In honor of Memorial Day and the official start of bikini season, we're breaking down some of Hollywood's most memorable bikini moments ... and there are a lot! It all started in 1946 when the bikini made its world debut on 19-year-old French showgirl Micheline Bernardini, who dared to go where no woman had gone before … right into a two-piece! From that day forward, Hollywood's hottest starlets have frolicked beachside in their itty-bitty bikinis.
Hollywood's original bombshell, Marilyn Monroe, had tongues wagging in 1951 when she donned an iconic polka-dot bikini over her infamous traffic-halting curves. And Halle Berry gave former Bond girl Ursula Andress a major run for her money in a figure-flaunting belted orange bikini as she emerged from the water in slow motion in the 2002 film "Die Another Day."
