However some people were upset with comments ranging from 'can't believe Zayn and Perrie broke up,' 'Don't be mad at perrie we all know what it feels like to lose zayn :(', and 'Why everyone is happy because zayn and perrie broke up? I wish for you to break up with your boyfriend and your future husband'

And there was some sympathy, with tweets including, 'I love Zayn obviously but Perrie can and will find someone better for her,' 'Perrie, thank you for loving Zayn especially in those hard times. We know that you are a big reason why he stood up for himself. Thank you x' and 'I just pray that perrie is okay and that zayn is okay because they're the only two people who's opinion is honestly valid on this situation'.

Back in March, Zayn publicly apologised when he was pictured with his arm around Lauren Richardson during a wild night out in Thailand, saying 'sorry for how it looks' and tweeted about his love for Perrie.

Pick up a paisley printed bikini like Perrie

It's been a hell of a year for this Little Mix star with a lot of ups and downs. After her fiancé quit One Direction, the fans looked wrongly to Perrie for someone to blame. She of course faced issues when Zayn was papped with a girl on tour and now she's celebrating her band's number one single, yet to be moved from the top spot for three weeks! Her emotions must be all over the place.

It seems to us that perrie more than anyone deserves a huge break and that's exactly what she's doing here with the girls in Los Angeles. We applaud you Perrie Edwards.

And of course she wasn't going to sunbathe without looking her best either, her nails perfectly manicured, her hair looking beachy and her bikini highlighting her curves, not to mention her slick shades.

We were loving the paisley print bikini with its seriously fun tassel details and we were surprised to learn this pick was from H&M. Sadly, the cute little number is now sold out, but they do have a similar option up for grabs (right) so click through to check it out.

Otherwise, there are plenty of alternative paisley numbers up for grabs below, so simply take your pick.
