Vanessa Frolicks in Betsey Johnson Swimwear

We can’t all be lucky enough to live the fabulous life like the rich and famous, but with the right swimwear, you can easily fake the funk and look like a VIP in South Beach.

The paparrazi spotted the young and beautiful Vanessa Hudgens frolicking at the beach sporting a sexy striped Betsey Johnson bkini.

We absolutely love this nautical-themed look on the High School Musical 3 star! Her striking bikini is detailed with a rope-embellishment trim and finished with beaded, strappy tie sides for extra flair.

And kudos to Vanessa for perfecting this look with a Sara Jessica Parker-inspired daisy in her hair!

Now for extra star appeal, wrap an earth toned sarong around your waist and add a pair of slightly oversized shades along with a slightly oversized bag.

Next, add a chic beach hat and step into a pair of Esparadrills. And lastly, find some arm, neck and ear bling to finish the look and head poolside, or to the beach boutiques — anywhere you can been seen and noticed — for some star treatment.

Don’t worry if you can’t find any paparazzi to mistake you for Vanessa — just opt for plan “B” and head poolside in that hot bikini for free cocktails — you’ll get ‘em.
