Candice Swanepoel, 36, Is A Bronzed Goddess In New Swimsuit Photos

Candice Swanepoel proves why she's one of the world's top models as she stuns in the new sensational swimsuit campaign for Tropic of C!

The 36-year-old Victoria's Secret model shows off her enviable physique against the sun-drenched backdrop of Ischia in Napoli, Italy.

Captured by photographer Eduardo Bravi, Swanepoel looked as stunning as ever in several pieces from the January 2024 collection.

The South African beauty sported a skintight gold swimsuit and a bikini that turned heads. Ischia's spectacular beach backdrop complemented the model's sun-kissed beauty, which was enhanced by makeup and a sleek hairstyle.

Proving age is just a number in fashion, Swanepoel showcases impressive confidence and natural beauty in her latest ad campaign for her brand.

She also sported eco-conscious day-to-evening pieces, such as a crop top and long skirt set.

Victoria's Secret also dropped a sizzling clip featuring the pieces with a caption: "Golden hours and barefoot grace, TROPIC OF C X VICTORIA’S SECRET summer collection was made for the wild and warm. Find Swimwear by founder and icon Candice Swanepoel in select stores and online."

"TROPIC OF C X VICTORIA'S SECRET," Swanepoel wrote in the caption. "Our second limited-edition collection. So much love for everyone involved in bringing my vision to life."

On April 10, Swanepoel dropped jaws in a tight cheetah-print swimsuit from the collaboration. She posted a picture on Instagram with a caption: "TROPIC OF C X VICTORIA’S SECRET, exclusive C one piece in baby cheetah now available on tropicofc.com & victoriassecret.com @tropicofc @victoriassecret."

The new Tropic of C's collection is the first collaboration of Swanepoel with Victoria's Secret, after modeling for the US retailer for years.

"Creating this collection and bringing it to life with people I love and respect is such a joy," she said.

As per the Victoria's Secret website, the collab will feature "timeless swimwear and clothing designs made from luxurious and sustainable fabrics."

After years of walking the runway, Swanepoel pursued a different career by launching her swimsuit brand. She partnered with Daniela Manfredi, who worked for over eight years as Senior Vice President and Creative Director at Victoria's Secret.

"It started as a creative outlet," said Swanepoel. "I love photography and imagery and beauty in general. I had been working and shooting swim for so many years, and as a way of keeping my mind working during photoshoots, I would analyze the product."

She launched Tropic of C in February 2018 and has also been featured on e-tailers like Olivela, Goop, and Moda Operandi. Apart from chic designs, the brand focuses on sustainability.

"Sustainability is a key part of my lifestyle. I think coming from Africa and growing up with such a strong level of nature, it's where I get inspiration," Swanepoel explained.
