How the Elle does she do it? Model Macpherson, 51, clambers aboard her luxury super yacht in white string bikini... and still looks FLAWLESS

Clambering aboard a superyacht from a speedboat is a mammoth task in itself, let alone climbing up steep steps in a teeny tiny white bikini.

But Elle Macpherson made it look easy on Tuesday as she heaved herself onto her plush vessel, cruising through France's Saint Tropez while parading her washboard abs and incredible behind.

The 51-year-old model didn't seem to have a care in the world as she clung on to the metal poles and hooked herself up while her bikini bottoms slipped down slightly to reveal a hint of her derriere.

With her ample cleavage held firmly in place by the strings of her swimsuit, the beauty rocked her body from side-to-side as she reached out to the handsome deckhand for support.

Her long blonde locks were dripping wet following her early morning swim, while her eyes were shielded with a pair of dark over-sized shades.

Looking out into the distance and flashing a smile at onlookers, Elle - appropriately nicknamed The Body - appeared refreshed after her dip in the ocean.

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.

Or stick to bright white and shop our edit of similar styles below. With summer here it's time to get your beach look sorted.

After lunging from the yacht and pulling off the perfect dolphin dive earlier on, Elle was collected by a speedboat before it whizzed off towards the vessel so she could clamber back on board.

Hopping out of the sea and readjusting her bikini, the supermodel leaned on the driver and moved towards the leather seat before she stood bolt up right and took in the breathtaking views. 

Feeling the breeze against her skin, the Australian star flashed her tan lines as she bent over and dried off before she let out a little giggle and rejoined her friends and family on the luxury yacht.

The runway sensation has been enjoying an exotic tour of the global seas in recent days, having been spotted cruising through Monte Carlo, Monaco, over the weekend with her man Jeffrey.

The entrepreneurial businesswoman's marriage to Jeffrey, 45, is her second - she first tied the knot with Gilles Bensimon in 1986, though the pair would split three years later.

She has two children, 17-year-old Arpad and 12-year-old Aurelius, with a financier Arpad Busson, whom she began dating in 1996 and separated from in 2005.

Elle and Jeffrey began their relationship in 2009 and barring a six month break in 2012 have been together ever since, marrying in 2013, with the model becoming step-mother to his children.
