Steal Elle's holiday style in a bikini by Melissa Odabash

Another day another bikini from 'The Body' aka Elle Macpherson.

And not just any bikini either. The supermodel has once again chosen a two piece by Melissa Odabash, the luxury swimwear label she's turned to every day of her holiday so far. But we can't blame her for sticking to this brand.

Melissa Odabash was a swimwear model herself before she turned to designing so she has plenty of experience and knows what makes a good bikini or swimsuit. In fact her creations have often been described as 'the Ferraris of the swimwear world' so you can see why Elle is such a fan.

This white bikini is called the 'Brazil' thanks in part to its skimpily cut bottoms and of course it looks heavenly on the 51 year old. 51? Surely not. Sadly the white colorway has sold out but click (right) to buy the pretty printed version instead.
