Kimberley Garner flaunts her peachy posterior in a purple thong bikini as she tops up her tan in St Tropez

She went from a reality star to swimwear designer. 

And Kimberley Garner proved to be her own best advert as she slipped into a lavender thong bikini for a day out at Pampelonne beach in St Tropez. 

Strolling across the sand on Thursday, the 27-year-old former Made In Chelsea star turned heads as she made her way onto a speed boat with friends.

Pretty in purple:Kimberley Garner proved to be her own best advert as she slipped into a lavender thong bikini for a day out at Pampelonne beach in St Tropez.

Thong cut in design, the bikini offered a look at her enviably peachy posterior and tanned and toned pins. 

The bralet style top showed off her perky bust and impeccably taut stomach, with the lilac colour complementing her golden complexion. 

Wearing her honey hued locks loose and tousled, the blonde bombshell went make-up free to show off her natural beauty.

Copy Kimberley with a lavender bikini set from Kimberley London

We're forever living vicariously through Kimberley Garner's Instagram feed (so. many. holidays!) and this year, on our own transatlantic jaunts, we intend on copying her summer style. Most notably, that stellar swimwear.

Kimberley has her own bikini brand - Kimberley London - so it's hardly surprising that the former Made In Chelsea star is regularly seen donning her own designs. This week the socialite and designer was spotted wearing the 'Mystique' bikini, available to pre-order now via the link on your right!

Costing £130, this bikini is a bit pricier than your standard swimwear but its classic design and pretty colour means that it will be a timeless addition to your holiday wardrobe.

The socialite has been notoriously tight-lipped about the identity of her previous long-term boyfriend, who was often seen with her in west London.

Speaking to The Sun during her appearance at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, she said: 'It was a great relationship. I’d love to meet someone with a great personality — it’s all about the personality for me.'

Kimberley joined Made In Chelsea in March 2012 before departing the following November, as she featured in some extremely tumultuous storylines.

She dated Richard Dinan on the show, with the businessman whisking Kimberley off on romantic dates and later a holiday to Italy.
