Munn has a long list: "Sunscreen -- any kind. I'm not really picky about the sunscreen. Plus, a pair of sunglasses and a hat. And snack! I like to carry different snacks in lots of ziplocks." She added, "Lots of books and magazines, and a charger for my phone. You always use your phone at the beach and when you go back, the battery is always dead." So true!

Morrison likes to make sure she protects her alabaster complexion. "I'm so fair that I have lots of sunblock and hats. I'm always like a grandma covered up at the beach. I'm like, 'Really! There is a cute bathing suit under all of these layers that are keeping me out of the sun,'" she joked.

"Sunblock. It's cool to take care of your skin," Kemper told us. She added, "I'm too embarrassed to tell you the book I'm reading, but I always bring a book. It's actually not 50 Shades of Gray. I haven't read that yet, but I need to. I'll read that one privately."

The How I Met Your Mother star packs for two: "A lot of sunscreen. And I have a daughter, so sand pails and shovels and snacks and water. It's a heavy beach bag -- more like a backpack."

"I usually have a towel and mascara, because I feel you should never go anywhere without mascara. I also bring shimmery oil like the Nars one, because if I'm going to be at the beach, I might as well go for it. If I'm not using that, I'll use Maui Babe, which actually has coffee in it to enhance the tan," the Real Housewives star told us. "My beach bag is pretty big. It's actually a carry-on!"

"Music and a good book," she said. And her trick to the perfect tan? "Banana Boat dry tanning oil SPF 4. If you reapply it every fifteen minutes, it gives you the best tan!"

"Two things and I'm set: My iPod and an SPF 50 from Coppertone. That's how I tan," she told us.

    Met Gala: The best theme dressing throughout the years

    Each spring we look forward to the opulent red-carpet display that takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala and the dresses that will grace its steps the first Monday in May. The evening is never short on grandeur, but there’s always a few artistically minded guests who go the extra mile and dress with the year’s exhibit wholeheartedly in mind—donning a look that not only impresses but more than tips its perfectly considered hat to the theme. From Hamish Bowles’ tartan tuxedo in homage to Alexander McQueen to Kate Moss in a gold-lame Marc Jacobs frock and matching turban embodying the concept of Model as Muse, we pay tribute to those who creatively and elegantly elevate the dress code.
