Baywatch babe! Shanina Shaik leaves very little to the imagination as she flexes her muscular legs in a skimpy scarlet swimsuit

She may not have been on a Los Angeles beach, but Shanina Shaik was having her very own Baywatch moment on Thursday when she stripped down to a very skimpy red one-piece.

Posing on the set of a photo shoot in Australia's Byron Bay, the Victoria's Secret beauty left little to the imagination as she channelled Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra in the plunging swimsuit with a very high-cut waist by Minimale Animale.

She teamed up with Sports Illustrated model Hannah Ferguson and Austrian stunner Nadine Leopold on the day who contrasted her scarlet look in mismatched black bikinis.

Confusion: Fans have been discussing the bikini snap Shanina Shaik posted online on Friday, asking about 'a strange hole' in the brunette beauty's leg

In one photo posted to Instagram, 25-year-old Shanina is seen wedged inbetween the two blondes while leaning up against some palms.

Standing side-on, she arches her back and stretches one of her lean legs out in front of her while staring sultrily into the lens.

Her brunette locks are pulled up into a messy top knot and her makeup is kept natural with just her eyes and lips slightly highlighted.

Another snap meanwhile, has the newly engaged model reaching her arms up over her head but as she flexes one leg, the muscles connecting her hips to her thighs can be seen straining.

Shanina is back in her native Australia after spending time Stateside last month.

The stunner was one of the A-list guests attending Sir Elton John's Oscars viewing party and dressed for the occasion in a show-stopping black number with a very Hollywood thigh-high slit. 

She is also currently in the midst of planning a wedding after getting engaged to her beau DJ Ruckus at the end of last year. 

Shanina told Daily Mail Australia recently she hopes to tie the knot by the beach saying: 'We agreed it's going to be a location wedding.'

'I don't like the big, puffy dress,' she added of her dream gown, 'It's at the beach so it might be a bit hot too so there's a lot of factors that come into [choosing the right dress].'
