Lara Worthington shows off her slim figure in sheer top and strips down to a bikini as she enjoys Bali vacation with her family

Lara Worthington has jetted off to Bali with her family after returning to Australia for the Christmas holidays.

The model and her husband Sam Worthington and their three sons have been enjoying the sun in the tropical setting.

The 37-year-old posted to Instagram this week to describe the relaxing outing, posing on a tree-lined staircase in a sheer black top.

She showed off her lithe figure in the fitted ensemble, which included a rust-colored miniskirt.

Other photos taken this week show Lara reclining on the beach with a cocktail while wearing an oversized sweater.

“Solo sip” Lara captioned the series of photos, indicating she slipped away from the family to enjoy some down time.

Further images show Lara donning a black bikini for a dip on the beach.

She captioned the set with ‘Water sports’, which also included images of a boat trip.

Last month Lara visited Darwin with her family and had fun interacting with the local wildlife.

In one image, Sam, 48, held up a skull of what appeared to be a crocodile as one of their sons played in the background.

In her caption she wrote: ‘The new Irwins’, referring to the family of Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin, who are known for their love of crocodiles and wildlife.

It comes after the model sparked the ire of some fans this week after sharing photos of a seemingly innocuous act.

Lara shared two photos on Instagram taken at Crocosaurus Cove – a herpetarium and aquarium in Darwin.

The heartbreaking footage showed Lara locked in a perspex cage, called the Cage Of Death, beneath the surface of the water.

Lara wasn’t swimming alone, though, as the photos showed a good-sized crocodile swimming up to the cage to tailor Lara as a perspective meal.

She seemed unfazed, however, as she gently waved her arms through the water as she watched the prehistoric critters from the safety of the cage and channeled her inner Steve Irwin.

The uplifting post received a flood of comments from fans, with many praising Lara’s bravery as they took on the apex predators.

“Wow, I still wouldn’t trust that,” one fan opined, while another chimed in with something similar: “You’re brave..no hope I would do this!”

However, not all fans were impressed, with some taking the time to slam the television personality for ‘taunting’ the Crocs.

“These amazing prehistoric creatures are kept in captivity in small pools for people to mock,” one fan chastised. “This isn’t your vibe.”

Another fan agreed with the sentiment, arguing that the animals seemed “depressed.”

“100% agree,” they replied.

‘When I saw these crocodiles last year I was so sad, they looked so depressed. The pools are small. It is wrong on all levels.”

Lara’s post comes after husband Sam had an awkward encounter with a reporter on the red carpet of the GQ Men Of the Year Awards.

Channel Seven reporter Sally Bowery introduced Lara to viewers of the Sydney event by her maiden name Bingle – and it went down like a lead balloon.

“Her name is Lara Worthington,” the Avatar star clapped back.

“It’s only been ten years,” a clearly irritated Sam quickly added.

Bowery quickly apologized for his mistake.

“Those were my panties,” she said.

Later in the evening, the Avatar star was crowned GQ’s Man of the Year.

After the Bingle fuss on the red carpet, Sally clapped back at the actor in a column for Seven.

‘I said Lara’s maiden name. Not the wrong name. Just a name she had used for much of her life. A name that was a household name long before she met her husband,” Sally said.

She insisted that Lara herself didn’t seem “in the least bothered” by her mistake and laughed it off as she shared her confusion about why Sam wanted her to be called by her married name.

Sally argued, “Then why not at an event where her husband celebrated what it means to be a modern man now?” A married woman’s identity is much more than her husband’s last name.’

She then quoted Sam’s own acceptance speech when he was crowned Man of the Year hours later, in which he spoke about the need to leave behind outdated views.

‘[He told] the masses say that men can “love others unconditionally and respectfully, without having to conform to an outdated standard or a stereotypical, archaic and downright sad idea of ​​what a man should be.”

“I completely agree,” she concluded.

Sam and Lara started dating in 2013 and secretly married in 2014. They have since welcomed three sons: Racer, eight, River, four, and Rocket, nine.
