Ms Seymour appears from the sea like a mythical goddess as she enjoys a family holiday in St Barts

Her emergence from the sea was something reminiscent of Botticelli's The Birth Of Venus.

And at 45-years-old Stephanie Seymour most certainly proved that she is still the envy of women across the world as she flaunted her impeccable physique whilst holidaying in St Barts.

The American model was spotted frolicking in the strong waves in a floral two-piece bikini alongside her friends and family on Christmas Day.

The brunette beauty, who made her mark in the industry as one of the first Victoria's Secret models, was kitted out in a red and white floral bikini - which showed off her curves in all the right places. 

Leaving her dark locks wild and loose to get wet by the water, she showed off her flawless fair complexion by wearing not a scrap of make-up for her beach day. 

As Stephanie played in the water, she was surprised by a huge wave, which splashed all around her. 

Although she looked startled, Stephanie still managed to maintain her model pose in the sea. 

She was later seen wading in the water whilst chatting to a couple of family members and appeared to be in good spirits as she told them both a story. 

Stephanie Seymour kicked off her annual Winter family vacation in St. Barts last Saturday when she gathered with her little ones by a pool to get in a bit of bikini time. 

The supermodel dressed in a pink two-piece, later covering up in a matching sarong to write a note while lounging next to her King Charles spaniel.

Stephanie and her husband, millionaire businessman Peter Brant, have been known to take the whole family to St Barts for years. 

The two have been married for more than 15 years and have three children together, Lilly, Harry, and Peter. 

She also has a son Dylan from her previous marriage to Tommy Andrews.

Stephanie may have worked solidly since she first began modelling 30 years ago, but she previously lamented about the rise of actors as models within her profession.

'I would like to see fewer actors modelling,' she told Interview Magazine back in August. 'Or if they're going to model to the extent that they are modelling, then I think that models should be actors.'
