Candice Swanepoel showed off her toned figure in new swimsuit photos posted to her Tropic of C brand’s Instagram account.
The blonde bombshell wore a little black strappy monokini that she tried to pass off as a leotard. Nowadays, women wear swimwear as clothes because they want to show more skin. Kim Kardashian’s bikini tops worn under blazers is a good example.
She paired the suit with off-the-hip worn jeans while holding a black and gold jacket over her shoulders.
The star wrote in her caption, “NEW black terra collection is now live! @tropofc.’ She then added that the suit was “sustainable fashion” and that the shoot was by Greg Swales Art.
The cover girl wore her voluminous blonde locks down for the shoot that took place at a photo studio last month.

Earlier this year, the Victoria’s Secret veteran hit the one-year milestone for her company, Tropic Of C, which makes bikinis and one-piece suits.
The swimwear company is eco-friendly and sustainable, using Candice as a top model for its skimpy suits.
The slogan is: ‘Influenced by nature, inspired by the female form, an eco-lifestyle brand born from a life spent on the beach.’
The talented supermodel has posted many themed collages of pinup images on her Instagram page.
Swanepoel, who started working professionally in the modeling industry at the age of 15, opted for minimalistic accessories to complete her look for the shoots.
The model has been busy with her brand, appearing in recent campaigns such as Hugo Boss, which has starred other celebrities, including Gigi Hadid and new mom, Paris Hilton.
When she opened up about the motivation to launch Tropic Of C, Candice shared Forbes in an earlier interview: ‘Sustainability is an important part of my lifestyle.’

“I think coming from Africa and growing up with such a strong level of nature, that’s where I draw inspiration,” admitting that the company initially started out as just “a creative outlet” for beauty.
The star maintains a fitness routine to achieve her toned body and told E! News that she enjoys using “ankle weights” and doing squats.
Besides being active in the fashion and modeling industry, Candice also mainly focuses on the family.
She shares sons, Anaca, 6, and four-year-old Ariel, with ex-fiancee and fellow model Hermann Nicoli. The two officially announced their engagement in 2015.
But they chose to go their separate ways in 2018 while maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship. In September 2022, the supermodel was briefly linked to Kanye West.
