TikTok star Lexi Rivera is channeling a “tropical island vibe” with her Cupshe partnership — and she’s feeling her best while doing it.
“I think the swimsuits and cover ups speak for themselves, honestly,” Rivera, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the Thursday, January 8, launch. “Those are what makes me feel the most confident. Just like, if I’m wearing a cute outfit ever I’m like, ‘OK, I feel good.’ So I think this collection just makes you feel confident.”
The Cupshe x Lexi Rivera collaboration — which was shot on the Kaʻaʻawa Beach in Hawaii — features new swimwear, beach cover-ups and vacation dresses, giving a coastal vibe with a youthful perspective.
“One thing about me is I love swimsuits,” Rivera exclusively told Us. “I also live in California, so here it’s kind of warm all year round, so I’m wearing swimsuits all the time. And Cupshe as a brand, I just love. So it’s really cool to partner with them.”

As for Rivera’s favorite piece in the “Island Time” collection, the influencer gushed that the leopard printed swim suit is “very cute.” In Rivera’s perspective, her Cupshe collection is very versatile.
“The good thing about the dresses is you can kind of dress them up or dress them down. You can wear them as cover ups if you want, but you can also just wear them at night to dinner and with heels or something,” she explained. “You can wear them all different ways, which is nice.”
When she’s not posing in her swimwear, Lexi can be found posting online — and following in the footsteps of creator and older brother Brent Rivera.
“He’s the reason I’m even doing this. I would have never considered even being like an influencer if he hadn’t done it first,” Lexi reflected of Brent, 27. “He’s the hardest working person I’ve ever known. So whenever I’m feeling like, ‘Oh, I’m tired today,’ I look at him and he’s still going and has been for the last 15 years. I’m like, ‘OK, I need to get my act together.’ So he’s definitely just an inspiration.”

Lexi went on to create her own following, amassing more than 8 million and 29.5 million followers to date on Instagram and TikTok, respectively.
“I would like to say that I’m pretty relatable,” Lexi exclusively told Us. “I also love clothes. I’m a very girly girl. So I think I resonate with all the girly girls that like clothes and shoes and style and fashion and things like that.”
While launching her internet career, Lexi has also made a conscious effort to balance her online persona with her private life.
“I think it’s important to log off, no pun intended,” she said. “At the end of the work day, to kind of know when it’s time to be done and time to stop thinking about certain things and just hang out with my family or my friends. And then the next day do it all over again.”
