We knew it was just a matter of time before we saw one of our favorite swimwear celebs, Mischa Barton, looking like she’s hot off the cover of Sports Illustrated.

And we’re willing to bet she’s wearing an Anna Kosturova monokini crochet creation — either that or a near replica of it! One thing’s for sure, that stunning One Piece is working wonders on Mischa’s tall and curvacious frame.

We love the way she paired this lovable one piece with a funky summer hat and easy denim shorts with cute pockets on the front. Let’s face it, Mischa doesn’t ever have to get wet in this sexy swimwear.

This beautiful handmade crochet piece works it’s magic long before the waves ever touch it. Whether you take it for a swim, or wear it dry for looks only, we think you’ll look as fabulous as Mischa does.

You might also try wearing this fun monokini like a one-piece bodysuit by pairing it with a colorful summer skirt. Just slip on some esparadrills and you’ve got a hippie-inspired outfit, perfect for the mall.

Sleek and sexy monokinis are the new sweethearts in the swimwear industry. And now the popular Hello Kitty swimwear brand is riding the one-piece wave with their Junior’s Swimwear Cruise Collection for 2009.

We think this monokini (which we’ve nicknamed the monokitty) from the Hello Kitty “Pop Purrfect” line will have more than nine lives this season!

It’s a stunning black and grey striped Bandeau top accented with the to-die-for Hello Kitty logo. The top connects to the bikini bottom with a single solid centerstrip that shows off curvy hips.

We got a first-hand look at this One Piece at the Miami Swimwear show in July, and it looks even better in person.

The monokini trend is so hot that fashionista Paris Hilton ran a nationally televised ad wearing nothing but a now infamous monokini.

She’s been spotted in other stylish monokinis as well. Hmmm… now what was that ad about again?

Drawing inspiration from the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil, Vix swimwear designer, Paula Hermanny infuses bold colors and
contrasting prints in the Vix Spring/Summer 2009 swimwear collection.

The new swimwear line debuted at Miami’s Fashion Week and featured elements including beautiful bronze metallics, colorful retro prints contrasted with solids and stripes, unforgettable cut-out monokinis and lots of mod bikinis with exquisite buckle and ring hardware detail.

We think this lavish, gold-like grommet embellished String bikini has major star potential, especially right here in South Beach. What’s not to love about all that bling glittering in the sun?
Vix isn’t the only designer taking note of the “gold rush” swimsuit trend. Guess also has a sizzling gold bikini that’s turning heads.

And Hollywood’s getting gold fever too. The Hills star, Audrina Patridge was recently spotted sporting a hippie-chic, front tie, summer-gold Halter bikini.

Bikinis that Balance out Curves

You don’t have to be pencil thin to look good in a bikini. The Kate Moss “waify” look is a thing of the past, and now curves are in… in a very big way. If you’re a curvy girl, you don’t have to rule out wearing a two piece at the beach — there’s strategy in choosing bikinis that can balance out your lovely contours.

In fact, many swimwear designers including big names such as Ed Hardy, Poko Pano and Pistol Panties to name a few, have sexy two piece and monokini swimsuits that flatter curvacious figures.

Red Carter has some gorgeous monokini cut-out swimsuits that can work wonders for girls with curves.
Here’s proof positive that choosing the right swimsuit can flatter even the most shapely curves — check out Hollywood star, Kim Kardashian in this smoking hot one-piece cut-out. We all know that that Kim’s best assets are… ahem… behind her.

In this striking monokini , it’s all about smoke and mirrors. Kim gets the most of her curves with an optical illusion. The vertical connecting piece draws the eye down the center of her swimsuit, creating a major contrast to her voluptuous curves. The result? A flawless, hour-glass figure.
