Actress Ana de Armas recently shared a series of photos on Instagram showcasing her enjoying the start of summer by a pool with friends and her dogs. The images featured de Armas in a patterned string bikini, accessorized with bracelets, as she spent time poolside.

One of the posts showed de Armas with her legs in the water, cuddling one of her dogs. Other pictures captured moments of her with friends, including playing a board game, sitting by the pool, laughing, and gently dipping her dog into the water. In some additional photos, de Armas was seen in red micro shorts and a matching red bralette.

De Armas began her acting career in Cuban and Spanish cinema before moving to Hollywood in 2014. She had minor roles in several films before gaining wider recognition for her role in the 2017 movie "Blade Runner 2049." Her performance in the 2019 film "Knives Out" earned her a Golden Globe nomination and led to a leading role in "Blonde," where she portrayed Marilyn Monroe, a role that garnered her an Academy Award nomination.

During the production of "Blonde," de Armas faced some criticism regarding her accent when portraying Monroe. However, Brad Pitt, whose production company produced the film, defended her performance, calling her "phenomenal" in the movie.
