FASHION PICKS: CELEB SWIM GUIDE

Well its officially summertime, and as hot as it’s been getting – we all will have to hit the pool at least once this season. Well the fun part is picking out a great swim suit and we have lots of choices for our different body and style types. Here I composed a list of great swim suits you can find online inspired by some a select few celebs:

swim1.gif

Starting off we have the gold lame J. Crew bikini ($102) inspired by Beyonce. Bee is always one to step out in style even on the beach and show off her curves. She also loves to accessorize with her swimwear so as a bonus, I chose this cute Vix St. Barb cover up ($156) to cool you off, but still keep you ladies trendy…

For you slender types like Gabrielle Union, the Zimmermann Avalon bandeau bikini ($180) would be perfect to show off your shapes and the green shade would look wonderful next to Gabby’s skin tone…

swim2.gif

This Elizabeth hurley Shiny One piece is perfect for all you good girls gone bad, like Rihanna. Pick up some cool aviator shades and you’ve turned yourself into a biker beach babe in no time…

swim4.gif

For the more shapely ladies like Jennifer Hudson, these St. Lucia bandeau bikini one piece ($89) would do wonders for your body. You can look stylish in it all while gaining support from the suit for your waist and tummy…

swim3.gif

For the more ladies with a bit more of an eccentric taste like Zoe Kravitz, you can do something different yet retro with this VOOM Striped Bikini ($108)…

swim9.gif

For the guy with a bit of a stronger taste in fashion like Kanye West, these hip Volcom Patterned Board Shorts ($50) might suit your needs for the pool…

swim6.gif

If you’re a bit more laid back like Jay-Z, get his infamous yacht style with these Hugo Boss Sporty Board shorts ($69), which are simple enough for the businessman himself…

swim7.gif

Go all white with these Outrigger Water Shorts ($19), reminiscent of Diddy. For the traveling world thinkers, these may suit you for the beach…

swim5.gif

Get nerdy like Pharrell Williams in these plaid Canterbury of New Zealand Check Swim Trunks ($51). They may have to do until skateboard P releases a line under his BBC clothing label…

    That Zoe-style Retro bikini is the HOTNESS!! I can do without the Trashbag-influenced Rihanna wet suit, though

  2. honeykisses91

    i love the rihanna and beyonce style suit i might get them…that is if i was hitting the beach any this summer

  3. hollywood here i come...

    *crickets*

  4. pretty_charlie

    nice post.

    Gabby has such a beautiful skin tone. Can’t wait until my tan kicks in full force.

  5. Crazy Beyonce Stan from the 500 post!

    I think I can hit up Target or Wolly-World and call it a day! I don’t need all that inspired stuff to take a dip at the pool. The green one, aint got no support, who suppose to wear dat?! Not I said the cat.

  6. Nothing But Love

    I like Rih Rih and Beyonce’s style ….

  7. KSH

    Good job Tianna! I like all the suit except that mess of flower that is JHud’s style pick. Thick women have better options than that…I hope.

  8. mia

    The Swimwear Was On Point For Each Celeb And Their Personality. I Pick Ri Swimsuit But In Gold, Olive Green, Yellow Or Burnt Orange Minus The Shiny Wet Look. Its A Shame What They Try To Put Girls Like J Hud In Though They Added 3x The Material For Hers.

  9. KyKy

    That stuff is hot!!!! I like the Beyonce & Gabby one. Too Cute!!!!!

  10. vanity6

    that vroom bikini is too cute. they’re doing a lot sexy wise and retro wise w/one pieces but a sista got to maximize the tan hence the string bikinies :)

  11. Dame(From Marcy to Madison Square Go Jay!!!!!!)

    I like Bee and Rihanna swim suit love Jay, Diddy and Pharrell as well

  12. TYMME

    Rihannas style is kinda slutty..I love Gabrielle, Jhud and Beyonces suits for the curvy girls!

  13. TYMME

    All the mens shorts are sexy except for Kanyes..

  14. *BAYAREA YAYAREA*

    Beyonce has the best swim suit look and pharrell is so sexy.I want to lick the ice cream.LOL.Rihanna’s swim suit looks ok but not for me.

  15. SweetThang729

    Okay why would anyone want a coverup Beyonce wore years ago…most of the fits are from years ago…why not go to a site that’s has a new summerline of suits and spread the word about that…b/c these are old and tired…

  16. I like Zoe, Jennifer and Rhianna’s swim suit.

    For the men, I like Jay and Diddy’s trunks. They are sweet and simple.

    Hi DAME!

  17. kay-oh

    Old Navy has a hot gold suit right now that’s the color of the two-piece in the Beyonce inspired section, but it’s the style of the Rhiana one-piece. It’s a little more affordable for most people’s budgets.

  18. Original Truth (I don't care if ya get mad)

    The voom bikini is too cute!!

    The j. crew is cute also I think it would look nicer on someone Gabby’s complexion..

    I like Jay’s also….

    The black one is good for sitting around a pool…lol..

  19. Jhae Lamarre

    I absolutely LOVE the shiny black one piece! DEFINITELY gonna cop that for the summer! B’s looks good two…just may get both. Thanks for the links ;)

  20. emane

    I like the beyonce and rihanna one
    also like jay, diddy and p

  21. STLCHICK

    Zoe’s suit is hella cute! My fav is Rihanna’s though.

