Celebrities often aren't afraid to show off their best swimwear snaps, whether they're enjoying beach trips, hot tubs or relaxing poolside.

Jennifer Lopez, 54, Salma Hayek, 57, and Goldie Hawn, 78, are just some of the stars who have proven that your confidence in bikinis and swimsuits doesn't have to decline with age – as that classic saying goes, "Age is just a number!"

If khaki plunging one-pieces weren't already on your holiday wardrobe wish list, they are now thanks to Catherine Zeta-Jones. The Wednesday actress channelled European glamour, teaming her swimsuit with an oversized hat and sunglasses. Simply layer a floaty maxi dress over the top for a sunset Aperol Spritz trip and you've got the perfect beach daywear.

Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer's colourful boho bikini will have you dreaming of warmer climates. Giving us a lesson in mix-and-match swimwear, the model highlighted her toned abs in a blue patterned bikini top with red and yellow detailing which contrasted with her red bottoms.

With an enviable collection of swimwear to choose from, Jennifer Lopez always looks incredible. We love it when she ditches her glam squad for an au naturel look, as she did in this snap which shows the Maid in Manhatten actress with her hair styled into an effortlessly messy bun alongside her ultra-high-waist white one-piece.

Soaking up the sun, Jennifer Aniston looked every inch the beach babe in her mismatched black and Barbie pink bikini, which perfectly offset her tan. Add a straw hat to shield your eyes from the sun and voila!

Jane Seymour

Jane Seymour was a lady in red as she posed up a storm on a boat, showcasing her long legs in a flattering swimsuit. The lace-up plunging neckline and bold pop of colour are sure to turn heads.

Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox wasted no time having a hot tub photoshoot with David Beckham – especially since they were wearing matching black attire. While only the top of the Friends actress' triangle bikini is visible, the thin tie straps paired with a chunky gold necklace and smokey eyes make for a very chic ensemble.

Goldie Hawn

Move over LBD, there's a new fashion staple on the block – the little black swimsuit. Goldie Hawn chose thin straps and a straight neckline for hers as she soaked up the sun on a beach day with her son.

Lisa Rinna
