Celebs in Bikinis

AnnaLynne McCord’s

AnnaLynne McCord’s Bettinis watercolor bikini might result in some funky tan lines later on, but on the beach, the asymmetrical cut keeps the focus on her toned abs and defined obliques. Take a cue from the star and experiment with different styles to figure out which highlight your best features, and which can help cover up your problem areas. For a seriously fashion-forward look, add a piece of statement jewelry, like AnnaLynne’s beaded necklace.

Ashley Greene

When she’s not fighting enemy vamps or feisty werewolves , Twilight star Ashley cools off in a baby blue halter bikini that flatters her toned physique. One big advantage of a suit in this style? The straps can be removed from around your neck and tucked into the top to prevent pesky tan lines!

Ashley Tisdale

The beach is a great place to experiment with fun patterns and accessories that you might not normally dare to wear. Ashley Tisdale complements her colorful geometric suit with a retro pair of blue shades. Ashley’s look is almost as hot as her beach bud, Zac Efron!

Candice Accola and Nina Dobrev

Real-life besties Nina and Candice of The Vampire Diaries like to hit the sand and surf on their days off. Thanks to hours of battling scary “originals,” they’re also in awesome shape for their bikinis!

Jennifer Lopez

It might not have any polka dots, but this itsy bitsy yellow bikini is still a hot choice for a hot day! Bright colors show off a summer glow and a cute, fringe detail sets your suit apart from all the other bandeaus at the pool party!

Rachel Bilson

The most stylish way to hit the beach is with confidence, like Rachel Bilson! Find what style works best for your body, and choose a fit and color that you feel comfortable in. A flattering suit will leave you feeling self assured — which can only make you look hotter!

Selena Gomez

Neon is definitely a hot color trend this summer, but don’t let that stop you from rocking pretty jewel tones! This magenta suit looks amazing with Selena’s beachy, brunette hair, and the ruched bottom adds a little more coverage than the average string bikini.
