As fans may remember, during an iconic episode from the series that ran for six seasons from 2015 to 2020, Moira declared: “Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, ‘Oh, I’m too spooky.’ Or, ‘Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies.’ But believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, ‘Dear God, I was a beautiful thing.’ “
Banks indeed took a page out of Moira’s playbook by sharing various images of herself in colorful bikinis with the caption, “You’re not too spooky 📸.”

To conclude the fun set, Banks showcased herself wearing a multicolored, geometric print bikini with a matching beach cover-up.
