Pass The SPF: Leading Ladies Least Likely To Hit The Beach This Summer

Posted by , on June 9, 2012 at 11:00 am

Can you really imagine Rooney Mara donning a bikini and holding a frozen drink? 

Carey Mulligan is much more suited for the English countryside than the beaches of Ibiza. 

Mia Wasikowska, while stunning, clearly reaches for the highest SPF possible when it comes to sunscreen. 

Michelle Williams and the Hamptons are two things that just do not go together. 

Julianne Moore clearly prefers the company of a good book and umbrella to a volleyball and sarong. 

The chic Dita Von Teese never ceases to amaze -- but always in a dramatic gown and sky-high Louboutins. 

Maggie Gyllenhaal is way more Brooklyn than beachy. 

Keira Knightley is one Brit who will pass on beach blanket bingo. 

Evan Rachel Wood dated Marilyn Manson, who is basically a vampire. So, enough said. 

Harvard graduate Natalie Portman seems a bit too intellectual for the beach.

Last week, we were chatting about the ultimate “beach” celebrities. You know, those ones who just have the ultimate beach look — awesome wavy hair, perpetually tan skin and that overall quality about them that just screams, “I go on vacation to Cabo three times a year!” Case in point: Jennifer Aniston, Chelsea Handler and LeAnn Rimes (who seems to have some rule that she can only be shot by paparazzi when she’s in a bikini).

Anyway, it was only natural that we immediately had to start talking about the ultimate “non-beach” celebrities. Don’t take this the wrong way — these ladies are more than bikini-ready. In fact, these are some of the most gorgeous starlets in the world. But there’s just something about them. We all have those friends who would prefer to lounge in front of an air conditioner reading Proust (or Fifty Shades of Grey) than let the sun’s dangerous rays hit their precious skin.

Since the weekend is here and half of our team are enjoying themselves under the clear blue skies (that are supposed to erupt in thunder at any minute), we have compiled a gallery of the least likely leading ladies you’ll see hitting the beach this summer. Click through and enjoy!

      This article makes me so so happy. I am not longer allowed to get a mean tan due to my melasma problem so when I am down on myself for being so pale in the summer, it’s nice to see articles featuring beautiful and PALE leading ladies!
