2011 Summer Lovin

Bathing beauties Megan Gale and Rachael Finch were both on hand at Swimwear Galore's store opening in Malvern, VIC, last night showing attendees through their respective ranges. Ms Gale is of course the creative force behind her Isola swimwear range, and Rachael is the face and (very smokin'!) body for Speedo. The celeb ambassadors channelled the summery vibe of the event in fluid frocks — turquoise silk for Megan and terracotta crepe-chiffon for Rach. There were also some stellar swim styles on show, with sexy one pieces and retro high waisted bikini's modelled by a gaggle of gorgeous bikini babes. See something you like?

Lara Bingle frolics in the waves in an itty-bitty bikini on the latest cover of Who, which is on sale today. The model is currently on holiday in Bali with friends, where she posed for some snaps for the magazine in sexy swimwear. Lara, who says she has put on a bit of weight in the past few months, feels healthier and sexier than ever, despite some media calling her out for being ‘fat.’ And even though she’s had to deal with a high profile breakup in the public eye before, she says the body taunts are worse: “I walk outside and they [paparazzi] shout, ‘Give us a fat shot, Lara.’ This has affected me the most because it’s personal — it’s upsetting and has been blown out of proportion.” Something that’s in proportion, though, is Lara’s enviable figure — she loves that she’s a “boobs and a bum” girl and says being curvier makes her “feel great.”

Princess Mary and her husband, Prince Frederik, had a busy schedule in Sydney yesterday, after arriving in Australia on Saturday for a six-day visit. It’s the first time Mary has been back in the country since giving birth to her twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, who are 10-months-old and joined their parents on the trip! (The couple’s elder children, Prince Christian and Princess Isabella, didn’t accompany them.) As part of their Sunday in Sydney, Mary and Frederik visited Sculptures by the Sea along Bondi Beach, then headed to Customs House for an urban sustainability conference, where they trialled exercise bikes that are able to make smoothies. After a barbeque with 400 guests at Sydney Harbour, Mary and Frederik were reunited with their kids, and the family posed on the steps of Admiralty House with Governor-General Quentin Bryce as the twins held onto koala and kangaroo plush toys.

Mila Kunis donned bikini bottoms for the December Men of the Year edition of GQ. Mila was the lone woman to earn a distinction in the issue, being crowned the "Knockout" of 2011. She posed for photographer Terry Richardson both in-studio and at a pool, where she took to a diving board in heels. She broke from shooting Oz: The Great and Powerful to speak with one of the magazine's reporters about moving to the US as a child from the Ukraine. After making the writer a cold remedy that involved boiling wine, vodka and various vitamins, she also joked about how she doesn't take her work too seriously. Mila said:

• On moving to the US from Ukraine in second grade: "My English was a little janky. I didn't have very many friends. And there was this place advertised on the radio as a place for kids to meet other kids — an acting class. My parents couldn't afford a babysitter. They said, 'Great, that takes up our Saturday.'"
• On not taking herself too seriously: "I love what I do, but my theory is that it's people who doubt what they do and want to prove it to you, they're like 'It's art. I create art. It's art, art, art.' I'm like, Holy sh*t, are you f*cking kidding me? I run around and pretend I'm someone else for twelve hours; I record Family Guy. Then I get to go home and watch Jersey Shore."
