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.

Paris Hilton, Meet Alexis Barbara

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.

Who needs Hershey’s kisses when you’re rocking delicious looking swimwear so sweet, it’s almost good enough to eat.

Leave it to one-of-a-kind iconic swimwear designer Betsey Johnson to create a striking bikini that captures the youthful essense of playful sensuality while satisfying the sweet tooth all at the same time.

The solid mocha Bandeau top is accented with a lovely tie string that ties in the neck and is bejeweled with pink hardware that wears like a neck accessory.

And we couldn’t help but notice the intricate and oh-so-delicate hearts imprinted all over the bikini fabric on the top and bottom.

The bikini bottom is accented with chocolate and white striped side ruching to match the top’s stylish tie string.

This almost eatable Betsey Johnson Swimwear creation is definately swimwear you can sink your teeth into this summer!

Skip the ipod and all the other gifts this holiday.

Instead, just tell Saint Nick all you really want under your tree is this little Salinas bikini shown here on who else but Ashley Tisdale.

We spotted the High School Reunion star looking radiant and sporty in her sexy Salinas swimwear White Rainbow Tie Side bikini.

The white String bikini has attractive red trim detail and is accented with colorful strappy tie sides that double up on the bottom, along with a strappy tie in the center front for added festive flair.

Salinas swimwear appears to be a favorite choice for the Hollywood celebrity — she was also spotted on beautiful beach wearing a cherry striped, terry Salinas Straight Up bikini.

If you can effortlessly rock this teeny bikini the way Ashley does, then the only other thing you’ll need is sun and water.

We’ve taken all the guesswork out of finding your hottest swimwear for 2009!

From sexy metallic-striped bandeaus to oh-so-cute cover-up jumpers, Guess swimwear’s got a little bit of everything to suit all your bikini moods next summer.

The hot pink and metallic gold Bandeau bikini has a bond-girl star-quality appeal to it that’s undeniable.

We also like the hot black and Beige String bikini with the tunnel side bottom with the retro printed mesh fabric.

But the mod Guess cover-ups are sheer perfection. The delicious lemon cover-up jumper accented with comfy pockets and a drawstring is ideal for poolside lounging, and the lovable cover-up bandeau dress can easily be worn with a pair of cute Espadrilles for a day of South Beach shopping.

When it comes to haute couture swimwear design, nobody does it better than Red Carter.

The South Beach designer who dubs himself the “Austin Powers of the bikini business” is known for creating one-of-a-kind, original swimwear that incorporates pop culture in his swimwear themes.

In short, Red Carter bikinis are drop-dead sexy. Just check out this red-hot bikini designed to push all the right Buttons when you wear it on deck or at the beach.

This nautical-inspired two piece from his “Red Buttons” line features a well-constructed Triangle top that ties in the back and neck.

But the real highlight of this swimsuit is the Boy Short bikini bottom! It’s sporty, stylish and sexy all at the same time with to-die for white buttons to accent the whole look.

The fire-engine red, boy-toy bikini is an easy showstopper, so if you want to get noticed on deck… this is a definite yes!

There’s a reason why we call this sporty, Retro bikini absolutely puuuurfect — it’s because this swimsuit practically has nine lives!

Just look how adorable this Hello Kitty two piece from the 2009 collection looks on this carefree-looking teen model.

This boy toy bikini features a halter top with the famous kitty insignia on the left front panel. The halter has an adjustable sliding bra that ties at the neck and back.

And speaking of the back, the bikini bottom is an ultra-sexy mod Boy Short with a cute draw string at the waist.

It has a cheeky bottom cut and the Hello Kitty logo inscribed across the derierre.
You’ll definitely get noticed on the beach in this playful combo.

You can also sport this funky look at the park on roller blades, or swap out the boy shorts for matching hipster bikini bottoms with cute beaded, tassel tie sides.

If there’s one thing Carmen Electra knows how to do well – is look super sexy in a bikini.

Cameras spotted the red-hot actress in the beautiful island of Jamaica at a posh beach resort sporting an ultra skimpy Brazilian bikini by Rebequinha.

Carmen’s wearing a slinky String bikini with adorable ruffle detail on the top and cute butterfly insignias on the bottom. This sizzling bikini will make definitely make heads turn at the beach, so buyer beware… bodyguards not included.

The Rebequinha line of swimwear became known for its spreads in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. We love this brand because their swimsuits are cut with a Brazilian style that can transform the average bikini-ready body into a showstopper on the beach.

We’re told Carmen Electra absolutely loved this bikini. But these days, her only true love is Korn guitarist Rob Patterson. To show her love, the hot actress is sporting a new “R” tattoo behind her ear.

When Cameron Diaz hits the beach for some fun and sun, people notice. The striking bleach blonde beauty turns heads with her surfer girl looks and perfect body, but we couldn’t take our eyes off her choice of swimwear — a well-constructed, body hugging Rosa Cha bikini!

We know that the “What Happens in Vegas” star is more of a sporty beach girl, so seeing the likes of Cameron Diaz in a sexy, Sophisticated Brazilian two piece is all the more thrilling.

We give her a “two thumbs” for sporting this soft-toned, Bandeau Halter bikini with side ring detail like it was made for her (ahem… it probably was).

And yes, we do realize that the statuesque blonde could probably look good wearing her grandma’s house dress and slippers to the beach, but the fact that she chose to wear Rosa Cha – one of our favorite swimwear designers — says alot.

Here’s the good news… you don’t have to be a Hollywood star to look fabulous in Rosa Cha, and that’s why we love this designer.

In Hollywood, fashion trends are fleeting, but just like that little black dress that never steers you wrong, a teeny black string bikini is always a win-win for your getaway vacation.

Look how stunning Hillary Duff looks sporting this sexy halter-Bandeau bikini over the summer. We love that she accessorizes it with lots of arm and ear bling to complete the look.

We don’t know which designer the Hollywood A-lister is wearing, but it doesn’t really matter now, does it?

Any well made Black bikini that fits you well and hugs your curves in all the right places will do. Check out Rebiquinha’s striking two piece with the “Foxy” insignia on the bikini derriere.

Ali Larter who plays Sanders in “Heroes” looks absolutely fantastic in her micro String bikini as she saunters along a beach in Malibu. Of course, you don’t have a drop-dead gorgeous athletic Bond Girl-esque body to pour into that tiny two piece like Ali… but it certainly helps!
