Party in the city where the heat is on. Welcome to Miami!

Please excuse us for that old school allusion, but we can't talk about Miami Swim Week without referencing Will Smith's 1997 hit song.

OK, now that's out of our system, let's discuss swimsuits!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim has just about wrapped, and we're loving all the looks that heated up the runway down in South Beach.

First up, the award for best props definitely goes to swimwear brand Lolli. They sent models down the runway topless…carrying pineapples in front of their boobs!

Pineapples aside, we also liked Lolli's bikinis—particularly a pink and nude hi-waisted style. So flattering.

And while there were some tummy-concealing two-pieces, Miami Swim Week definitely didn't lack in the skimpy bikini department.

One of our favorites? The rainbow-hued, snakeskin printed bikini from the Dolores Cortes show. Extra glamorous. We also loved the hippie-chic crochet and fringe look from Luli Fama.

And we noticed plenty of sexy details—like mesh paneling on the metallic purple bottoms from the We Are Handsome runway show. Another huge trend? Cutout detailing and one-pieces.

One of our favorite one-pieces by far was definitely from the lively Wildfox Couture show. That show was chock-full of vibrant and fun looks, and we adore the candy-colored striped one-piece pictured above. The belt is what makes it so incredibly flattering. Perfection.

Other hits? A simple but sizzling black one-piece from the Mikoh show and an insanely awesome, tropical one-piece from Mara Hoffman. How sweet are those two parrots on the front of the suit? Obsessed.
