Some onscreen style moments are just too iconic to forget. Audrey Hepburn's elegant black gown complete with a statement diamond necklace and velvet gloves in Breakfast at Tiffany's? Legendary. Diane Keaton's relaxed khaki slacks, waistcoat, white shirt, and tie ensemble in Annie Hall? Memorable, to say the least. Alicia Silverstone's yellow tartan skirt suit in Clueless? As if we could forget that utterly '90s look.
Now that summer is upon us, we're turning our attention to the most memorable swimsuits to appear onscreen. From Brigitte Bardot's classic white bikini in the aptly named film The Girl in the Bikini to Sophia Loren's timeless one-piece in Madame Sans Gene to Halle Berry's belted orange bikini (complete with a knife holster, of course) in Die Another Day, these are, without a doubt, the most famous Hollywood swimsuits.
