I'm sure I'm not the only one

 

Recently, for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit spectacle, TikTok influencer Alix Earle posed with some white things.  See below.












So, this reminded me of something, and as the title of the post says, I can't be the only one that was reminded thusly. 

I.e., let's compare to Botticelli's The Birth of Venus:

















The similarities are apparent, particularly the hand placement and hip details. So while I haven't looked to see if anyone mentioned this congruency, I think it was intended.

By the way, when I was working on this post, I found a better Birth of Venus painting than Botticelli's. See if you agree.
