The Most Iconic Swimsuits Ever

JUNE 25, 2010

The best bathing suits aren’t always practical—Raquel Welch’s prehistoric two-piece wouldn’t have lasted long in open waters—but they’re impossible to forget. With a little help from InStyle Fashion Director Hal Rubenstein, we've compiled a slideshow of the most iconic swimsuits ever.

Brigitte Bardot, The Girl In The Bikini, 1952
Four years before her performance in And God Created Woman established Brigitte Bardot as an international sex symbol, she was made a stir as The Girl in the Bikini. And it’s easy to see why: The pale two-piece she wore in the 1952 film was simple, yet sensational.

Deborah Kerr, From Here to Eternity,1953

“I don’t think anyone knew I could act until I put on a bathing suit,” Deborah Kerr once said, referring to her star-making turn as an adulterous wife in 1953’s From Here To Eternity. But what a bathing suit it was! Sexy, yet structured, with a wide, waist-cinching belt, it was just the thing for a wave-splashed romp in the sand with co-star Burt Lancaster

Elizabeth Taylor, Suddenly, Last Summer, 1959

Yes, the plot was rather melodramatic. But the pure white tank that Elizabeth Taylor wore in 1959’s Suddenly, Last Summer—in which she played a mental patient disturbed after witnessing her cousin’s shocking death—was nothing short of perfection.

Ursula Andress, Dr. No,1962

The first-ever Bond girl, in 1962’s Dr. No, set the bar pretty high. (Indeed, this was Rubenstein’s pick for Most Iconic Suit.) “As Honey Rider,” he said, “Ursula Andress stepped out of the Caribbean and into the fantasies of every guy longing to be James Bond. The matching knife belt was a cute touch.”

Annette Funicello, Beach Party, 1963

Former Mouseketeer Annette Funicello was the original Disney star. And, just like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, she rebelled against her squeaky-clean image as she made the transition from girl to woman. Walt himself reportedly asked her not to wear navel-baring swimsuits when she signed on to shoot Beach Party in 1963. But Funicello, then twenty years old, nevertheless dared to don this (still pretty innocent) number.

Sally Field, Gidget,1965

Gidget, as played by Sally Field in the eponymous 1965 television series, was the ultimate California girl. A sturdy pink-and-white bikini suited the boy-crazy surfer perfectly as she went about on her Malibu misadventures.

Raquel Welch, One Million Years B.C.,1966

“If women in prehistoric times really looked and dressed like this,” Rubenstein said of the animal-skin two-piece Raquel Welch wore in 1966’s One Million Years B.C, “a lot more people today would be studying cave paintings. As fabulous as it is ludicrous, it may be film’s most famous bathing suit that never got wet.”

Pam Grier, Coffy,1973

In 1973’s Coffy, Pam Grier played a nurse-turned-vigilante (or, as the film’s poster would have it, a “one-chick hit squad”) but she looks pretty sweet in this super-'70s macramé triangle top.

Farrah Fawcett, 1976

To promote her instant celebrity in Charlie’s Angels, a Cleveland poster company arranged to shoot Fawcett in a bikini at her house in 1976. As Rubenstein explained, "She wasn’t comfortable so exposed, so she pulled this red one-piece from her closet. The company hated the pic, but Farrah had final approval (and retained photo rights). Smart girl: The poster sold over 12 million copies and is still for sale today."

Bo Derek, 10, 1979

“Her perfect score has never been beaten,” Rubenstein said of Bo Derek’s appearance in a nude maillot in the 1979 movie 10. “She may have been the best thing to happen to sales of the one-piece,” he added.
