There's no way you can tell us this photo of Lupita Nyong'o frolicking at the beach doesn't make you want to pack up your bags and get to an island as soon as possible. Of course, the gorgeous beach background of the Dominican Republic gives you immediate wanderlust, but let's give the Mexican-born actress's red one-piece swimsuit the credit it deserves: it makes her look happy, healthy and like a total beach babe — and who doesn't want that?

The one-piece's scarlet shade makes Lupita's gorgeous skin the center of attention — and will work on any skin tone — but it's the details of this Thapelo Paris Karlie Swimsuit ($275) that makes it interesting. Its low-cut back and sides highlight the actress's waist with two gold buttons one each side adding a playful touch.
