She’s known for storming the runway as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and taking to fashion magazines’ coveted covers.

But on Tuesday, it was the beach that Candice Swanepoel worked her magic on – enjoying a sun-soaked day with pals as she holidays in Trancoso, Brazil.

The 33-year-old was snapped sporting a small purple ʙικιɴι during the day, which featured a tie-detail and crisscross back.

Candice displayed her taut frame in the two-piece, as she dipped in and out of the sea to cool off on the quiet stretch of beach.

Her blonde tresses were slicked back and drenched from the waves, as the model opted for a bare-faced look.

She layered two beaded belly chains around her torso, adding a silver necklace and arm bangle.

Enjoying the beach day out, Candice frolicked in the sea – laying down in the shallow end, before standing up and making a splash.

She added a pair of brown plastic sunglᴀsses to her look at one point, before later shielding her face with a crochet bucket hat.

Appearing in high spirits, the South Africa native looked back at her shoreside pals while giggling.

The group had set up camp on the golden sands, placing towels down as they got comfortable to top up on their tans.

But Candice was keen to have some more fun, as she headed to a nearby tree to swing on the branch.

Holding on with both arms, the model flung one leg up and swung from side to side whilst hanging on the branch.
