Memorial Day weekend saw the stars come out in flocks, and some of our favorites, Kelis and Sanaa Lathan, were in that number. If you're planning to strip down to your bathing suit this weekend, take a look at some of these cool options.

Sanaa Lathan keeps it covered, but incredibly fly. We really dug her black bikini top, matching cover-up, gold earrings and aviator shades. Get the look with these picks:

Kelis didn't let her burgeoning baby bump stop her from showing off a bikini body. She wore a mosaic-patterned blue bikini, like the ones below. If you're expecting, but aren't quite that bold, try one of the maternity cover-ups, or a flattering one-piece suit:

Accessorize any swimsuit with a couple of coats from one of Essie's new limited edition North Fork collection nail polishes. Their colors are inspired by nature, and we love the Greenport shade ($9, Essie.com).

And don't let the water tamper with your beauty game! Tote these beauty essentials along with you (tip: spray the leave-in conditioner on your hair before you get in salt water or a chlorinated pool):
