As the temperatures drop in New York, Gayle King is embracing swimwear in Mexico.

The CBS News reporter posted to her Instagram on Tuesday showing off a few pool-ready looks. She posed with her niece, Mekenzye in a few bathing suits while the two celebrated Thanksgiving in the Rosewood Mayakoba resort.

She captioned her post, “Back by POPULAR demand! My annual Thanksgiving photo shoot with fav niece @mknzschwb! Note to self next time wear a friggin sarong .. Mekenzye still gorgeous .. time to play who wore it best (Hah) no photo shopping allowed ! swipe left last pix surprise guest on set ..shout out to @rwmayakoba for all things magical!”

King styled a few pieces in her post. The first was a red one-piece bathing suit with cap sleeves covered in a hot pink and white floral print. She also wore a yellow one-piece in a fun tropical print and a white bathing suit in another photo.

Though she opted for a beach-friendly no-shoes look for this post, when it comes to her footwear style, King often sports pointed-toe stilettos and strappy ankle climbing sandals for her red carpet and on-camera appearances. On her off days, King wears a myriad of diverse sporty and athleisure-esque sneakers, clogs, or comfortable flats from brands like Chloé and Crocs.

The journalist is a lover of bold hues and whimsical patterns, as seen in this post. She can usually be found in mid-length dresses of all shades, silhouettes and styles. However, King has been known to favor the occasional patterned sundress. Last month, she appeared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in a fitted yellow dress consisting of an asymmetrical neckline with a one-shoulder detail, complete with a cascading ruffled accent. She paired the dress with matching golden mules.
