Christie Brinkley's daughter, Sailor, set temperatures soaring when she posed in nothing but a pair of bikini bottoms while sunning herself in France. 

The 25-year-old appeared makeup-free in a selfie she shared on Instagram, showing off her tanned, bare skin while sunbathing surrounded by trees. Sailor protected her modesty with strategically placed arms covering her chest as she lay on her front to soak up the sun's rays.

"When in France, do as the French do," she captioned the steamy photo of herself wearing a pair of red and white striped bottoms that boasted side-tie stings and exposed a hint of her derriere.  

Her mom was the first to comment, replying: "Smart, compassionate and drop dead gorgeous! Yes sir that my baby." Her followers were also blown away by her beauty, with one responding: "Literal Goddess." 

A second gushed: "Goddess Sailor, you are one gorgeous apple that fell nary an inch from your Goddess Mom tree." A third added: "Looking beautiful as always, Sailor."

There's no denying that Sailor appears confident in her own skin, and last month, she encouraged her followers to accept their bodies as they are. She penned: "As summer slowly creeps up on us… the exhausting rhetoric of the bikini body creeps up on us as well… 

"So let's all remember just how wonderful, magical, powerful, sensual, flexible, durable, fantastical and beautiful our bodies are. Just as they are. Right now. With or without a special diet. With or without a gnarly workout routine."

Sailor shared an important message about changing bikini bodies

Sailor continued: "Today. In this moment. No matter what. Celebrate yourself. Our bodies keep us safe and alive. They carry us through this life. They expand and shrink and build and stretch and curve and squish. Let’s enjoy the changing of the seasons and let’s enjoy the changes of our bodies. Celebrate the fact that you are here, you are alive, and [expletive] the rest. I love you."

Her mother was one of the first to respond and wrote: "That's my girl." Fans also commented: "@christiebrinkley she is your girl, she's remarkably strong, beautiful, ambitious, loving and kind!!! Blessed to be your daughter," and, "@christiebrinkley She got it from you." 

Sailor's trip comes just weeks after she celebrated her birthday and shared a poignant message in which she praised herself for how far she has come over the last 10 years.

Christie and Sailor are incredibly close

"For the first birthday in quite a while I didn't catch the birthday blues. I held strongly to the belief in a version of myself that hasn't come to life yet & gave love to all the past versions that brought me here," she wrote. 

"This year I tried new things, moved through hardships with grace, celebrated my body, nourished my inner child, laughed more, cried less, became friends with the scary parts of my mind, made sure to dance at least twice a week, cherished my friendships, felt peace in my solitude, and found an incredible sense of true independence I've never felt before."
