Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara And More In The Best (And Worst) Beachwear Of The Week (PHOTOS)

This week the celebs weren't out and about at their usual haunts, instead they were all about catching some rays at the beach. Between Cabo, Miami and St. Barts, the sandy shores were littered with A-listers trying to get a little R & R before the holiday season is officially over. Although the sartorial rules at the beach are a little more lax, some do still apply (trucker hats are never okay, Nicole Minetti).

Although some celebs landed themselves on the worst dressed list, others opted for sexy cutout bathing suits, adorable fedoras and fun sunglasses proving you can look just as good on the sand as you can on the red carpet. Take a look at the best and worst beach looks of the week.

• BEST: Olivia Palermo

  It's no surprise that the lady who has amazing street style <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/30/olivia-palermo-photos_n_2384651.html">also has amazing beach style</a>. Former reality star and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/10/olivia-palermo-website_n_1003876.html">blogger Olivia Palmero</a> looked chic in an army green coverup and a pair of oversized sunnies. Her hot <a href="http://videos.huffingtonpost.com/entertainment/olivia-palermo-and-johannes-huebls-steamy-beach-love-516929776">bf Johannes Huebl </a>didn't look half bad himself in a monochromatic look. This couple is sartorial gold. St. Barts, December 30th Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

• WORST: Nicole Minetti

  We have to admit it, Italian model <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2256474/Nicole-Minetti-Berlusconis-ex-lover-frolics-beach-Miami--boyfriend-prepares-political-battle.html">Nicole Minetti</a>'s coverup is cute, but what is going on up top? A trucker hat and reflective sunglasses, really? Her ensemble is a little too reminiscent of "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/05/waynes-world-on-snl-mike-_n_819187.html">Wayne's World</a>" for our taste.

• BEST: Naomi Watts

  This <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/21/naomi-watts-impossible_n_2346016.html">44-year-old mama</a> looks hot in a green full-piece bathing suit that fits her like a glove. Her pink and white sarong add the perfect pop of color, and although we aren't always a fan of jewelry at the beach, Watts' simple gold necklace really jazzes up the ensemble. And who looks bad in aviators? St. Barts, December 31st Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

• WORST: Victoria Silvstedt

  Swedish model <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Silvstedt">Victoria Silvstedt </a>may be in a pretty appliqu? bikini, but we're too busy wondering if this suit is going to cause one <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/31/wardrobe-malfunctions-2012-photos-anne-hathaway-miley-cyrus_n_2387830.html">major wardrobe malfunction</a>.

• BEST: Sofia Vergara

  <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/one-piece-swimsuits?page=8">Full pieces can often be more sexy</a> than a bikini, and actress <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/25/sofia-vergaras-dress-short-photos_n_2016423.html">Sofia Vergara</a> proves this point. Her black bathing suit with back cut outs highlights her amazing figure, while her bright blue skirt is amazing against her skin tone. Miami, January 2nd Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

• WORST: Josie Goldberg

  If we forget about the unflattering cut of this monokini on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2988820/">the reality star</a>, we're still having issues. Are hoop earrings and brass knuckles really necessary at the beach? And easy on the makeup or else your face will come right off in the water. Miami, December 31st Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

• BEST: Jessica Alba

  Adorable romper, check. Oversized sunnies, check. Casual beach scarf, check. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/jessica-alba-dress-fashion-week_n_1642704.html">Alba</a> nails it again. Cabo, January 3rd Photo Credit: Fame Flynet

• WORST: Rachel Zoe

  It appears as though the Wicked Witch of the West has landed in ... St. Barts? Although we usually l<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/rachel-zoe-2012-photo_n_2050864.html">ove stylist Rachel Zoe'</a>s black on black-on-black ensembles, the beach is a place for color, and dare we say it, a little skin too?
