CAMERON DIAZ
“I love it,” recently said of being in her 40s. And considering that her body looks like this in a Mikoh string bikini (and she’s got a new dude), we’re not surprised she feels that way.
JESSICA SIMPSON
Carolina Herrera wedding gown got lots of people buzzing, but this Instagram selfie of her posing in a cleavage-enhancing floral one-piece got nearly 55,000 people double-tapping.
JESSICA ALBA
You already know that body looks insane in this animal-print bandeau and matching bottoms, worn on vacation in Cancun. But what you might not know is how she got her body in such insane shape. Hint: It has to do with a stripper pole.
KIM KARDASHIAN
The we hold responsible for the Instagram #belfie craze takes the phenomenon to a new level (literally) while in Punta Mita, Mexico, showing off her assets in a yellow two-piece, shot from above.
ELLE MACPHERSON
We just thought we’d take this opportunity to remind you that the woman in this photo, wearing the hell out of a zigzag blue-and-white bikini while on vacation in Sardinia, Italy, is 50. Five-zero.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN
The and her daughter both don two-pieces in the Hamptons, though Kourtney’s, a shimmery gold string design, is slightly more revealing than Penelope’s.
HILARY DUFF
Before you leave the house for the beach, put on one more accessory? Well, the maxim goes something like that. layers necklaces and a belly chain over her Marysia string top and wavy-edge bottoms to shoot a music video in Malibu.
LINDSAY LOHAN
We always feel like wearing an all-white bathing suit, let alone one with sheer panels, is asking for trouble (in the form of a wardrobe malfunction). But then again, , seen here in Ischia, Italy, isn’t one to shy away from trouble.
LEANN RIMES
In love, in stride and into prints. The and husband Eddie Cibrian opt for contrasting patterns (floral for her, broad stripes for him) while walking the beach in Hawaii.
EMMY ROSSUM
The Shameless actress uses her Instagram not only to show off her retro textured swimsuit (and matching pup), but also to educate: “Happy National Bikini Day!” she captioned the snap. “The bikini has been stringing us along since July 5th, 1946 when it was invented by Louis Reard, a Parisian fashion designer.”
LEA MICHELE
La vita certainly is dolce for , who wears a teeny green bikini (no, really, we do mean teeny) in Capri, Italy.
GISELE BÜNDCHEN
We know you’ve seen it before, but does anyone really get sick of looking at in a bikini? This time, she’s in Costa Rica in a leopard-print bandeau and a wide-brim hat (that, we’ll point out, coordinates with her dog).
LEANN RIMES
No one can blame of dressing matchy-matchily. She pairs a peach halter with printed side-tie bottoms (showing off her enviable abs in between) for a day at the beach in Malibu.
KIM KARDASHIAN
Many of street style and red carpet looks reveal almost this much skin, but just in case you haven’t seen enough, here’s a reminder of what her body looks like (in a bikini during her getaway to Punta Mita, Mexico).
GWYNETH PALTROW
Leave it to to make giving back sexy and chic. She dons a navy bikini for her ALS ice bucket challenge then gives us a rear view of the two-piece when she runs off shrieking in the video.
JAIME KING
“If you can’t stand the heat,” Jaime posted on Insta, “get into a baby pool from Target.” But we’d argue that she’s the one bringing some of the heat with her post-baby body in that smokin’ teal-and-black Triangl Swim bikini.
GABRIELLE UNION
“#irefusedtowearclothes” was one the tags the newlywed used on her honeymoon, which included stops in the Seychelles, the Maldives and the Serengeti. And when you’ve got such a great body and that cute printed two-piece, why would you?
LINDSAY LOHAN
This summer, has practically lived in bikinis, and while vacationing in Mykonos, she opts for a black crocheted one, which she wears just days after posting on Instagram, “Be happy and healthy. It’s possible.”
NINA DOBREV
Does this Basta Surf bikini (with neon accents) look familiar? That might be because it’s the one she’s wearing in her ice bucket challenge video.
ANNA FARIS
Once you’ve spent the necessary amount of time staring at her hot huzz in his bathing suit, refocus your attention on Anna, who wears a black two-piece with multicolored woven detailing and a touch of blue fringe on the bandeau while on vacation in Hawaii.
