She quite far along in her pregnancy.

And on Monday Candice Swanepoel opted to go nearly topless for an Instagram photo.

In the snap, the model poses in nothing but an unbuttoned white shirt and white cotton panties.

However it was just the day before that the blonde was seen relaxing in a religious environment.   

The heavily pregnant catwalk queen looked like she was having a great time as she relaxed on the reclining Buddha in the black and white image.

Joking about how tired she feels at the moment, the 27-year-old South African beauty captioned the arresting image: 'My mood all day everyday. Zzz #ohhhmmm #8monthspregnant.'

The Afrikaner is expecting her first child with her Brazillian-born model fiance Hermann Nicoli, who she started dating in 2006.

Candice, who is famed for her perfect catwalk figure, certainly has plenty of reasons to be happy after it emerged she is the eighth highest earning model in the world.

According to Forbes she made $7 million, up by $2 million on last year, thanks to her status as a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Candace has been modeling for Victoria's Secret since 2007 and became an Angel in 2010.

Three years later she was chosen to wear the Fantasy Bra for the 2013 Fashion Show.

The bra featured 4,200 precious gems, including rubies, diamonds and yellow sapphires set in 18 carat gold with a 52-carat ruby at the center.
