The Wildest Swimwear From Miami Swim Week 2016

Can we even call them swimwear at this point?

Ah, Miami Swim Week, home to gaggles of bronzed, oiled-up models showcasing the latest and greatest in swimwear.

Well, kind of.

Here's the thing: a lot of what comes down the Miami Swim Week runway can hardly be considered swimwear (nude bodysuits a la Britney Spears "Toxic" video, anyone?), but that's exactly why we love the week-long extravaganza. After all, what fun is it seeing your average old bikinis and swim trunks coming down a runway if they're not over-the-top and outrageous?

So, for your viewing pleasure, we've roundup up the wildest swim looks to grace the runway this season.

You're welcome.

Not gonna lie, this would actually make a really nice red carpet gown (so long as it had the actual gown attached).
