Bikini-clad Michelle Rodriguez swaps the party circuit for the pool as she takes a well-earned break in Cannes  

She’s been enjoying the very best of the relentless party circuit, but Michelle Rodriguez appeared to take advantage of a rare break in proceedings at the 68th annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday morning.

The 36-year-old actress stripped down to a skimpy white bikini for a relaxing dip in the outdoor pool at Hotel du Cap Eden Roc – where she was joined by a small group of female friends.

Michelle, best known for her recurring role in the hugely popular Fast & Furious movie franchise, looked predictably relaxed while taking in the breath-taking views across the sweeping Mediterranean coastline.

The star was her usual laid-back, low-maintenance self, with her hair pulled back in a ponytail and no make-up on.

With her arms crossed over the edge of the pool, she chatted to her group of pals before toweling off and making her way inside.

Michelle was taking it easy following a glamorous appearance at the annual amFAR Gala at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap D'Antibes.

Look white hot in Michelle's ViX bikini

On Monday night Cannes regular Michelle Rodriguez stunned in an elegant, custom made Blumarine gown as she attended the Chopard Gold Party- but the glitz and glam doesn't just finish on the red carpet. Ohhh no.

Following the after parties, and the after after parties, the A-list elite like to recuperate on mega yachts, still ensuring they look a million bucks of course.

Here Michelle is looking scorching in a white hot two piece which is from ViX. We love ViX for their flattering cuts, the halter neck tops support whilst the thick bottom straps flatter the hips. Gold hardware lends a glamorous touch to this style.

A white bikini is a vacation must as it'll always show off sun kissed skin, so why not click right to Bloomingdales to get yours now? Or, make a style splash for less with our edit below.

The actress looked stunning in a fitted Romona Keveza dress with a sweetheart neckline after travelling the short 30 minute journey to the venue from Cannes. 

The brunette is alleged to have narrowly avoided a run-in with her ex-girlfriend Cara Delevingne the previous evening.

The stars were both in attendance at THE de Grisogono dinner, with Cara bringing new partner St. Vincent along as her date.

Determined not to make a big deal out of things, model-of-the-moment Cara reportedly chose to leave after spotting Michelle.

A source told MailOnline: 'Cara and Annie (St. Vincent) were sat with a group of friends watching Robin Thicke's performance, when Michelle walked in and immediately clocked them.

'She definitely didn't look too happy to see them, but Cara didn't want her to cause a scene and decided to leave.' 

Ready to go: She was later seen toweling off after climbing out of the outdoor pool
