Britney Spears Debuts Poolside Pop Chic in Marina Del Rey

In a flash of purple and paparazzi nostalgia, Britney Spears turned the Ritz-Carlton pool into her own Y2K runway—sun-drenched, playful, and unmistakably hers.

There’s something about Britney in 2009—post-Circus, pre-Instagram—that feels like a snapshot of pop culture in flux. On August 17th, at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Rey, Spears was photographed poolside with her sons, Sean and Jayden, wearing a vivid purple bikini that quickly earned its nickname: “purplicious”.

The bikini itself? A classic halter-cut two-piece in a saturated violet hue, hugging her frame with the kind of confidence that only comes from surviving the tabloid whirlwind. No designer attribution was confirmed at press time, but the look echoed the playful minimalism of early-2000s swimwear—think Juicy Couture meets Malibu mom.
