Retroshik: 20 legendary swimsuits from the movies

Girls in swimsuits broke into the cinema in the 1950s. According to the films of those years, you can trace not only the evolution of beach fashion, but also changes in public morality. If Brigitte Bardot in an open swimsuit for 1952 was a sensation, then ten years later the Bond girl Ursula Andress without a shadow of embarrassment attached a cold weapon to tiny bikinis.

By the 1980s, the appearance of attractive actresses in swimsuits in movies became a common phenomenon, and attention was paid more to costume design. For example, the half-naked Princess Leia in" Star Wars " won the audience with an unusual swimsuit design.

In Soviet cinema, the "bathing" revolution began closer to the 1960s. The film "Three plus Two" with Natalia Kustinskaya and Natalia Fateeva was released on the screens. Natalia Selezneva appeared in the" Adventures of Shurik " in a red set. In the 1970s, Natalia Gvozdikova tried on a monokini in the "Big Change". And in the 1980s, the beach boom began in the cinema at all. Tatiana Dogileva, Natalia Negoda and Lyudmila Gurchenko cut through the waves in bold (and sometimes incredibly funny) images.
