Nicole looked beautiful with her hair swept over on one side with one hand tangled in her tresses to prop up her head in a relaxed fashion.

The singer rested her other hand on her hip as she puffed out her curves with both legs buried in the wet sand.

The brunette recently announced that she has signed up for the television adaptation of Dirty Dancing, in which she will play Penny.

Confirming reports via Twitter, Nicole said she was 'so excited' to join the cast of the 1987 adaptation, which already features Abigail Breslin and Debra Messing.

The star is said to be reinventing the role of Johnny's original dance partner, who was originally played by Cynthia Rhodes almost three decades ago.

The saucy holiday snaps come as her former lover, Formula 1 champ Lewis Hamilton, 31, has revealed he is writing music about her as he forges a career in the industry.

Nicole and Lewis were together on and off for seven years, with both parties said to be heartbroken when they went their separate ways in May last year.

The motor-racing champ was later linked to Kendall Jenner after they partied together in Barbados, as well as pop singer Rihanna.

But no romance was ever confirmed. 

Lewis told The Mirror about his music: 'I’ve been inspired by life – the easy stuff like relationships, that’s always easy to talk about, and partying.'

But he says there will be nothing negative in there about his former flame. 

He told the publication: 'It’s not really break-ups or none of that emotional stuff, it’s usually fun stuff. It’s the good stuff in relationships. It’s usually about the excitement when you’re in something new.'

He added that while he has high hopes for breaking the charts, the music won't be out anytime soon. 

'I wish I could release my album this year, but right now I’m focused on working on getting the fourth championship.'
