A sexy bikini is an absolute must for any summer wardrobe and has always been a sure way to turn heads on the beach but just what makes for a memorable swimsuit?
Perhaps the most iconic bikini was the one worn by Ursula Andress in James Bond's 'Dr No' . This military style, belted 2 piece stole many men's hearts as Ursula rose out of the sea back in 1962 and this look still has the same affect now.
A military style bikini like Ursula's is great for pear shapes. A top with half cups can create a cleavage from almost nothing to which the eye is drawn by the bow design in the centre. The belted bottoms are also great for hiding wobbly hips and flattening the stomach.
Paris Hilton may not be wearing her bikini in jail but we can't forget how fantastic she looked in the Carl's Jr burger commercial. The backless, cut out number she wore while washing that car wasn't exactly practical but it perfectly suited her super-toned body.
Full swim suits with cut-out sections are huge this season and they're great for poolside glamour. However only the most toned women should attempt this look. No one wants to look like they've squeezed into something that used to belong to Little Britain's Daffyd.
No list of memorable swimsuits would be complete without mentioning Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC. She made the stone age sexy with her leopard skin two piece and there's no reason why animal prints can't be worn in 2007.
You don't have to skin a leopard to look as good as Raquel, there are plenty of cool animal prints around on the high street. Those who don't feel brave enough to wear prints can spice up a plain bikini with a bright sarong or short wrap to release their inner beast.
It's not just women who look great in swimsuits- we all love a hot man to look at on the beach. Daniel Craig is probably up there as one of the hottest. The sight of him coming out of the sea in Casino Royale was the saviour of every girl who had been dragged to the cinema by their other half.
