Anyone who is wishing for the swimsuits of days gone by that feature extreme styles will adore the spring collection of one-piece swimwear shown at NY fashion week by Gottex. Super-high cut legs, navel-baring necklines, and asymmetrical silhouettes peppered the runway show that recently took place.

Simple, bold colors and barely-there tie-dye swimsuits lent a strong earthy feel to the collection while metal trims and wide belts gave the bathing suits a strong urban vibe. Gottex designed the perfect blend contrasts with their hard-edged one-piece swimsuits they paired with flowing Grecian style wraps, cover-ups and kimonos.

Gottex’s theme was tough hippie chick, a look that only grows in popularity as time passes. Celebs are already going wild over the inspired new line of one-piece swimwear- keep a lookout for starlets of all ages to start popping up on beaches garbed in the swimsuits by Gottex soon.

White bikinis—and white bathing suits in general—are a difficult feat to pull off, and those of us who are pale and aren’t blessed with natural brown skin or a healthy glow tend to steer clear of them for fear of being washed out on the beach.

Leave it to Lindsay Lohan to bring hope to pale-skinned women everywhere, as she sits by her Hollywood hotel pool in a stunning white bikini, with a strapped bandeau top and perfect little bikini swimwear bottoms.

Though she usually sports her own fake spray tan line, Lindsay looks like she’s letting her natural freckled skin show, and it works well with this white swimsuit.

She looks healthy and fit, and the cut of the bandeau top is very flattering on her frame. While the actress has had her ups and downs in the last few years, this look is really an up for her.

Hopefully, it’s a reflection of the direction her career will be taking soon.

When it comes to celebrities and swimwear, it often seems like anything goes. Star swimsuit styles often push the limits of what average people would dare to wear at their next trip to the beach.

Most of us steer clear of plunging tops and g-string bottoms for more average, streamlined bikinis and bathing suits. So it’s very refreshing to catch a star who’s also wearing a simple, classic look that most of us would be comfortable trying on.

It seems that Jenny McCarthy and other celebrities, like Jennifer Garner and Cindi Crawford, are keeping with more classic bikini styles, instead of the itty bitty sexy cuts that never seem comfortable enough for sunbathing, let alone swimming in the waves!

Like Jenny McCarthy’s simple, striped bandeau top and side-tied bikini bottoms in this photo, stars sometimes surprise us with how simple their style can be. Granted, this celebrity momma is still hot as a summer day at the beach, but she shows us how simple, classic swimwear never goes out of style.

One of this season’s current, hottest swimsuits trends is bandeau swimwear. This easy-to-wear women’s swimwear style is flattering to any body shape, and offers a sleek, sporty swimwear silhouette while still managing to be both feminine and super sexy.

The bandeau’s barely-there design is made up of a single band across the bust instead of the typical triangle bra top, with a bikini style bottom.

Modified bandeau swimwear may be cinched in the middle for that added touch of cleavage, or may come with thin removable straps for an entirely new look, like the one by Salinas swimwear pictured below.

The bandeau has been seen recently on stars and celebrity trend-setters like Ashley Olsen, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, and Nicole Ritchie. This swimsuit promises staying power, and is not just a trendy look that’ll be long gone by next summer.

Need a bikini hot enough to melt the snowcaps of Mount Kilimanjaro?

Take a look at this beauty — an exotic two-piece swimsuit from the Alexis Swimwear collection, featuring sexy tribal and primal influences.

Yes, there’s something instinctively alluring about this hot little swimsuit number. And that makes the contrast of all those soft, sweet frills such a pleasant surprise.

This floral triangle bikini is an adjustable slider top, edged in delicate, feminine ruffles that gently frame the bust for a flattering effect.

And more romantic ruffles frame the bikini around the waist and flounce delicately around the hips, making this beautiful bikini extremely relevant, especially since ruffles are making a major fashion statement vogue this summer.

We love this swimsuit from Miami designer Alexis Barbara because it oozes sex appeal while exuding feminine qualities at the same time.

Our bikini warriors have sought out fashion shows near and far to find the hottest swimsuit for this spring… and we’ve found it!

Just have a little faith in this stunning turquoise “Faith” bikini from the Vix 2009 swimwear collection - it caught our attention and held us captivated by it’s sheer beauty.

