Talk about making a splash.

Aoki Lee Simmons was spotted enjoying a PDA-packed beach day in St. Barts with 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf on Tuesday, and looked as stylish as ever while on the shore.

The Harvard graduate, 21, enjoyed the surf and sun in a zigzag-patterned Missoni bikini — one of several she packed for the getaway, judging by her recent Instagram posts — and accessorized with the appropriately tropical Cult Gaia Gaia’s Ark bag ($118).

The crescent-shaped, budget-friendly bamboo carryall became an Instagram sensation in the mid-2010s, spawning knockoffs aplenty.

It’s still carried as part of the LA-based label’s permanent collection in several colors and sizes.

In addition to Aoki, the viral style’s been spotted in the hands of stars including Chrissy Teigen, Emma Stone, Olivia Culpo, Jessica Alba, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Olivia Munn — to say nothing of the thousands of influencers who’ve snapped photos with their Arks.

As the youngest daughter of model-turned-designer Kimora Lee Simmons and Def Jam Recordings co-founder Russell Simmons, Aoki was practically destined for style-star status.

She’s modeled for her mom’s Baby Phat brand and, in 2021, made her runway debut for Pyer Moss during the Paris Couture Fashion Week.

She’s also posed for labels like Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors, and covered magazines including Teen Vogue and Flaunt.

“I would like to change the idea that you can’t be smart and pretty, or you can’t be smart and enjoy your looks or enjoy a creative, beauty- [and] fashion-based career,” Aoki shared in a 2022 TikTok, hitting back at those who criticized her choice to pursue modeling given her Ivy League education.

“You can be two kinds of people in one person.”