  22. bassackwards

    I must have Zoe’s and Ri Ri’s style, love them!

  23. ladyr0c

    I don’t know about Jay’ outfit but I don’t think I already saw Kanye on the beach ! do u ?

  24. Uncrowned Queen

    I love the Kanye-inspired swimming shorts…I can see him wearing those,lol. I love that shear dress with the bikini from Beyonce, I like that look a lot. I wouldn’t mind trying that look!

  25. I can’t see myself paying that much for a bathing suit that I’ll only wear a handful of times.

    I don’t go swimming like talking about…too much maintainance in the hair.

    The suits are cute though.

  26. TERRELL

    I dig the Pharrell and the Kanye trunks!!!

  27. yea whatever

    what about pregnant chics like me????

  28. lexa

    the gabrielle swimsuit & the beyonce one are nice . but instead of putting just the over $100 swimsuits or other items on your page maybe you could include a similar design that is more affordable so that the average reader of your site can wear the latest celeb inspired fashions too .. just a thought …

  29. PROVOST...

    I got a pool party to go to later this month, and I REALLY think I’m bout to say “fuck it!” and rock the Speedo on all they ass, lmao!

  30. Lily

    I love Bee’s style. I would definitely cop hers.

  31. superduper50000000

    Hey CL,

    the VOOM Striped Bikini ($108)…was NOT on the intuition online — is it at the store??

  32. kmniles

    Dammit! I thought I was gonna see Bee in a bikini. She looks sophisticated hot.

    Why is Diddy’s the only one with an elastic waistband?

    And Rihanna’s dominatrix/tomb raider bikini looks like it needs a whip or a pistol as an accessory.

  33. let's not lie

    i think a swimsuit for $100 IS affordable. i like the gabby, riri, and zoe ones. i love to buy swimsuits even though i have yet to go to the beach lol. gotta do that sometime soon, i need to get a tan and look like gabby. her skin is gorgeous

  34. vanity6

    that’s true #35, swim wear is expensive unless you go to H&M, the birth place of two of mines :) bikinies are really cheap durning the winter at victoriasecret.com too.

  35. Rake

    you matched the suits up perfectly to the people…it’s almost like that funny commercial where the people look like the suits! lol Rihanna’s pic is great! unfortunately, I’ve never been one to obsess over swimwear…I don’t care about it, frankly.

  36. Rake

    For those of you who are complaining about the price, go to your local mall and find a department store…they’ll have TONS of options because “others” love swimsuits the way we love sneakers. lol

  37. hood_shit

    wow! Tianna even gave love to the dudes… now that’s a post!

  38. brownsugar

    @ #7 What you say! I agree! Also, I would like to add the Rihanna inspired suit, you have to be extra cautious with that one as well… It could only work out if you are in a training bra, A, A 1.5 and a B bra size! C cups and on up, double sided tape can’t hold up but for so long with the summer elements and sweating! Danger Zone!

  39. V

    LOL all the styles realy do reflect them

  40. Toreanu

    This summertime bikini guide is hot, especially Rihanna’s. Mariah Carey’s looks bangin too. check her out, wit her fine a**. Nick betta hold on http://urbanthoughtcollective.com/gallery/summer/

  41. mia

    I Like B Swimwear Too, I Too Love To Accessorize With Swimwear Its A Good Look I M O.

  42. LuuuuuuVVv!! Zoe’s hers is soo cute, ill rock the hell out of that swimsuit.
    Like the one piece for Ri-Ri but probably not in black mybe some other really dark color.

  43. kay

    TIANNA, You are too funny, those shorts look just like Puff, damn.

  44. TheMrs.

    For myself… Bey and Rhi’s style.

    Husband…..Diddy and Jay’s style.

    Want to keep it young, sexy and fresh, even on the beach.

  45. SLIM.GOODZ

  47. E-roc23

    I Want Kanye West T-Shirt that’s in this pic!! Where can i get it from?

  48. Carrie

    One of my friends met at POZGROUP.COM, a community constructed exclusively to help people afflicted with STDs find partners for love and happiness, said Rihanna’s style is the most sexy one, but I don’t think so. I prefer Beyonce’s style.

  49. bossy20

    I like the Jay Z style and the Diddy style

  50. the one is back

    Tianna- U really captured their style, I couldnt help but say maybe you should become their stylist.

  51. Kellz

    That J. Hud bathing suit is UGLY as hell. I how dare you insult big girls everywhere on that one? I’m sure there were some cuter tankinis or boyshorts. “BOOOOOOO” to you on that choice lol! Also RiRi would not wear that ugly ass black one piece. She’s about as girly as they come. Ya’ll need to stop feeding into that poseur ass “rocker chic” shit she’s pulling. It’s called an imagine ppl… wake up!

  52. pastry clothes

    Beyonce and Rihanna style is definitely HOT and SEXY!

  53. chanelle brown

    I PERSONALLY THINK JENNIFER HUDSON REPRESENTIN FOR DA BIG GIRLS, NOT SAYIN THAT IM BIG BUT IM THICK AND DAT IZ A SEXY BATHIN SUIT!!!!
