Kelly Dodd has a swimsuit for every mood and situation. She turns to a leopard print one-piece when she's feeling feisty, and then there's her teeny, tiny blue-and-white bikini with a matching coverup that's perfect for European vacays — or her classic ab-revealing black bikini that can fit in anywhere.

So of course The Real Housewives of Orange County beauty has the perfect swimsuit for a beach date. Over the weekend, Kelly posted some couple selfies with boyfriend Rick Leventhal from beachside Newport bar The Beachcomber Cafe. Kelly turned her black mesh swimsuit into a top, looking incredible in this suit with daring cut-outs that fit her like a glove. It looks like she has on Norma Kamali's $265 "Snake Mesh Mio" suit (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills actress Lisa Rinna is also a fan of Norma Kamali's high-cut suits).

"I’m so happy!! Unbelievably happy so glad you get to see Newport Beach @rickleventhal," Kelly wrote, tagging Rick, who's traveled with her to five countries and showered her with gifts from Louis Vuitton since they started dating. 

One-shouldered black mesh suits with cut-outs are so hot right now: Check out The Real Housewives of Dallas fashionista Kameron Westcott's very similar swimsuit, which she scored at Target.
