How to Choose the Perfect WBFF / FMG Competition Bikini

Written By Samba Couture

Choosing the right competition bikini is one of the most exciting and important steps in preparing for your WBFF or FMG show. Your bikini isn’t just an outfit — it’s your armour, your spotlight, and your story. Every curve, connector, and crystal matters when you step in front of the judges.

At SambaCouture, we’ve dressed athletes from around the world, helping them elevate their stage presence through designs that empower and mesmerise. Here’s what to consider when selecting the perfect competition bikini for your big moment:

1. Select a Shape That Complements Your Physique

WBFF and FMG have their own style — glamorous, feminine, and show-stopping. When choosing your cut, think about:

  • The shape of your glutes (and if you’ll benefit from a V-style or Pro cut)

  • How much coverage accentuates your shape without hiding your hard work

  • Bra cup styles that enhance your symmetry and balance your upper body

The right cut enhances your physique and creates harmony from every angle.

2. Choose Colours That Ignite Confidence

Your colour should amplify your presence. Deep jewel tones, electric brights, or metallics — each shade tells a different story. Consider:

  • Which colours complement your skin tone

  • Stage lighting — richer colours often pop best

  • Your overall theme and personality

If you walk out feeling like a queen, the judges will see it instantly.

3. Crystal Layout: Shine Where It Counts

Crystals catch the light and guide the judges’ eyes to your strongest features. You can choose:

  • Full crystal coverage for maximum sparkle

  • Gradient and ombré layouts for movement and dimension

  • Strategic placement to highlight your waist, shoulders, or glutes

Every shimmer is intentional — that’s what turns a bikini into a masterpiece.

4. The Power of Theme

Especially with WBFF and FMG, storytelling matters. Your bikini should express:

  • Who you are on stage — angelic, exotic, fierce, powerful?

  • A concept inspired by nature, fantasy, or fashion

  • A look that feels uniquely you

At SambaCouture, we love combining Brazilian carnival artistry with modern couture — creating designs that are bold, original, and unforgettable.

5. Fit Is Everything

Even 5mm can change your overall shape. A couture bikini should:

  • Sit precisely on your frame

  • Enhance your posture

  • Support your movement so you feel free and confident

That’s why custom tailoring is essential — your body has earned perfection.

6. Work With Designers Who Understand the Stage

Look for a designer who:

  • Knows the judging criteria

  • Understands stage lighting + camera presence

  • Has experience working with athletes at high-level shows

A bikini isn’t just beautiful — it must perform.
