Heidi Klum strips down to just her bikini bottoms for day on beach along French Riviera in France
Heidi Klum was the epitome of elegance as she and husband Tom Kaulitz attended the amfAR Gala at Cap d’Antibes during the 76th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, on Thursday.
A day later, the longtime supermodel TV personality decided to enjoy a bit of downtown and stripped down to just her bikini bottoms for a relaxing day at Cap d’Antibes, which is near the seaside town of Antibes, between Cannes and Nice on the French Riviera.
Sitting topless on a lounge chair with the beach in the background, Klum looked seductively over her right shoulder as she held a white rose to her nose in a photo she posted to her Instagram page.
She stood with her back to the camera, wearing only black bikini bottoms that were almost a thong design.
Her long blonde locks fell down the middle of her back, adding volume, while still rocking a large fringe in the front.

Klum, who turns 50 on June 1, kept it simple, simply writing “Cap d’Antibes” in the caption.
The resident of Bergisch Gladbach, West Germany, put her bikini top back on for another photo taken at the same spot on the beach.
This time she turned further to the right so she could clearly see her ample cleavage as she closed her eyes as she smelled the white rose.
Earlier on Friday, Klum took to her Instagram page to share some gratitude for reaching another milestone of fans and followers on her social media platform.
“Wow, I woke up this morning with 11 million followers, and I just wanted to thank you for being on my journey with me,” she said in a short video, using a popular filter that added purple hearts across the screen.
“Thanks for 1️⃣1️⃣ million,” she added in the caption, along with a bunch of smiley face emojis, party favors, and a red heart.
The previous night, Klum and Kaulitz made their way to the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes for the amfAR Gala.

Posing for a storm, the German beauty added to her eye-catching ensemble with a pair of silver shimmering heels to enhance her already statuesque height.
There was also an auction featuring an array of artwork, diamond jewelry and experiences, including a Damien Hirst portrait of DiCaprio that eventually sold for 1.2 million euros ($1.29 million).
A regular amfAR customer, DiCaprio snuck into the event so as not to draw attention to himself, but did not take the stage to present the winning bidder with his prized portrait.
The non-profit organization is dedicated to supporting AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and advocacy. Since 1985, amfAR has invested nearly 0 million in its programs and awarded more than 3,500 grants to research teams around the world.
The 76th Cannes Film Festival started on May 16 and is expected to end on Saturday, May 27.
