Candice Swanepoel just proved why she's one of the most successful supermodels in history. The former Victoria's Secret Angel took to Instagram to share some incredible modelling photos – and she's never looked better.
The 37-year-old beauty looked incredible as she posed for a poolside shoot, wearing her very own Tropic of C bikini.

Rocking a beige bikini with boho glass bead detailing on the straps, Candice showcased her sun-kissed tan to perfection as she modelled her brand's latest drop. The verdict from her fans was unanimous: "She is a goddess."
The statuesque model developed her eco-friendly swimwear brand while pregnant with her second child, putting the focus on sustainable fabrics and female empowerment.

While she might have hung up her wings five years ago, Candace has returned to the Victoria's Secret runway since, walking in their rebooted shows in both 2024 and 2025 alongside her fellow OG Angels.
Facing declining TV ratings and public criticism over lack of inclusivity, Victoria's Secret underwent a complete brand overhaul in 2021. They dissolved the 'Angels' contract – which Candice had been under since 2010 – and replaced it with the VS Collective.

"Being one of the Angels is one of the few jobs that can totally change someone's life. For example, clients and designers who would have never given you a second look now sit up and take notice."
Candice's newfound focus on family life

The South African model and her husband Hermann Nicoli welcomed their firstborn, Anacan, in October 2016, followed by their second son, Ariel, in June 2018.
"What a gift and precious responsibility it is to bring a new soul into the world. To love and teach to love just the same. My life definitely started over on the day I met my baby," she previously penned in a sweet Instagram caption marking Mother’s Day.

The supermodel said it has been incredible to see the love blossoming between her two children since Ariel, seven, arrived on the scene.
"To see the love between them is amazing. It’s a lot, I’m not gonna lie. The second one is a lot easier, but the situation of having two makes it harder," she previously told People. "My second one is an angel. 'He's like, 'Mommy, I know you don’t need more stress.'"
