky’s exact swimsuit and it’s still available in all sizes.

In the photo, Vicky was wearing Next’s Zipped Shaping Tummy Control Swimsuit, which you can still pick up for £40 in sizes six to 24. The swimsuit has tummy control mesh which helps to sculpt and support your body, with high cut legs and scoop neckline for a flattering fit.
The non-wired design has fully removable pads in the chest, but this hasn’t just been done for a case of personal preference or easy washing. The internal chest pockets are extra wide to allow those who’ve had a mastectomy to insert their own prosthesis if they prefer, or adjust the cups to fit the shape that feels most comfortable for them.
Considering Vicky’s Coppafeel trek was to raise money and support for those struggling with breast cancer, it was the perfect choice of swimsuit for the occasion. Of course Next isn’t the only place you can pick up swimsuits with these design features in mind.
At Marks & Spencer, the Post surgery Tummy Control Belted Swimsuit is £35 and features both a tummy control panel and non-wired padded cups for added comfort. The dual pockets are also specially built-in to allow your prosthesis room, with added stretch to keep everything feeling secure.
At Land’s End, the Grecian V-neck Slender Swimsuit, £85, also features a soft cup bra with prosthesis pockets and is made from a high-compression material to hold everything in place and make you feel comfortable. If you want a little less compression, it’s worth sizing up.
However Vicky’s Zipped Shaping Tummy Control Swimsuit from Next is also available in a choice of three different colours. Her ecru version, which features black piping around the edges and a contrasting black zipper, was perfect for nailing the Bond girl vibe.
You can also pick it up in other colours, including khaki green with black trim and zip details, or bright pink with bold red piping and zip for a more colourful, playful look. Shoppers have also praised it, with one saying: “Good design and nice colour. I ordered a size bigger than usual as there was a note on the description to say this is a smaller fit than usual. I didn’t find that to be the case and so returned it for the next size down- which is fine!”
Another added: “I love the colour and style. Didn’t realise it was ‘tummy control’, feels pretty normal to me. The pads in cups move around which is annoying, I suppose that’s in case you want to take them out but as a result they need rearranging after wearing / rinsing etc Good cut, good fit, nice style. Am pleased with it and it was a reasonable price so overall would recommend.”
There’s only one review not giving it a full five stars, which simply says: “Is a nice swimsuit.”
