Spring break is officially here and that means you’re probably on the prowl for new swimwear. But with so many skimpy styles out there we know how hard it can be to find a swimsuit that’s both sexy and flattering. So we’re turning to a few celebrities who’ve mastered the combination for inspiration.
Halle Berry, Susan Lucci, Elizabeth Hurley and many more stars over 50 have found such an amazing selection of cute, not-overly-revealing swimwear that we shopped out their chic one-pieces, daring bikinis and sun-safe rash guards so you can steal their style this summer.
Jane Seymour
Jane showed off the results of her eight-pound weight loss by posting an Instagram photo in her red plunging one-piece with flattering ruching along the torso. We found a similar look for less in this Lauren Ralph Lauren one-piece (below) featuring tummy-control ruching.

Halle Berry
The 51-year-old added some extra sexy elements to her swimwear look thanks to the strappy cutouts on her halter top and bottoms.

Elizabeth Hurley
Hurley has an endless supply of suits (just one of the perks of having her own swimwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach), but this one-piece has just the right amount of coverage and sexy elements thanks to the plunging, cutout neckline. (Though, the La Blanca suit we found, below, has a bit more coverage for those who don’t want to bare quite as much as Hurley.)

Brooke Shields
Shields, 52, visited “another blue lagoon” on vacation in the Bahamas wearing a two-toned Flagpole bikini. Thanks to the bralette-style top and full coverage briefs, this two-piece is a bit less revealing than a traditional string bikini.

Susan Lucci
The 71-year-old’s strapless Eres swimsuit is both flattering and sexy thanks to that sweetheart neckline and bright red hue.

Lisa Rinna
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star brought back her “old school” Ed Hardy printed two-piece during her vacay to Paradise Island. But you can give her throwback string bikini an updated (and more supportive!) look by going with a festive floral print that has an underwire top, like this find from Lands’ End.
