Micheline Bernardini wearing the first bikini

Louis Réard to model the first modern-day bikini on July 5, 1946 at Piscine Molitor in Paris.
Réard could not find a model who would dare to wear his design. He ended up hiring Bernardini, a 19 year old nude dancer from the Casino de Paris as his model.
