VICTORIA’S Secret beauty Candice Swanepoel stripped to festive lace lingerie as she posed for a sizzling new shoot.
The catwalk queen flashed her rippling abs in a red lace bra and thong, paired with a matching suspender belt.
Candice, 36, threw a red silk shirt over her elbows and struck a sultry pose as she perched on a balcony.
The supermodel left her blonde hair in loose waves and threw them over her shoulder for the racy shoot.
The South African beauty – who is one of Victoria’s Secret’s iconic Angels – then switched to an ice blue lace two-piece which she paired with skyscraper heels.
She pulled on a festive sparkling eye mask to complete her look for another cheeky picture.
After she uploaded a selection of the snaps to her Instagram page, Candice wrote: “Unwrap the magic of this holiday season.”
Fans were quick to comment, and one said: “Awesome shot!” before one hailed her an: “ANGEL.”
A third mused: “Red is definitely killer on you!”
One then surmised: “Wow u r the hottest.”
Earlier this year, Candice teamed up with fellow supermodel Behati Prinsloo for another Victoria’s Secret campaign.
She also wowed fans as she slipped into a ruffle dress and lavender lingerie.
Candice previously revealed it was motherhood that made her feel more “beautiful.”
She shares children Ariel, six, and Anaca, eight, with fellow model and ex-fiance Hermann Nicoli.
Yet despite being one of lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret’s most famous models, she has admitted she has struggled to love her body.
The parent of two spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun, as a new ambassador for Anne Klein, and admitted: “In my teens, I was extremely thin and got teased for it, which is the case for many models.
THE iconic fashion show is back after a six-year hiatus. Here are the big names who graced the runway...
“At that time it was the formula for finding new girls that were awkward in their teens but by the time they hit 20 had grown into their bodies, and had a few years of experience in the industry.
“Many people believe we have a certain confidence in our genetics but most of us still sometimes feel like that awkward teen.
“It’s a job at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what I think of my body on that specific day, as long as my client is happy, I’m happy.
“I’m there to deliver and play a role and that’s also how I coped with shyness in the very beginning.”
Asked whether she feels more or less confident modeling in a bikini since becoming a mom, Candice – who regularly posts her gym workouts online – said: “Not really.
“I am normal so we all have good days and bad days, but my body has made two little miracles, carried me around the world, and enabled me to experience life so intensely that I’m grateful.”