SELENA GOMEZ
“Taking my power back.. can’t wait to show you where I’ve been,” is the caption the added to her Insta snap, and while we still don’t know exactly where it is that she’s been, we do know her ruffled daffodil string bikini is adorable.
PAMELA ANDERSON
It’s not a red one-piece, but the has still got it. She shows off her curves in Cannes in a deep-V suit, accessorized with oversize sunnies.
RACHEL BILSON
The proudly displays her growing baby bump, framing it between a printed black bandeau and matching bottoms on her trip to Barbados.
KIM KARDASHIAN
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. On her second honeymoon (this one took place in Punta Mita, Mexico), stays cool by sipping a drink and donning a knotted Tara Matthews bikini.
SERENA WILLIAMS
We know that one-pieces are having a moment, but long-sleeve one-pieces?! The tennis pro makes the case for the style, showing off a high-cut leopard-print design, plus a bright-red hat, at the beach in Miami.
IGGY AZALEA
She’s so fancy, you already know. Or at least you do now, after seeing the rapper posing on a yacht with her basketball player boyfriend Nick Young in a strappy green bathing suit.
MILEY CYRUS
What do you do right after taking a shower? If you’re , you put on a TRIANGL mesh bikini (that resembles lingerie, in our opinion) and snap a selfie.
EMMA ROBERTS
“Wish you were here,” the actress captioned a shot during a vacation in Hawaii, where she soaked up rays in a white-and-olive animal-print Bikini Thief string number. Wish we were too, Emma, wish we were too.
KATE WALSH
This is what a 46-year-old in a string bikini looks like. The toned actress flaunts what she’s working with in a textured yellow suit while taking a dip in the ocean in Miami Beach.
JAIME KING
It’s hard to do anything but stand out in a Mara Hoffman bathing suit, and that’s exactly what Jaime does in her psychedelic-print, elephant-emblazoned tank one-piece in Maui.
LEA MICHELE
takes in the view on vacation in Hawaii while sporting a bright-red Mikoh two-piece and a printed Stella & Dot summer scarf.
KATHARINE MCPHEE
Normally, when we talk about the color bronze at a beach, we’re referring to someone’s tan, but in this case, it’s the Lisa Marie Fernandez zip-up bikini, which she wears in Cabo San Lucas.
KATE HUDSON
The breaks out her go-to belly chain (sign you’re a celebrity: you have a go-to belly chain), pairing it with a white halter and tie-dye shorts while in Ibiza, Spain.
COURTENEY COX
Let’s be honest: We couldn’t care less about the black two-piece, seen in Hawaii. All we want to talk about is the fact that this woman is 50 years old!
JENNIFER HUDSON
The latest star to share a bikelfie (bikini selfie – we’re working on a better name), poses in a lemon-yellow bathing suit during her Mexican vacation.
CANDICE SWANEPOEL
The supermodel’s in Rio de Janeiro so it’s only appropriate that she wear a Brazilian-cut bikini (it’s a hot-pink Minimale Animale).
VANESSA HUDGENS
She’s boho even on the beach. While vacationing in Maui, the plays up her bronze glow in a laser-cut PilyQ bikini (the bottoms are from aerie), plus more jewelry than we can list here.
KATY PERRY
Even her beach looks are retro. The poses for an Insta in a ruched lemon-yellow Seafolly top, striped high-waisted shorts, a headband and printed sunglasses.
KATE MOSS
Taupe bikinis (especially those with bandeau tops) are notoriously tricky to pull off. But if anyone’s up for the job, it’s a , who cools off in the ruched design while in Rio.
BAR REFAELI
We’ve being taking selfies all wrong this whole time! The model schools us in the art of self-portraiture with this Insta featuring her in a floral-print halter and matching bottoms.
JOURDAN DUNN
We don’t know what to make of the fact that the model’s headphones took up more space in the suitcase she packed for this Cancun trip than both her printed fringe halter and high-cut shorts.
TONI GARRN
We hope isn’t the jealous type. Because his girlfriend just posted a shot to Insta of her in a pink string bikini (uniquely tied around her midsection), surrounded by six guys in NSFW state.
