She's officially a single woman, after settling her divorce from David Foster in May.

And Yolanda Hadid is preparing to ring in Christmas solo, decorating her tree by herself on Sunday.

Sharing a picture to Instagram, she wrote: 'New Life, New Tree, Same Elf just a little wiser......... #NewBeginnings #MuchGratitude #4MyBlessings'.

'#MuchGratitude #4MyBlessings': Yolanda Hadid posted an Instagram photo Sunday in which she decorated her Christmas tree

Wearing a Santa hat with a cheerfully crimson sweater, Yolanda stood at the top of a stepladder and popped one of her legs out.

The 53-year-old modeled a skintight pair of jeans and colorfully striped socks, reaching over to adjust some of the Christmas tree ornamentation. A sofa in front had a pricey Hermes blanket casually thrown on top, along with a festive Santa cushion.

This May saw the finalization of Yolanda's divorce from her second husband, music mogul David Foster, whom she had married in 2011.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' alum's previous husband was real estate man Mohamed Hadid, whom she was married to from 1994 to 2000 and by whom she has three children.

Gigi, 22, Bella, 21, and Anwar, 18, all followed their mother's footsteps into modeling.

Earlier on Sunday, Yolanda posted a photo of Gigi's pop star boyfriend Zayn Malik standing at a haystack with a struck target on it.

'The Right Direction........ #OnTarget #KillingIt #ILoveYou,' Yolanda captioned the black-and-white snapshot, in which Zayn gave a charmingly lopsided smile.

This year also rang in the publication of her new memoir Believe Me: My Battle With The Invisible Disability Of Lyme Disease.

Dishing to Miss Vogue about her Yuletide schedule, Bella said this month: 'I have no plans! I’m just going to be with my family, that’s my only plan.'

Bella, who like her mother and brother also has Lyme disease, said: 'For the past few years we haven’t had a big Christmas because my mum wasn’t feeling well, so it’s just our family, we hope for the best and it always works out.'

Christmas gifts are out, and 'I don’t really remember the last time I had a wish list for Christmas, it’s just to be with my family, not work for a week and ride my horses.'

She said cheerily: 'Christmas is great anyway, eating everything and just having a good time. I’m so lucky that my life is a blessing.'
