Heidi Klum.

Supermodel Heidi Klum is soaking up the sun in St. Barts during the holidays, and shedding some layers while she’s at it. The 1998 SI Swimsuit Issue cover star hit the beach with her hubby, musician Tom Kaulitz, and opted for just an itty-bitty pair of black string bikini bottoms.

Klum shared a snippet of her semi-nude sunbathing session with her 11.8 million Instagram followers in a reel she posted on Dec. 26. The 50-year-old mom of four panned the camera over her body as she held a hand up to cover her bare chest. She was sprawled out in the sand on an orange beach towel as the sun shone bright.

The America’s Got Talent judge then panned the camera up to her bare face, before perching a pair of black sunglasses atop her nose. Meanwhile, Kaulitz, 34, sat next to her in a pair of Mickey Mouse patterned swim trunks.

She captioned her post with a simple “😎” emoji and set the footage to the song “What a Day for a Daydream” by Robson Green.

It’s clear that Klum and her partner, who will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary in February, are having a great time on their sunshine-filled vacation. She’s shared plenty of content of the two at the beach and sneak peeks from an upscale holiday dinner. 

And best of all, thanks to her carefree sunbathing methods, Klum clearly doesn’t have to worry about tan lines once the trip ends.
