Dive Into These 21 Chic Swimsuit Movie Moments 

It’s Memorial Day weekend, which means summertime is officially here. This year’s activities are going to look different, as many public pools or beaches will remain closed to enforce social distancing efforts. However, while you might not get your picture-perfect beach day in the months ahead, you can turn to the best beach moments on film as the next best thing. Losing yourself in summery cinematic settings—with a tropical cocktail in hand, hopefully!—can still channel the joyful spirit of the season.

In honor of summer, Vogue rounded up the best pool- or beach-side movie moments to dive into. In addition to the dreamy summer landscapes, these 21 flicks particularly got stylish swimwear right, too. Should you be in the market for a new one-piece or two-piece, these films offer warm-weather ensembles that are still iconic years (or decades) later. Consider it inspiration for a sunning session in the backyard, should you be lucky enough to have green space.

Highlights on the list include Halle Berry as a Bond girl in Die Another Day. Who could forget her first scene, when she emerges from the ocean in a perfectly-cut orange bikini? Femme fatales seem to prefer bikinis: Salma Hayek in From Dusk till Dawn was another deadly temptress, and her high-cut style is equally killer (and no, you don’t need to carry around a snake like she does).

As for more classic styles, Elizabeth Taylor’s clean white one-piece in Suddenly, Last Summer is a timeless silhouette that will never go out of style. Nor will the famous red bikini that Phoebe Cates wore in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, an unforgettable suit that remains a sizzling piece of pop culture.
