The Most Iconic Swimsuit Bodies Ever

Swimsuit season is rough. The dieting, the workouts, the body prep — it takes a lot for women to strip down to essentially their underwear in front of friends, family, and complete strangers. But it’s hot out and there’s fun to be had, so it’s time to wear that bikini loud and proud. In honor of the unofficial start to summer, we’ve rounded up some of the sexiest swimsuit bodies out there to serve as inspiration. From Elizabeth Taylor’s classic cleavage-baring one-piece amd Racquel Welch’s fur bikini to Pam Anderson’s red tanksuit and Kate Upton’s barely-there string bikini, these ladies wore their swimwear with confidence, just as you should.
