Your beach or poolside cover-up is often just as important as your bikini itself — when it comes to heading from the water to the street (or the bar), you want something stylish and sexy, without being too over the top. Some of the best, most effective cover-ups can be as simple as slipping on a floaty dress or romper or throwing on a printed tunic and sandals. To help you choose a look, we've styled up five supercute cover-up and sandal combos that are bound to have you looking your best while on the beach. Click through to see them all now.

Happy Friday — you know what that means: it's time to announce our CelebStyle top stars of the week! This week's standouts worked eye-catching color combos, sassy sequins, and more sultry styles, and we just can't get enough. Zoe Saldana showcased her inner rocker by working leather shorts with caged Christian Louboutin sandals, Jessica Alba channeled her sexy side in a white cutout Narciso Rodriguez number, and Beyoncé went all out in a colorful zigzag Carven blouse and hot-pink trousers. See all of our fashion-forward favorites, why they were crowned top stars, and how you can steal their looks for yourself.

Our Summer prep kicked off with the best celebrity triangle bikinis, and now we're moving on to the top strapless bandeau bikinis worn by the stars. Celebrities including Kate Bosworth, Whitney Port, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Eva Longoria, and many more are into this style of swimwear — it even helps them avoid annoying tan lines. If you, too, love strapless and bandeau bikinis, get a closer look at all the stars who have worn the style, then shop the looks for yourself.

This style crowd is equal parts party-chic and street-styled cool. With a perfect LBD from Kate Bosworth at NYC's Whitney Art Party, along with Jessica Hart and Olivia Palermo both showing off their insanely awesome casual wear, the week shaped up to be a seriously stylish one (even long after the CFDA Awards wrapped).
