The figleaves.com Beach Awards

Our favourite celeb beach moments of summer 2007.

Sister Act

Whether it's Penelope looking magnificent in a black one-piece or sister Monica flying the flag for stripes, nobody showed off this summer's swim trends as effectively as the Cruz sisters.

 

See our one-pieces here; stripes here 

Hunk in Trunks

A close-fought contest (Jack Nicholson, for example, resplendant in his floral trunks), but tennis star Rafael Nadal took the prize thanks to his red hot boardshorts - who needs budgie smugglers, eh?

See Jack-style florals; Rafa-style red

Best accessory

Hat? Sunnies? Kaftan? Nope. As Tara Reid, Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff all know, this year's essential beach accessory is a dog. Paris Hilton was way ahead of the trend.

OK we don't sell dogs. But take a look at our cover-ups

Most inappropriate swimwear

OK, we're not proud of ourselves - picking on poor old Britney really lacks imagination - but we couldn't let this one go. Swimming in your underwear?

No, Britney, no! Shop the latest swimwear

Most photo-ops

Matthew swims! He surfs! He snogs! He works out! Barely a week goes by without yet another photo of Matthew McConaughey on the beach hitting the wires.

Surfer dude: see boardshorts
