Bo Derek set the unattainable standard for one pieces (and women!) everywhere. Following the film, this style (sans camel toe) flew off shelves. Unfortunately, the perfect body wasn't included. Thanks a lot, Bo. We're not all 10s.

Apparently Kazakhstan isn't big on manscaping! Sacha Baron Cohen's trendsetting look later inspired a slightly less hairy John Mayer to give it a go while on a cruise in 2008. Very nice!

Not everyone can pull off a strapless one-piece, but not everyone is Marilyn Monroe. Designed by William Travilla, the suit doesn't quite look waterproof. But hey, it's Hollywood magic.

The only thing better than the front of this bathing suit is the back. The sheer nude material gives the impression of a nearly nude Goldie Hawn. Zebra hasn't stood the test of time, but how could this image not be implanted in your brain? Sisqo was allegedly inspired to write the ''Thong Song'' after watching the 1987 film.*

*That is not true, not true at all.

Consider it one size fits all. Back in 2008, Carrey stepped out of his Malibu beach house and onto the sand wearing the same skimpy black swimsuit his then-girlfriend McCarthy had worn earlier that day. Sadly, the couple that (cross)dresses together doesn't always stay together.

''I don't think anyone knew I could act until I put on a bathing suit,'' Deborah Kerr once told Collier's magazine. Surely her Academy Award nomination put an end to that. She may not have taken home the award, but this halter swimsuit helped her win the heart of Sgt. Milton Warden (Burt Lancaster) in the 1953 Best Picture winner.

The 1959 film might have been a mystery flick, but Elizabeth Taylor's white swimsuit didn't leave much to the imagination. After a dip the in the water, there was no question what was behind that transparent suit.

She passed away in June 2013, but the memory of ''America's Mermaid'' swims on in films like this 1953 gem. No one could pull off a one-piece and matching headpiece quite like Williams.
