I thought this picture might interest you.

Paris Hilton, July 24

Obviously, that’s Paris Hilton in a leopard print cutout swimsuit. But check out how she “tried” to cover up. Yep, with a tiny scarf around her hips. Honestly, it looks more like an accessory rather than a functional cover-up. But hey, let’s not complain; she looks good after all.

If you have a body like Paris, I think you might be able to rock this kind of look on the beach. I wouldn’t recommend this on anyone busty though. To achieve the look, these are the essentials:

In case you’re wondering, the Ed Hardy scarf is quite long. It measures 12-inches by 88-inches. Here’s a different view:
