Celebrity Swimwear: Evangeline Lilly’s Surfer Girl Style

It’s pretty much an unwritten rule that Evangeline Lilly has to have fantastic beach style. She gets paid to run around on the beaches of Hawaii filming Lost, a perfect gig for an avid surfer and someone with a great swimsuit body.

To make her boyish figure look more feminine, Evangeline chooses bright, girly florals. Poppy pink hibiscus flowers against an ocean-blue backdrop make a terrifically ladylike Hawaiian uniform. A halter-style top smartly draws attention away from barely-there hips and puts the focus on Evangeline’s toned arms and shoulders.

To get Evangeline’s fresh, carefree surfer-girl style, look for bold colors and big patterns -– think big, beachy florals and hippy-chic paisleys in tropical colors. Cut-wise, look for something that offers some coverage for wave-riding. Try Salinas Swimwear’s aqua rose ‘Guadalupe’ bikini ($60) or Betsey Johnson’s ‘Betseyville Rose’ Side Tie Bikini ($74) and matching bralette ($70), accented with an ultra-girly green gingham ruffle. For Evangeline’s look on a dime, Xhilaration’s Hibiscus Passion Halter Swim Top($11) offers all the goods -– a supportive, wave-ready halter in flashy turquoise -– for just a few bucks.
