RIHANNA
gets wet ‘n’ wild in her leopard-print JungleGurl “Mikaela” bikini (available for $100 ) – just one of the many stylish suits she sported on her glam Italian getaway.
KATRINA BOWDEN
If you thought pink-and-purple bathing suits were too girlie to be sexy, behold: the 30 Rock actress’s Victoria’s Secret bikini, worn in N.Y.C. The halter top with a twist at the bust, the metallic rings at the hip and the abstract stripes keep the two-piece from feeling like it belongs in the kiddie pool.
ASHLEY TISDALE
A neon fringed bikini may sound like a relic from the 80s, but makes it look surprisingly cool, pairing her L*Space suit with layered necklaces and distressed cut-offs.
KATY PERRY
Proving that this trend is still to-“dye”-for, the hits the beach in an off-duty ensemble that’s decidedly less wacky than her typical work wear.
JESSICA ALBA
We don’t know what’s cuter: perfect-for-the-pool braids or her interchangeable bow-bedecked $225 .
NICKY HILTON
No sweet bows or adorable ruffles for this stylish socialite. Nicky makes bronzing look badass by catching rays in her skull-print bandeau and side-tie bottoms.
MARIA MENOUNOS
We may not be willing to do however many sit-ups are required to get washboard abs like the TV host, but we will certainly snap up that cute watercolor bikini (worn with classic shades and her favorite bracelets).
BELLA THORNE
The great thing about a retro suit like the Disney star’s is that it works for a variety of body types: it’s flattering on petite figures and would cover a tummy or support a fuller chest as well.
JULIANNE HOUGH
Last month she revealed a summery new hairstyle and now is revealing a summer-ready bod in a simple striped coral bikini we can’t wait to try.
ELLE MACPHERSON
While it’s true that any bikini looks amazing on someone whose nickname is “The Body,” a black string two-piece also flatters curvy figures (you can adjust the side ties). Still not buying it? Go for the supermodel’s one-size-fits-all necklaces and straw hat instead.
RIHANNA
Get more wear out of your suits by mixing the top from one set with the bottom from another. We love that the combines two of our favorite prints, chevron (especially flattering on smaller busts) and polka-dots.
WHITNEY PORT
Bring the tropical foliage from your surroundings to your suit, but skip the predictable flowers and palm trees, opting instead for a cheeky fruit motif. We love whimsical lemons-and-bananas bikini – and you know no one else on the beach will have one just like it.
ALESSANDRA AMBRéSIO
Copy this ensemble piece-for-piece and we guarantee you’ll be the center of attention at the beach. The supermodel teams a bright, abstract bikini with high-waist white denim, oversize opaque shades and a Jacquie Aiche horn necklace.
TAYLOR SWIFT
The vintage-influenced, modest style doesn’t stop once she leaves the red carpet and hits the boardwalk. Her polka-dot, skirted and beribboned one-piece (not to mention that red head wrap and mustard cardigan) could have walked right out of the 1940s.
DOUTZEN KROES
Sadly, there’s no shortcut to get the Victoria’s Secret Angel’s rock-hard abs and killer legs, but as a consolation prize, we found a look-alike suit that’s just as on-trend and cute as her ruffled and twisted coral number.
JESSICA ALBA
Give us that bikini, that body, that vacation ( in Italy) and that wine and we’d never complain again! Fine, we’ll settle for just the bikini, an orange halter, since it’s so cute and flattering.
MILEY CYRUS
Here comes the bride-to-be, all dressed in white. shows off her gluten-free figure in a Giejo and while poolside in Miami.
EVA LONGORIA
For adventure-seeking beachgoers like paddleboarder , a string bikini just won’t do. Surprisingly her wetsuit top, full-coverage bottoms and messy pony have just as much sex appeal as a leave-nothing-to-the-imagination suit, though.
BLAKE LIVELY
A retro tank suit, with polka dots and a bold white halter, is a fun and unexpected way for to showcase her hot beach bod. Now, back to staring at her hot beach
GABRIELLE UNION
A ruffled triangle halter like Gabrielle’s, worn while hanging out in Miami, shows off toned arms and boosts a smaller bust. Sexy shades, the actress’s must-have cowboy hat and a patterned skirt are cute touches that also offer protection from the sun.
MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ
Nude beaches: not for everyone. Nude bikinis: much more universally appealing! The actress’s two-piece with bold black contrast piping is unique and looks great poolside (she’s in Cap D’Antibes, France) – and unlike a teeny tie-on, the solid straps aren’t going to budge when she jumps off that diving board.
DAISY FUENTES
Q: When does a one-piece have the same jaw-dropping impact as a barely-there bikini? A: When the bathing suit is a strappy monokini à la Daisy’s black number, which she wears in Miami Beach. It’s the perfect way to show off cleavage and toned sides, but disguise pesky belly pooch.
NAYA RIVERA
The Glee actress keeps it classic in a black bikini while in Hawaii. While the top has a string tie, the bottom is full coverage, meaning you won’t need to worry about accidentally flashing too much cheek.
GERI HALLIWELL
Ruffles on a bathing suit: not just for toddlers and grandmas anymore, as Geri Halliwell proves while on vacation in Bermuda. Her sweet floral bikini is equal parts adorable and eye-popping, and the structured top proves it’s possible to give support without going dowdy.
ASHLEY OLSEN
While she tends to cover up with swaths of fabric and fur, deviates from her norm and reveals a toned bod (and beautiful smile!) while frolicking in the Hawaiian waves. And natch, she lends her personal style to the bikini, mixing a zigzag top and solid black bottoms.
ELIN NORDEGREN
is on par with some of Hollywood’s most fashionable, showing off her killer figure in a blue side-tie bikini, plus an on-trend fedora, in the Bahamas.

She wears many hats – and not just figuratively! The supermodel mom totes two fedoras in Bora Bora, where she looks Victoria’s Secret catalog-ready in a white triangle top, cutoffs and a printed kimono top.
BEYONCé
With flirty accents like a bustier top and hip-skimming skirt, the slimming black one-piece is fit to flatter, yet still feminine and fun.

AUDRINA PATRIDGE
A lot has changed since The Hills, but one thing remains the same: Audrina’s rockin’ bikini body. The puts her abs on display in Luli Fama’s two-piece.
RIHANNA
Fake a fuller bustline with fun accents, like ruffles, embroidery or fringe (as seen on the . And feel free to go wild with a busy print – it will come off as cute and classy in a way that’s harder to do for someone with a larger chest.
KIM KARDASHIAN
If you have killer curves, a string bikini isn’t out of the question – you just have to wear one with enough support, as does. She smartly selects a tangerine-hued suit that features plenty of coverage and thicker “strings” that offer straplike support.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN
Whether you’re pregnant or just want to cover your middle, you can imbue a simple black one-piece with plenty of sex appeal via a back-baring halter style by L*Space with a plunging V-neck silhouette à la the expectant .
DEMI LOVATO
A strapless style can be universally flattering, and looks especially sexy on chicks with curves. Fit is key, though: Nab a style that offers support and silicone bands to protect against slippage. Also consider a rich chocolate hue (like Demi’s) instead of basic black: It’s unexpected, looks good on all skin tones and is still neutral enough to go with any coverup.
NAOMI WATTS
Just like chocolate, teal is a magical color: It works with skin tones ranging from pale to dark and enhances even a slight tan. Naomi’s tank-style one-piece is a nice choice for ladies who don’t want to bare their bellies – plus, you can throw on a skirt and take the look from beach to drinks!
DENISE RICHARDS
Bustier gals like Denise are able to sport a basic bandeau without worrying about minimizing their assets (plus, it keeps your girls in check so you can run around the beach, surf or paddleboard comfortably).
BEYONCé
Proving that print-mixing works for all occasions, the shows off her hourglass figure in a string- bikini top and matching bottoms by Luli Fama (perfect for hippy girls since the ties are adjustable).
CHLOE SEVIGNY
Triangle tops can be tricky to wear all day, though adjustable straps (such as the ones on Chloe’s bikini) at the neck and back do help ensure a snug fit. Adjustable bottoms also help to create a smooth silhouette no matter how much bum you’re working with.
ANNALYNNE MCCORD
This Hollywood beach babe is “shorely” chic, highlighting a colorful two-piece by Bettinis with a chambray button-down, which provides protection from windy days and cool nights on the sand.
