Following her announcement that she was going to design clothes for a British children’s charity, Gwyneth Paltrow is at it again. This time, the 36-year-old star has created a bikini as part of the Lilly Pulitzer Colorful Cause: Celebrity Designer Program, supporting The EB Medical Research Foundation.

As part of Lily Pulitzer’s 50th anniversary, the company has joined with nine actresses to celebrate style and purpose.
