For most of us, it's flip flops, last year's saggy swimming costume and a plastic shopping bag as a carry-all at the beach. But for Hollywood star Kate Beckinsale, a day on the sand is a far more glamorous affair.
The stylish sun-worshipper donned a glamorous wide-brimmed hat and a gold trimmed bikini to spend the American Labour Day weekend at a beach in Mexico.
Posing in her tiny black bikini, there's no denying that Kelly Bensimon looks great in a bikini. But the pronounced muscles rippling in her shoulders and arms proved it takes work to look this good. The Real Housewives Of New York star, 42, showed barely a scrap of spare flesh, with her stomach toned and flat as she sunbathed in Florida's Fort Lauderdale
What's a girl to do when the world is speculating about the state of her romantic life?WAG Nereida Gallardo decided a trip to the beach was in order to show Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo exactly what he's missing.
The busty Spanish model stripped off on the beach to a less than shy and retiring shiny gold bikini, and took centre stage as she strutted the beach in Mallorca.
They're undeniably easy on the eye. So it's no surprise that new adverts for Emporio Armani play up Megan Fox and Cristiano Ronaldo's sexy side.
In Fox's latest advert she is seen answering a hotel door to a room service waiter wearing only her Armani underwear and a robe, while Ronaldo gives a housekeeping employee more than she bargains for when he wanders into his suite wearing only some tight-fitting briefs.
She spends most of her days and nights rocking and rolling her socks off.And all that dancing has clearly paid off for actress Roxanne Pallett who looked sensational as she soaked up the rays on holiday. The former Emmerdale star was snapped looking trim and toned in her bikini as she enjoyed a short break in Spain this weekend.
She's the English model who managed to snare a Hollywood boyfriend in the form of George Clooney, and it's not hard to see why. Lisa Snowdon showed off her stunning figure in a series of designer bikinis while on holiday in the Caribbean earlier this month - making the most of the sunshine in a selection of tiny two-pieces. And the 38-year-old presenter was determined to look her best during her trip, splashing out on a £280 Missoni bikini and a £140 Vix Ana two-piece for the vacation.

She gave birth just five months ago, and Elisabetta Gregoraci is clearly proud of having regained her pre-pregnancy figure so quickly. The Italian model, who is married to Formula One boss Flavio Briatore, showed off her incredible figure in yet another bikini as she cuddled son Falco Nathan on the beach. Elisabetta, 30, donned a sequinned bandeau top and khaki bikini bottoms, as well as a pair of huge sunglasses, and waved to onlookers as she posed on the beach.
With her new supersonic breast implants, keeping a tiny strapless bikini in place was always going to be a tough task. And it's something Heidi Montag found out to her cost when one of her pneumatic breasts nearly escaped from her top as she splashed around in the Costa Rican surf.
The 25-year-old star looked vaguely horrified at her bikini malfunction as she frantically tried to keep things covered up.
