Flashing a hint at her lean legs and ample cleavage, the catwalk queen's racy one-piece featured a perilously plunging neckline and very daringly-cut sides that sat high on her waist.

The model complemented her scantily-clad appearance with a pair of cat-eye frame shades and a chunky gold bangle.

With her tresses styled into voluminous loose waves, the former Playboy vixen accentuated her glowing complexion with matte foundation, light strokes of blusher and pink lipstick.

As she left the pool, Victoria rocked a heavily-ruffled day gown in a similar hue as her stunning swimsuit, complete with a saucy thigh-high slit and a deeply low-cut neckline.

Victoria said: 'I started very young to model in Paris when I was 18, I remember like starving myself to fit into the clothes and it was an amazing experience but you know I did shows for Valentino, Chanel, so it was really prestigious.

'But it never felt like it was my thing, I'm not like a runway skinny model, I'm more curvy. It was torture, I put myself through starvation, you know torturing myself.'
