The Little Bikini That Could

Bar R bikiniBar Rafaeli's got it all: a movie star boyfriend, the cover shot on Sports Illustrated's hot Swimsuit Issue, and a to-die-for figure that makes guys swoon and girls green with envy.

Now she's got an additional credential to add to her resume: designer. Rafaeli recently collaborated with Hurley to create this simple-but-sexy bikini that looks good on every body type, including those that aren't quite as perfect as hers ... which applies to just about all of us. It's officially being called the Little Black Bikini, with a wink to the ubiquitous little black dress that hangs in most women's closets.

If you're thinking of picking up a new swimsuit for Memorial Day weekend, there's an added plus to this one: 10 percent of proceeds go to Boarding for Breast Cancer, a nonprofit that helps educate young people about early detection and prevention of the disease. As the group's name implies, it's not a traditional or stuffy charity; the goal is to help stop young women getting breast cancer by stressing the importance of self exams and staying active in a way that's accessible and — ultimately — extremely effective.

So if you're dreading pulling on a bikini next weekend, at least with this one you can feel good about helping thwart breast cancer in the process.

The Little Black Bikini is available at Hurley.com.
