There are swimsuits and there are celebrity swimsuits. The former are the kind that can get wet and sustain you for an entire summer. The latter are just for Instagram likes. Both have a place in this world.

Take for example, sequin bikinis. The look, pioneered by none-other-than Elle Woods (aka, Reese Witherspoon) from “Legally Blonde,” has become a bit of a celebrity staple as of late.

Who can forget when Kendall Jenner posted a pic of herself with sister Kourtney Kardashian wearing matchy-matchy sequin triangle bikinis. Hashtag yacht life!
