I like to think of this as the first bikini.

Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) is the original Bond girl, whose white-hot bikini look inspired many after her (see Halle Berry [5] in Die Another Day and Heather Graham in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me).

Deborah Foreman, Valley Girl

These Valley girls brought their mad '80s style to the beach, including skimpy tops, big sunglasses, and headbands.

Angela Bassett, How Stella Got Her Groove Back

This movie came in out 1998, and Angela Bassett looks exactly the same.

Forget about the white dress billowing over the subway grate — this Monroe moment is worth celebrating, too.

I can practically feel the slow-motion run through my computer screen.

This black comedy calls for a black bikini on Ricci's bad-girl character.

Debra Messing, Along Came Polly

Messing's two-piece is skimpy, yet her scuba instructor's suit is skimpier. Go figure.

Random Party Girls, Project X

If you've seen Project X, then you know this doesn't even scratch the surface of the crazy stuff that goes down at this party.

Blake Lively, The Shallows

Not many people can look like this in a white bikini.

Olivia Munn, Magic Mike

Barbra Streisand, The Owl and the Pussycat

Well hello, Babs!

Alexandra Daddario, Baywatch

Who knew lifeguard suits could be so cute?

Jane Fonda, Barbarella

Before she changed the '80s workout game forever, Fonda showed skin in the cult classic Barbarella.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Shallow Hal

I'm a big proponent of being happy with yourself, but would Rosemary really wear a bathing suit that skimpy?

Sarah Roemer, Disturbia

Raquel Welch, Fathom

The bikini queen of the '60s strikes again!

Darlanne Fluegel and Lisa Taylor, The Eyes of Laura Mars

Alison Lohman, Matchstick Men

This little two-piece is deceivingly innocent, like Lohman's character.

Kara Hayward, Moonrise Kingdom

The only thing better than a dance party is a beach dance party.

Joyce Hyser, Just One of the Guys

Though she poses as a dude to go to a different school, Hyser is very much a beautiful woman.
