Deni Kirkova hits Brighton beach in this season’s raciest swimwear

Loud and bold celebrities are going above and beyond in ever more daring bikinis to turn heads this summer.

After last year’s slashkini, it was hard to see where swimwear design could go next to capture the attention of the paparazzi.

But thanks to the likes of Kate Bosworth, the TOWIE girls and Denise Van Outen, plunging necklines are getting deeper, cut-outs racier and the teeny tiny triangle two-piece is back in fashion.

FEMAIL’s Deni Kirkova , 26, headed to Brighton beach, to test out ten of this season’s most daring swimwear styles

FEMAIL’s Deni Kirkova, 26, from London, headed to Brighton beach to test out ten of this season’s most daring swimwear styles. Here, she gives her verdict…

LINGERIE-STYLE LACE BIKINI

STYLE: Mai bikini, top £18, bottoms £12, annsummers.com

BEST FOR: Ladies with loud personalities and tons of confidence. Worn by Vicky Pattison, Danielle Armstrong (and most of the TOWIE girls) and Tyga’s former flame Demi Rose Mawby.

DENI’S VERDICT: This bikini is the raciest of the lot. It not only looks like underwear – lace, black on nude – but very sexy bedroom underwear!

Deni thought even on Brighton seafront, where anything goes, this one may have been a little too X-rated. Tyga’s former flame Demi Rose modelled the same sultry bikini on Instagram

The strappy caged harness detailing on both tops and bottoms makes it a real head-turner.

Even on Brighton seafront, where anything goes, this one may be a little too X-rated. On the other hand though, it stayed firmly in place and fitted really nicely.

It is a flattering bikini – perhaps best suited to pool parties where you’re looking to catch someone’s attention. 

You won’t go a miss, which is probably why Tyga’s former flame Demi Rose chose the same look when she shared a sultry snap on Instagram.

BAYWATCH 2.0 RED SWIMSUIT

Evangelina Plunge swimsuit, £20, prettylittlething.com: This swimsuit is extremely risky as well as risqué. The plunge goes right down to the bellybutton or below depending where yours sits – it’s basically knickers with a thick padded halter-neck strap

STYLE: Evangelina Plunge swimsuit, £20, prettylittlething.com

BEST FOR: Those who are smaller on top, slender and likely to be sitting still while wearing the swimsuit!

DENI’S VERDICT: This swimsuit is extremely risky as well as risqué. The plunge goes right down to the bellybutton or below depending where yours sits – it’s basically knickers with a thick padded halter-neck strap.

I found the design a little bizarre and not very flattering. The thick straps from knickers to neck do nothing to highlight a waist.

A bit too loose on top for windy Brighton beach – and at the same time too tight and covered on the bottom. An acquired taste

The knickers were very thick and large which made my legs look shorter and my bottom look less shapely. Also the leg holes on the size eight were very small, so only good for people with very skinny legs.

A bit too loose on top for windy Brighton beach – and at the same time too tight and covered on the bottom. An acquired taste.

MAGICAL MERMAID

RI Resort Lattice swimsuit, £35, River Island: Deni enlists the help of two lifeguards to model this daring design. This lattice number has it all going on at the back with fishnet strappy detailing – a great investment for summer if your best asset is a pert bottom

STYLE: RI Resort Lattice swimsuit, £35, River Island

BEST FOR: Athletic ladies with a good, balanced figure who want to show it off.

DENI’S VERDICT: This lattice number has it all going on at the back with fishnet strappy detailing – a great investment for summer if your best asset is a pert bottom.

The soft green hue is classy, grown-up and dazzling. A sure-fire sailor-heart breaker. also flatters a slim waistline with the curved front panel and a good bust with a rhinestone harness front

It also flatters a slim waistline with the curved front panel and a good bust with a rhinestone harness front.

The soft green hue is classy, grown-up and dazzling. A sure-fire sailor heart-breaker.

TANGO FUN

Orange Strap Detail swimsuit, £25, missguided.co.uk: Deni hits the crazy golf course in this number. This swimsuit is strappy and revealing without being too risqué – a tough balance to strike

STYLE: Orange Strap Detail swimsuit, £25, missguided.co.uk

BEST FOR: Young and fun girls who like to stand out and make a statement. Leaders of the fashion pack.

DENI’S VERDICT: This swimsuit is strappy and revealing without being too risqué – a tough balance to strike.

Cheeky cut-out details flash some flesh without being offensive, and the suit manages to hold everything in place with ease

Cheeky cut-out details flash some flesh without being offensive, and the suit manages to hold everything in place with ease.

You won’t get much oomph in this number as there’s no padding or underwire.

The colour and design would only appeal to a specific type of woman – but you can’t please everyone. It gets the thumbs up from me. Perfect for a pool party with friends.

