Let's Take a Dip...

{Above: Elie Saab's infinity pool at his home in Beirut}

...in one of these swimming pools from Elle Decor's latest feature. Grab your towell and air mattress and let's go...

While the rest of us are truckin' it to the local country club or community center, Hollywood's elite can practice their backstroke in the comfort of their own luxurious swimming holes.

Want to see where the stars cool off? Me too. Let's take a look:



Fashion designer Cynthia Rowley created this beautiful escape in the backyard of her Manhattan townhouse. Long and narrow, the pool is the perfect size and shape for Rowley and her family to relax after a hard day of designing amazing clothes : )


Above, the modernist pool design of Coach President Reed Krakoff's beach retreat comes complete with a pool house.


This was my second favorite, (we'll get to my favorite-favorite momentarily.) It belongs to Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor and I LOVE IT. With its heavy Spanish and Middle Eastern style influences, this outdoor oasis is fit for a king...or a king of comedy.


Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo wanted her pool to look like something straight out of a Mediterranean postcard. I think she nailed it.



And now, my favorite. Of course it would belong to none other than the très fabuleux clothing designer, Roberto Cavalli. Notice those animal print lounge cushions? To die for, I tell you.

Want to see more star-worthy swimming holes? Click on over to Elle Decor and check out the feature for yourself.

Which of the pools would you most like to take a dip in?

Be blessed, lovelies-
