Hurley

After baring her famous bikini body in sexy ads for Hurley, Bar Refaeli is taking it one step further and designing the perfect little black bikini for the sportswear brand. “I am obsessed with finding the perfect little black bikini,” Bar says on Hurley.com. “[I am] always searching for a timeless, sexy suit with the best fit. I have never been able to find the perfect bikini, until now.” Even better than the suit’s enduring appeal is that a portion of proceeds from the bikini sales is going to Boarding For Breast Cancer, a non-profit, youth-focused education, awareness, and fundraising foundation whose mission is to increase awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection and the value of an active lifestyle.

Andy Roddick’s bride Brooklyn Decker may have walked down the aisle this weekend in elegant Vera Wang, but when it came to her honeymoon attire, the Sports Illustrated model made sure she’d sizzle. Weeks before her nuptials, Brooklyn placed an order for six swimsuits with star-loved design label Zoe NYC — including the “Jada” style above, $220, which she had modeled in SI’s famed swimsuit issue. But Brooklyn didn’t just stick with off-the-rack designs. She’ll also hit the water in the triangle-style “Panarea” suit, customized with the word “LOVE” across the back in Swarovski crystals and the initials “B+A” — for Brooklyn + Andy, of course — across the front. Check out zoenyc.com for the full line of suits and store information.

Mariah’s honeymoon must-haves are multiple bikinis from Beach Bunny Swimwear that are “colorful and fun and sexy,” including the “Lady Lace,” $209, the “Sweet Escape,” $240, the “Beautiful Stranger,” $239 and the embroidered “Secret Garden,” $294.

If anyone knows about finding the perfect swimsuit, it’s got to be Kim Kardashian. But the reality star admits that bikini shopping is a challenge even for her — especially since she’ll only wear tie-bottoms. To make swimsuit season a little less stressful for her fans, Kim has posted her foolproof bikini guide on the official Kim Kardashian site. Among her top tips is making sure to get the correct size suit — rather than trying to squeeze into one that’s too small. And she loves the flattering cut of Ed Hardy’s new swimsuit line and bikinis by Sassi, just like the purple ruffled one she’s wearing here. Besides just getting the perfect suit, Kim recommends wearing big sunglasses, flip flops, a sarong and — of course — sunscreen! Check out all Kim’s bikini tips at officialkimkardashian.com.