CORAL PEEK-A-BOO

Fin bikini, £15-£65 depending on subscription, Fabletics: The design idea is cute but it hasn’t been executed that well – the triangle top ruches up in the middle which looks and feels a little strange

STYLE: Fin bikini, £15-£65 depending on subscription, Fabletics

BEST FOR: Ladies who like to experiment with fashion, who want to try something bold and new and like to show a little more than necessary.

Athletic figures would suit this most – as seen on Kate Hudson.

DENI’S VERDICT: This bikini was a little ill-fitting up top unfortunately.

Denis said: ‘I do like the colour and the idea behind it though. Just make sure you’ve had a god wax before wearing it’

The design idea is cute but it hasn’t been executed that well – the triangle top ruches up in the middle which looks and feels a little strange.

I do like the colour and the idea behind it though. Just make sure you’ve had a god wax before wearing it.

MONOCHROME DREAM

Khongboon at moonandbeach.com: The monochrome pattern is bold, sporty and luxe all at once. I love the strappy details, which make it a little sexier but you could still wear it to a family pool party

STYLE: Khongboon at moonandbeach.com

BEST FOR: Pert firm bottoms would rock the Brazilian cut bottoms on the two-piece. Loved by fitness guru Emily Skye and Israeli soacialite Hofit Golan, it’s definitely a toned girl’s best friend.

DENI’S VERDICT: The monochrome pattern is bold, sporty and luxe all at once. I love the strappy details, which make it a little sexier but you could still wear it to a family pool party.

There’s a lot of support up top and decent coverage on the bottom, so really it would suit most figures. Israeli socialite Hofit Golan wore a similar design from the same range when she holidayed in the Maldives recently

There’s a lot of support up top and decent coverage on the bottom, so really it would suit most figures.

I absolutely loved this bikini and it gets top marks from me.

CLASSY AND RACY TWO-PIECE

Worn by Stephanie Pratt on Made In Chelsea, this number is certainly suited to classy Chelsea girls

STYLE: Cross Over Bikini Princeton Blue, £43.50, To Dive For

BEST FOR: Sporty girls who like to sex up their style a little poolside or at the beach.

DENI’S VERDICT: Worn by Stephanie Pratt on Made In Chelsea, this number is certainly suited to classy girls.

The hue is a classic cobalt with white accents, almost go-racer stripes making the sexy two-piece look sporty

The hue is a classic cobalt with white accents, almost go-racer stripes making the sexy two-piece look sporty.

The top is extremely wide cut meaning you need to be on tight nipple watch.

I love this bikini, it’s one of my favourites from the lot. I am an athletic girl and I do like to show off the results of my hard work in the gym in a classy, laid-back way. This bikini is perfect.

BOND GIRL BIKINI

This number is racy and innocent all at once thanks to the strappy details and pure colour. It’s very reminiscent of Ursula Andress with those seashells and is sure to turn heads

STYLE: Mojito Waffle Longline bikini top £16.80, and bottoms £9.80, Ann Summers

BEST FOR: Ladies with more up top who prefer their bikini to be supportive as well as sexy.

DENI’S VERDICT: This number is racy and innocent all at once thanks to the strappy details and pure colour. It’s very reminiscent of Ursula Andress with those seashells and is sure to turn heads.

I loved it but personally don’t need all that support so it’s not the perfect bikini for my body shape.

ANIMAL INSTINCTS ONE-PIECE

Deni poses with rock band the Slydigs who have recently supported The Who. ‘I would say it suits a modest to medium bust best – but ladies who are larger on top and want to show off their assets might also like it,’ she said of the one-piece

STYLE: Sahara Deep Halter One Piece in Gold, £157, Gottex at simplybeach.com

BEST FOR: Rock chicks with expensive taste. Denise Van Outen is a fan.

DENI’S VERDICT: This animal-print plunging neckline swimsuit is a rock chick’s best friend.

Deni’s ultra-glamorous leopard print swimsuit was first worn by Denise Van Outen, who showcased her age-defying body on Instagram

The suit itself is very flattering, shapely, feminine and very grown up while being a bit wild and sexy

I would say it suits a modest to medium bust best – but ladies who are larger on top and want to show off their assets might also like it. My only concern is the fabric is a little loose in the middle and it does part quite widely.

The suit itself is very flattering, shapely, feminine and very grown up while being a bit wild and sexy.

Love it very much. Ultra glamorous.

CLASSIC TEENY-TINY TRIANGLE BIKINI

This tiny two-piece is perfect for tanning – it’s the ideal teeny-tiny shape for minimal tan lines. Kate Bosworth dazzled in the same bikini when she holidayed in Hawaii this April

STYLE: St Thomas Rope Padded triangle bikini, £190, Heidi Klein

BEST FOR: Brave ladies who don’t require much support or material – such as Kate Bosworth who has been seen wearing the bikini.

DENI’S VERDICT: This tiny two-piece is perfect for tanning – it’s the ideal teeny-tiny shape for minimal tan lines.

The colour is simple and classic and goes with anything. 

Works very well if you want to go a little sexy this summer but stay away from bold colours, details and statements.

A timeless bikini.
