She’s been enjoying an extended break on the ritzy French-Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy since November.

And Victoria Silvstedt, 46, had all eyes on her as she frolicked on the island’s idyllic shores in a flattering frilly patterned bikini on Sunday.

The Swedish model wowed as she stepped out in the two-piece, which featured an overlay at the bosom and along the waistline of her high-cut tie bottoms.

Looking tanned and toned, she wore her bleach blonde locks in dramatic curls from a bouncy blowdry, while oversized shades shielded her eyes from the sunshine. 

She added an extra touch to pizzazz to her barely-there ensemble by accessorising with a delicate gold necklace and chunky bracelets.

Wanting to stay connected to the rest of the world, she tightly clutched her smartphone as she waded into the clear blue sea for a quick splash about.

Victoria appeared to be in her element as she  enjoyed her solo moment on the beach, at a time of year when many celebrities flock to the island.

As well as frequenting St Tropez and Italy, the media personality also spends a large part of her year in tropical St Barts.

The blonde bombshell has been lapping up the sunshine there since November, with many celebrities jetting to the Caribbean to ring in the New Year.

Like a number of other stars, Victoria is among the set who faithfully travel to St Barts annually to ring in the New Year in glamorous style.

She has enjoyed a lengthy stint in the spotlight after being chosen to represent her country in the Miss World pageant in 1993.

After her pageant days, the Scandinavian stunner was spotted by Hugh Hefner and went on to become a Playboy Playmate. 

Since her career rocketed, Victoria has modelled for some of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, including Chanel, Dior and Valentino.

Despite the glamorous veneer to her lifestyle as a young model, she revealed there was a dark side in a recent interview with Female First.

Victoria said: ‘I started very young to model in Paris when I was 18, I remember like starving myself to fit into the clothes and it was an amazing experience but you know I did shows for Valentino, Chanel, so it was really prestigious.’
