She is famed for her scanty outfits and fearless exposure of her figure. 

And Lady Victoria Hervey made sure she stuck to her tried and tested style as she soaked up the sun during a trip to Palm Springs in California on Friday.

The 40-year-old model and IT girl sported a barely-there cut-out swimming costume which came unfastened as she emerged from the pool - leading to an eye-popping exposure of her entire chest.

Oh dear! Cheeky! Lady Victoria Hervey made sure she stuck to the stuff she knows as she soaked up the sun during a trip to Palm Springs in California on Friday

Victoria, who is the daughter of the late 6th Marquess of Bristol, has never been shy of showing off her physique - often storming red carpets in ensembles which leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. 

Friday's sun worshiping session was no exception as she sizzled poolside in her chic one-piece - which shockingly came unfastened as she emerged from the cool water.

Enjoying a dip, she pulled her best Bond girl impression as she emerged from the pool - although things went very wrong when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction.

The belted swimsuit fell from Victoria's shoulders and exposed her entire bare chest - showing perky assets which far defied her age.

With her bleach blonde tresses worn in a chic bouncy blow-dry, Victoria seemed to have no intentions of dipping into the water fully, to ensure she kept her tresses perfectly coiffed. 

Despite the mishap, she was later seen laughing while reclining on a sun lounger and peeling on a chic pair of oversized sunglasses.

Lady Victoria, who is known for her glamorous sense of style, recently told the Daily Mail's Sebastian Shakespeare that English women struggle to be sexy.

'Women in London are too conservative and don’t have the courage to wear sexy outfits. It’s an English thing,' she said, 'I grew up in the South of France so I have a much more international approach.' 

Victoria added that she still leads by example, sporting an array of sheer ensembles at parties recently, she said: 'It’s empowering to dress provocatively'.

Her body confidence put her in good stead during her modelling career, which saw her work for the likes of Christian Dior.
