10 Best Celebrity Bikinis of 2010

1. Best metallic: Kim Kardashian

The bikini queen and reality show star looked top brass in this bronze triangle-top suit. On anyone else, the combination of metallic fabric, metallic accents and strings might be a little much, but on Kardashian, it’s just right.





Best bright: AnnaLynne McCord
In Miami, the “90210″ star opted for a hot pink two-piece paired with multiple bracelets, necklaces, and simple black shades. The vibrant color was perfect for the setting — and brought out her (safe, we hope!) tan.





Best body: Halle Berry

It’s hard to believe that the Oscar-winning actress is 44; in this cute suit-and-short-shorts combination, Berry showed off a body that women half her age would envy. We love her little “accessory”– adorable 2-year-old daughter Nahla — too.



Best accessories: Sienna Miller

We like Miller’s patterned bandeau bikini, but we love the layers of gold and silver jewelry she piled atop it while playing with on-again beau Jude Law on a beach in Ponzo, Italy.



Prettiest pattern: Kate Bosworth

Bosworth first found fame in the 2002 surf flick “Blue Crush,” so it’s no surprise she’d make our top 10. Lounging poolside after a long weekend at the Coachella Music Festival, she looked downright groovy in this purple tie-dye two-piece.




Cutest cover-up: Katharine McPhee
McPhee’s striped bikini is chic on its own. But we love the pretty scarf she tied around her waist as an informal cover-up. Dark sunglasses and a light straw hat completed the stylish look.



Best retro: Taylor Swift
A retro-style suit is a great option for a girl who wants to show some skin, but not too much. Swift kept her high-waist, polka-dot two-piece from looking like a throwback by wearing it with quirky sunglasses and a loose, easy braid.





Best blue: Ashley Greene
This pretty hue is a perennial swimsuit favorite–no surprise, considering that it perfectly matches both a typical pool and the summer sky. The Twilight star’s version, which she sported in Las Vegas, featured a halter-style bandeau top, perfect for her lithe frame.




Best mix-and-match: Megan Fox
As Fox demonstrated in Maui, a mis-matched bikini can be even cuter than a perfectly coordinated style. Her denim-resembling bottom might be too much with a matching top, but it’s perfect when paired with a striped triangle style.




Best not-so-basic black: Kirsten Dunst
Snapped poolside at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, near Cannes, France, Dunst was proudly pale in a pretty black suit with a tie-front halter top. This one works for the “Spiderman” star because it offers plenty of support without being too covered up
