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!

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.

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!

Betsey Johnson's Saloon Bikini

We couldn’t take our eyes off this Betsey Johnson stunner of a bikini from the swimwear designer’s 2009 collection.

We were at the Miami Swim Show last July for a first-hand look at Betsey Johnson’s newest swimwear pieces… and we were delighted with what we saw.

The model is sporting a sassy, borque print saloon bra bikini. The bikini bra is well constructed halter with an underwire for support.

And with Betsey Johnson, the devil is always in the details — the bikini top is edged with tiny ruffles to give it that sexy “bar saloon” look.

You can swap out the bikini hipster bottom for a same-print skirtini, or pair it with the soft-print white one (shown on the left). You can also wear one of those exquisite cover-ups over your bikini or as a stand-alone summer dress.

Betsey Johnson's Retro Tankini

The swimsuit Tankini just got sexier with Betsey Johnson’s flirty new take on this piece — the Retro Tankini from her “Fever” collection.

We just can’t say how much we adore this festive Betsey Johnson tankini that blouses out into a semi-skirtini over a peek-a-boo, cheeky hipster bottom. It’s a mod beach look that incorporates a cosmopolitan mix of old Hollywood glamor and haute couture.

It also gives you the best of both worlds. It’s a swimsuit that looks like a One Piece but is really a two piece in disguise. And the high quality bra top construction on this suit is unmistakably Betsy.

Our hats off to Betsey Johnson for making the tankini functional and feminine!

This Leopard-Print Bikini is the Cat's Meow

We can’t even tame this fierce felion… a wild safari-print halter skirtini plucked straight from Betsey Johnson’s eclectic closet at the Miami Swimwear Show this summer.

The leopard-themed swimsuit features a well-constructed halter top accented with an attractive, gold-rimmed band. The bikini top ties in the neck and the back for maximum cleavage control.

And this sassy skirtini offers the best of both worlds — a bold bikini bottom with a flirtatious little skirt combo that offers some derriere coverage without giving up an ounce of sex appeal. Yes, this is perfect for girls with a little “junk in the trunk.”

Leave it to Betsey to come up with a stunner of a bikini that look’s like the cat’s meow. It’s from her “What’s New Pussycat” swimwear collection for 2009, and we can see it becoming a hit right here in sunny South Beach among the hit and uber-trendy crowd.

If you’re into felion and exotic prints, you should also check out Red Carter’s wildcat one-piece monokini and Vix’s animal-print two piece.

Swimwear Trend for 2009: Romantic Ruffles

Ruffles and frill-inspired bikinis are making big waves in swimwear for 2009. Our Swimwear Team saw models sporting everything ruffled from Triangle tops to bandeaus, and frilly skiritinis at the Miami Swim Show.

We saw lots of ruffles and frills peeking out whenever and wherever they could and we expect them to make headlines in next year’s swimwear. There were ruffled skirtinis from Betsey Johnson Swimwear, embellished frilly triangle tops by Pistol Panties, bandeaus, soft ruffle-edged bikini bottoms and flouncy cover-ups.

But we almost died and went to swimwear heaven when we stumbled across this unbelievably sexy, Ann Margaret-inspired bikini stunner from local Miami designer, Alexis Barbara.

Check out the wooden pull-thru hardware detail on the neck tie.

The ruffled Sliding Triangle to is elegant, sexy and oh-so-prissy! And if you’re a little light in the cleavage department, ruffles add layers that help to fill you out. The long, strappy tie sides help make this gorgeous two piece a winner in our book.

And it’s definitely a winner on sexy model/actress (bottom left) Michelle Hunziker. She was spotted on Formentera Island wearing a similar version of the Barbara bikini.
