Illustrated Guide: How To Look Good In A Bikini

Remember last week when we showed you how to find the right swimsuit for your body? Well, that was last week. This week, we’re going to zero in on the old albatross: the bikini. Now, any ladymag will tell you that the key to wearing a bikini is confidence! but they’ll sandwich that canny little platitude in between pages of celeb diet tips & tricks, photos of models airbrushed beyond recognition and pages and pages of expensive clothes and make-up you now think you need.

If you’ve ever read a ladymag or even seen one while in line at the grocery store, you know that every summer brings approximately one thousand guides promising to place you with the right or ideal or perfect swimsuit for your body type.

First of all, we’re sorry if that headline sounds like a pun. It’s not; Kristen Stewart looks legitimately vampy in her British GQ ed: Veronica Lake-style side swept hair, red lips and cat eyes.

Stewart was photographed for the November issue (wonky cover and all) by Norma Jean Roy and styled by Sally Lyndley in a number of retro swimsuits by Eres, Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors. More »
