Brooke Shields [1] posted quite a few bikinigrams while on a blissful holiday, but it was her Flagpole Swim [2] number — a colourblock black and white two-piece with removable straps — that held all of our attention. There we were, clicking back and forth between the two angles Brooke shared of her suit, front and back, back and front, until finally we got up to get our credit cards. Every woman needs a sophisticated balconette bikini like this one in her drawer, are we right?

First of all, it goes with virtually any cover-up and any pair of sandals you might pack [3], since it's two-toned, and its diagonal stripes are incredibly flattering [4]. The structured design fit Brooke like a glove, and it'd be appropriate at any age. We're sure you need no further convincing. Read on to take another look at the 52-year-old model and actress flaunting the hell out of this suit, then score it for yourself or find a similar option ahead.