ALESSANDRA AMBRéSIO
All you need in order to make the photos from your next vacation look like this are: a tiny neutral bikini, a great tan and chiseled abs (or just the right filter), an enormous piece of driftwood to stand on and a professional photographer (the model’s on a shoot).
TAYLOR SWIFT
Better from the back? We have no way of knowing since posted just one Instagram from her Easter trip to this mystery beach, but we can vouch for the fact that she looks damn good in her light-colored, two-piece from this angle.
ALICIA KEYS
If your vacation albums don’t include a shot of you dramatically standing by the water at night in a printed one-piece and a pair of stilettos, you’re living a very different life than (seen here in St. Barts).
ELLIE GOULDING
White and sheer are two words we’re not all that comfortable with when it comes to swimwear. But the singer is a bolder woman than we are since she wears a bandeau in the shade with matching bottoms that feature see-through panels at the hips while vacationing in Miami.
JESSICA SZOHR
Hey, we’re as surprised as you are to see a hot young actress in such a basic black mom suit. But we can’t deny that looks good in the strapless design with its twisted sweetheart neckline at the beach in L.A.
KATE HUDSON
The navy two-piece may be simple, but she turns her day at the beach in Malibu into a fashion moment thanks to a gold belly chain, not to mention two pendants, white sunnies and a bright-purple hair tie.
VANESSA HUDGENS
Is it just us, or is the wearing more jewelry than actual bikini? She glams up her leopard-print two-piece with a body chain, belly ring and layers of necklaces while celebrating bachelorette party in Miami.
ALESSANDRA AMBRéSIO
“#foreveronvacation” was the hashtag the model threw on this Insta shot, but based on how she looks in her tie-dye Vix bikini (while on vacation in Greece with equally fit friends), we’re thinking it’s more like #foreverworkingout.
ASHLEY TISDALE
The bride-to-be must have told everyone to pack their leopard-print bikinis for her bachelorette party because she wears the pattern, too. (It’s only fitting that Ashley opts for a white version to prepare for her upcoming nuptials.)
BELLA THORNE
If you want to stand out among a sea of standard white two-pieces, we recommend finding one with multicolor tassels (like the Lolli bikini on the actress in Miami) and adding a pair of matching cat-eyes.
AVRIL LAVIGNE
How do we relax after a long week at work? In sweats on the couch. How does relax after a long few weeks of work (she was on tour in South America)? In a tiny gold bikini in a cabana by the ocean, natch.
MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ
When we think about stars at Cannes, over-the-top gowns come to mind, but the actress spends some time in the South of France slightly less covered up. She sports a black bikini with gold hardware at the hips and straps, which coordinates with her jewelry.
JESSICA SIMPSON
Even in such a bold bathing suit (the Mara Hoffman “Cosmic Fountain with a geo print and side cutouts), what we keep looking at are insanely toned legs.
NAYA RIVERA
This is one of many recent bikini photos the Celeb Style Council member has posted to Instagram during her Cabo San Lucas trip, and shockingly, it’s one of the most SFW. She posed (stretched?) in a black-and-white floral-print Zinke thong and captioned the pic, “Those arches!” (You’re talking about the scenery, right, Naya?)
CHARLIZE THERON
We’ve always been a fan of mixing and matching tops and bottoms, and is apparently anti-matchy-matchy too. She teams a multicolor striped halter with basic black bottoms.
EMMY ROSSUM
We’d kill for the actress’s body, but luckily, getting our hands on her floral-print top and bottoms won’t come to that. (We tracked down the Shoshanna pieces here.)
BEYONCé
Oh, don’t mind us. We’re just over here ordering cutout Kore Swimwear bathing suit, pulling up “Drunk in Love” on Spotify and posing for photos, pretending we have an ultra-popular Tumblr where we’ll post all of them.
KIM & KYLIE
You know a bathing suit is hot when it prompts these two things: stealing ( swiped the Lolli bikini from Jenner) and bathroom selfies.
MARIA SHARAPOVA
In a textured black two-piece with a structured bra top, the tennis player tries out a new sport: splashing around in the water in Cancun.
