Now speaking directly to those of you who were adults the first time low rise jeans were a thing, according to Urban Dictionary, a thirst trap is a “sexy photograph or flirty message posted on social media.” Some definitions argue that thirst traps are inherently attention-seeking, referring to a user's “thirst" as a colloquialism likening sexual frustration to dehydration. Or simply that the goal is to motivate likes and slides in the DM. To those people we say, ummm… yeah, and what about it?
Despite misconceptions, there’s nothing nonchalant about setting up a thirst trap, well unless you’re Megan Thee Stallion or Kylie Jenner, both of whom know there’s an art to creating a viral, jaw-droping moment. Much thought goes into every take - the pose, the background, the wardrobe (or lack there of), the caption - everything must come together perfectly to entice what we’re ultimately all after - Thirst! Oh, and likes of course, duh.
While celebs don’t need or reserve any particular day of the week to share their thirst inducing pics with the masses, there’s something nice about devoting this particular day of the week to show off your assets (insert winky face emoji).
But since IG’s algorithm doesn’t even care what day it is when you see a pic on your feed, we’ll settle with simply using the day to present you with a collection, of what in our expert opinion are some of this weeks top tier thirst traps. In no particular order - the traps have been set below.
Billie Eilish
She knows, you know, we all know. Billie straight up slayed this casual corset look. Trapping us not once, not twice, but thrice… and on a Monday no less.
Saweetie
Umm, hold the phone… who is the “he” she’s referring to in her caption? Actually you know what, who cares. This Saweetie thirst trap is all we should be concerned with.
Khloe Kardashian
Oh you know, just Khloe Kardashian getting literal with the thirst trap she posted over the weekend. And before you ask, yes, this is the same pic where Tristan Thompson savagely came for Lamar Odom in the comments section. Can you blame him? Look at her! Also for more traps from Khlo Money peep her IG, the Good American neon swim collection just dropped and the pics are fire.
Chloe Bailey
Yup, everything checks, Chloe Bailey continues coming correct with a steady dose of sultry content. Proving that while her sister might be living “Under the Sea,” she’s the one that has us all thirsty.
Doja Cat
If you’re not channeling Doja Cat’s pool drip energy, we’re not interested. That is all, kthanksbye.
