She was spotted body-boarding in Malibu last week.

But Lady Victoria Hervey swapped the Californian shore for exotic Barbados on Boxing Day, as she hit the beach in a tiny purple bikini.

The 40-year-old socialite flaunted her tanned and toned abs in the skimpy striped swimwear as she waded into the crystal-clear waters in Bridgetown, before jumping onto a jetski.

Beach babe: Lady Victoria Hervey, 40, hit the beach in a tiny purple bikini in Barbados on Monday

The blonde beauty looked every inch the beach babe in her lilac two-piece, which featured a stripy design and a lace trim.

Letting her swimwear do the talking, she accessorised simply with a gold disc necklace, a chunky watch and several bracelets.

Adding an edge to her beachy look, she wore her golden tresses swept back off her face in intricately styled boxer braids.

Shielding her peepers with white square-frame shades, the socialite appeared to go make-up free for the sun-soaked outing.

Lady Victoria - who is the daughter of the late 6th Marquess of Bristol - 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'.

Victoria, who lives alone in Hollywood with her adorable Norfolk terrier, D’Artagnan, recently admitted she would like to move back to the UK once she has children, so she can send them to public school there.

Speaking to The Telegraph in May, she admitted she was getting slightly ahead of herself planning for kids - but added that she was seeing someone. 

'There is someone that I like, but he won’t be around tonight.'

A bit of all white! She later covered up in a simple jersey T-shirt and thigh-skimming shorts 

A helping hand:Victoria showed off her taste for water-based activities as she climbed onto a jetski with ease 

Lady Victoria previously had relationships with Danish restaurateur Mogens Tholstrup and internet mogul Seb Bishop. 

She added: 'It would be nice to settle down - I’m waiting to see what happens. If I think about it too much it won’t happen. 

'My sister [Lady Isabella Hervey] has just had a baby so I’m an aunt. Of course, that has made me even more broody. 

'I have D’Artagnan as my surrogate son but I need a real one.'
