Chris Evans's cable-knit sweater [1] from "Knives Out" pales in comparison to the sequel's many chic swimsuits. In "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," a group of old friends jet off to tech billionaire Miles Bron [2]'s private Greek island for a murder-mystery-themed getaway with their finest holiday wear tucked away in designer luggage. They waste no time in stripping down into swimwear, with each character [3] bringing a little something different to the table.
It's hard to rip your eyes away from Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson [4]) when she makes her poolside entrance as if she were walking the New York Fashion Week runway, clad in an orange bikini with a patterned cover-up flowing in the wind behind her. She's joined by Whiskey (Madelyn Cline), who emerges from the water in slow motion wearing a gold string bikini, and Andi aka Helen (Janelle Monáe), who means business in a black-and-white one-piece. Meanwhile, Duke (Dave Bautista) shows off his tattoo collection in a barely there speedo, Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig [5]) remains far more covered up in striped separates, and Peg (Jessica Henwick) disguises athleisure as swimwear.
"Glass Onion" costume designer Jenny Eagan [6] told POPSUGAR all about what inspired the film's standout swimwear moments — and yes, she shared the brands for each one. Read ahead to get the full scoop and shop our top dupes for swimsuits worn by Birdie, Whiskey, Helen, and Peg.
Birdie Jay's Orange Bikini in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"
"Birdie wants people to stop and witness. There is no 'too much' in this character's vocabulary," Eagan tells POPSUGAR. In order to curate a head-turning moment, she chose an orange bikini with ruffled off-the-shoulder straps by Black-owned swimwear label [8] Andrea Iyamah.

Whiskey's Gold Bikini in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"
"Glass Onion" fans have been searching high and low to identify Whiskey's metallic two-piece, and we finally have the answer: It's from a Greek label called Alisahne. Eagan sought for Whiskey to exude "a subtle, chic, easy elegance" and "a real undeniable confidence" with her swim style. She landed on the Alisahne bikini after falling in love with how the sunlight reflects off the fabric.

Helen's Black-and-White One-Piece in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"
"[Helen] wasn't there to relax, but there for business — [she's] playing the game, but also needs to be able to move around and get the job done," Eagan says. To portray "sophistication and intimidation," she landed on a one-shoulder Balmain one-piece with a small chest cutout.

Peg's Black-and-White Sports Bra in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"
"I think everything Peg does is out of necessity," Eagan says. "The attention always needs to be on Birdie, [so we] kept everything versatile. We made it easy to remove layers and just have the sports bra play as swimwear — a capsule wardrobe if you will." She selected a black-and-white Intimissimi sports bra, styled with a bucket hat, grey drawstring sweat shorts, sunglasses, a fanny pack, and strappy sandals.
