I NEEEEEEEEEEED this bikini!

December 4, 2007 1:20 PM

I switched on the TV one day last week and happened to catch a bit of The Biggest Loser. Ever since, I have been obsessing over this pink bikini.

This was in the 5th episode of the current season. Does anyone recognise this bikini? Seen something similar?

I copied the pic linked to above onto my PDA and showed it to a salesgirl in a swimwear shop, and she said she'd not seen anything like it and it may not even be available here in Australia.

I prefer to buy clothes from a shop where I can actually go try stuff on first, but if I could find that particular bikini online, I'd be ecstatic.

I love that ThePinkSuperhero has favorited a post about a pink bikini! But we can't see enough detail in the link to do a search Goshling.

(where's EssexJan when you need her? Now that's a woman who can do any kind of clothing search!)

I remember a post a while back about a website where one could go to buy, say, the pants Joey on Friends was wearing on Episode #27, The One With The Awesome Pants.

Sorry I can't be more help but perhaps you can search the archives for that website, if it still exists.

I emailed [e-mail]. *fingers crossed*

I found this site while looking for you that will make any bikini based off photo or description. Bonus, they are in Australia. Custom bikini making info is under company info at the top.

I'll keep looking but that might be a good alternative if no one can find it.

If you can get a full length recording of the show, the end credits probably list the clothing suppliers for the show (in a very fast scrolling tiny typeface, admittedly).

Does it have to be pink? It reminds me very much of the bikini Ursula Andress wore in that Bond movie (Dr No), so I used that as a search criteria and found this one at Victoria's Secret. The reason I think it's similar is the band under the breasts, and the band across the hips.

A friend's website : SeenOn! carries merchandise from The Biggest Loser. I can't find the pink bikini. Also, consider sending SeenOn! an e-mail. They work directly with the production companies which produce the shows.

Thanks for all the answers so far everyone!

I love Ursula's bikini in Dr. No, that's the style this bikini reminded me of.

The Victoria's Secret one looks interesting, especially in purple, however I'm a bit dubious about Victoria's Secret as I've heard the quality isn't that good.

I've emailed SeenOn!

I also emailed Jillian Michaels website a few days ago, which was useless, especially since it wasn't even her wearing it. Thanks for getting the right trainer, Ambrosia Voyeur!

VampBikinis don't appear to be taking custom orders at the moment, but I'll check out what they do have.

Thanks all!

Similar, though not pink.

My Google-fu has revealed that the sports stylist on the show is Krystal Debord, who can be contacted at krystal AT krystaldebord.com (replace AT with @, of course).

The swimsuit in the photo is striped, and I can't tell if the non-pink stripes are red or some darker pink. I did manage to find this suit, which has a nearly identical cut, just different colors. Still looking!

Try emailing the show's producers. It's almost certainly a product placement so they probably have a form letter ready to go with all the details.

I'm pretty sure it's these bottoms by Vix with a halter top and not a bikini. Same pink and white and Vix is very popular in LA as high end fashion swimwear.

Yes! The suit I found was by Vix, too. So we have the top located, just in the wrong colors, and that is definitely the bottom. Looks like the non-pink is certainly red.

Going on the Vix tip, I did some searching for Australian websites, and I think this is your suit. It's a lighter pink, but I'm pretty sure it's the right style. So if you want to look further it looks like you'd need to look for "Hermanny by VIX" and "Venice Buckle Bikini Set".

Found it!

Impressive essexjan, that is def. it -- even on sale! =D

Oh and incase you can't order it from that site (looks like they are running out of stock)

You should easily find it on google with the name: it's a Vix Swimwear Ju Sofia Bikini

More sizes here, but no idea if they are actually in stock or just an outdated page that they didn't take down. You may want to contact their customer service.

And there's also this Dr. No bikini set that comes in several colors (none of them pink. or orange.)
