Vintage Beach Photos of Hollywood’s Golden Icons

Brigitte Bardot is back on our list of vintage celebrity beach moments; this time, she’s dressed perfectly for the occasion. Clad in a stunning white bikini, she graces the screen in The Girl in the Bikini—a title that leaves little mystery about its star.

In the U.S., the 1952 film was released as Manina, The Girl in the Bikini, marking just Bardot’s second major role. Though still an up-and-comer then, her effortless beauty and magnetic presence were already undeniable.