HEIDI KLUM
Same wide-brim hat, slightly different black bikini. While lounging by the pool in the Bahamas, flaunts her stuff in a string bikini featuring sparkly gold accents.
GISELE BÜNDCHEN
Ugh, we feel so, so bad for this woman. Not only is she married to some totally unattractive and untalented no-name, but just look at her body. Must be terrible to have to walk around, showing it to the world in that tiny animal-print number while on holiday in Costa Rica.
CAMERON DIAZ
Does anyone have any clothes that need cleaning? Because we spot some washboard abs in the Caribbean (visible between fuchsia knotted bandeau and bikini bottoms, both Mikoh).
CHARLIZE THERON
Black one-pieces don’t traditionally get tongues wagging, but changes that with a unique one-shoulder bathing suit that features a sexy lace-up design on one side. Let’s just hope she slathered on the SPF while riding the waves in Miami.
SOFIA VERGARA
Modern Family character isn’t the only TV personality who loves this she wears while filming in Australia; Shoshanna Shapiro (Zosia Mamet on Girls) owns it, too.
KENDALL JENNER
Not that her modeling portfolio needs much help, but if we were Kendall, we’d definitely add this pic of the white top and blue string bottoms in Malibu to the mix.
HEIDI KLUM
We’d just like to note that wide-brim hat offers significantly more coverage than that other thing she’s wearing in the Bahamas: a strapless bikini.
CANDICE SWANEPOEL
One look at Candice in this Kelly-green rippled-edge halter and tie bottoms in Miami and it’s easy to understand why she’s one of the highest-paid, most in-demand supermodels in the world.
RIHANNA
From now on we’ll be refusing to wear any swimsuit that doesn’t coordinate with our drink. And if that drink is champagne and that swimsuit is gold, like the one on the in Rio, then so be it.
LEANN RIMES
Just because you can wear a string bikini doesn’t mean you have to wear one. proves our point with a fun animal print Valimare bandeau and matching bottoms in Honolulu.
ALESSANDRA AMBRéSIO
Wait, did we accidentally click over to the Love Her Hair gallery? Because, despite the model’s colorful horizontal-striped bra top and turquoise bottoms, our focus is completely on those beachy waves she has while on a shoot in Miami.
JENNIFER ANISTON
If this isn’t the perfect beach vacation look, we don’t know what it is. sticks to her classic black attire in the form of a triangle-top string bikini, plus a pale-blue sarong in Mexico.
KRISTEN BELL
From baby to bikini in under a year. Not bad, . The mom layers a colorful sheer fringed dress over her lemon-yellow two-piece (both L*Space), adding practical accessories like a fedora and Birkenstocks while in Hawaii.
KHLOé KARDASHIAN
Not to be outdone by her pose-happy sister on the Thailand trip, mugged for the camera, repping the East Coast in a Stampd one-piece with a silhouette straight out of a ’90s aerobics video, plus a captain’s hat.
LISA RINNA
Whatever you think of the actress’s bathing suit, you have to admit it’s an impressive feat to be able to show off one’s belly button in a one-piece. She takes the plunge in a black halter with metallic piping and buckles while at the Villa del Palmar resort in Cancun.
OLIVIA PALERMO
You know how some brides-to-be go on juice cleanses? Yeah, Olivia doesn’t need to even consider that, as proven by this shot of her in a preppy blue-and-white striped bandeau and matching bottoms.
BETHENNY FRANKEL
Jury’s still out on the body chain, but we’re decidedly into Bethenny’s black-and-white mixed-print string bikini with wooden bead accents, topped off with a wide-brim hat.
RIHANNA
Getting beach attire might actually be harder than getting her beach body. The Swarovski-encrusted bikini is Charlie by Matthew Zink and it costs nearly $1,000. (If you want one, better get clicking since the designer claims he’ll be creating just 10 of them.)
KATIE HOLMES
We already knew she looks good in a bikini, but drives the point home in a printed Missoni top, paired with denim cutoffs.
KYLIE JENNER
While Kendall flashed her brights, the younger Jenner sister decided to go (slightly) more covered up, posting an Insta photo in a sexy string bikini with the caption, “So.. Is it summer yet?..” 693,000 double-tappers seemed to wish it were too.