The triangle tube top boasts a splash of 23K eye-catching gold detail on straps that tie at the back and neck.

But here’s the best part - that beautiful bling isn’t just for good looks. Move the gold square beading anywhere along the straps for a customized look to suit your taste, then adjust the triangles for cleavage control.

And that’s just on top. There’s more tubing on the bikini bottom, so you can adjust your swimsuit for the perfect rear view too.

We think this two piece embodies a wonderful Brazilian sensability that will get you noticed at the beach or on your next vacation.

Stop the presses… this darling-yet-daring mod bikini is already making headlines at some of the hottest beaches in the country.

We think Betsey Johnson’s conjured up the right recipe with this one-of-a-kind pattern two-piece bikini from her Black Magic Swimwear line.

Think sexy. Think sultry. Then add a hint of mystique, a pinch of attitude and adjust the straps to perfection for a customized fit.

The ring-shaped hardware detail on the top adds just the right amount of bling to the bikini top while the strappy tie sides on the bottom nicely accentuate the hips.

And when it comes to accentuating the hips and hugging all those other curves, Betsey Johnson swimwear always fits like a glove.

The brand’s swimsuits are not only stylish, they’re incredibly well constructed with unique prints and designs you won’t find elsewhere.

You’ll rule the beach and all the men on it in this swimsuit. We’re giving this one a two thumbs up for sheer fabulocity!

Peace, love and happiness is all you’ll ever need in this mod bikini that showcased at the Tommy Hilfiger booth during the 2009 Surf Expo in Orlando.

Many of the nation’s top swimwear designers and retailers joined hundreds of models inside the Orlando County Convention Center to showcase their summer fashions at the oldest and largest surf trade show in the US.

The event features exciting fashion shows, skate and boardsport demonstrations and attracts retailers and manufacturers from surf, skate, swimwear, and urban apparel shops.

We were among the 15,000 people who got a first-hand look at some of the hottest swimwear fashions that will be seen on the beach this summer.

And speaking of hot, we’re thinking you’ll easily raise the mercury in this mod, peace-themed, string bikini that delivers a one-love, stop-the-violence, “don’t I look sexy” type of message to the masses.

Best of all, you can make that statement without ever uttering a word… that’s why this hippie chic bikini with beaded side-ties is an easy winner in our book.

Ready for vibrant, almost electric swimwear to make you stand out at the beach and possibly even underwater?

If you like being noticed at the beach and want swimwear with an original flair, Agua Bendita might just be the answer.

We fell in love with this vibrant, multi-colored two piece bikini when it debuted and the Miami Swim Show last July at the Miami Convention Center.

It’s a beautiful string bikini with jewel tones and unique colors reminiscent of the hues you might see underwater. And it’s so sexy and festive that it just makes sense to pair this suit with accessories.

You can’t help but think that even the sun will notice you and smile a little brighter in such a delectable swimsuit.

It’s all part Agua Bendita’s vibrant swimwear collection. And the Agua Bendita brand is getting noticed… one of their swimsuits was featured in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

So if you want to make a big splash both on land or in the ocean, put on an Agua Bendita swimsuit and get ready to watch the sparks fly.

What do Paris Hilton and South Beach socialite-turned-swimwear fashion designer Alexis Barbara have in common? A little more than you may realize.

The two young heiresses are both drop-dead gorgeous fashionistas who move in high-profile circles, live jet-set Hollywoodesque lives and share a passion for haute couture fashion.

And last summer, Alexis Barbara debuted her first swimwear collection at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim featuring exotic and tribal influences. We really love this Miami native’s bikinis — they’re uber sexy and extremely skimpy, so wear if you dare.

Alexis has since launched a full ready-to-wear collection that’s getting rave reviews. In fact, the cameras spotted Paris Hilton ringing in the New Year in Australia sporting an ultra chic Alexis dress!

But the similarities don’t end there. Alexis, who like Paris is the daughter of a wealthy property developer (Oscar Barbara) has a thing for Australian hotties. She was once engaged to tennis star Mark Philippoussis — the same guy who had a very public fling with her royal blondness, Ms. Hilton.
