Heidi Klum strips down to just her bikini bottoms for day on beach along French Riviera in France

Heidi Klum was the picture of elegance when she and her husband Tom Kaulitz attended the amfAR Gala in Cap d’Antibes amid the 76th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on Thursday.

One day later and the longtime supermodel-turned television personality decided to enjoy a little downtown and stripped down to just her bikini bottoms for a relaxing day in Cap d’Antibes, which is near the resort town of Antibes, between Cannes and Nice on the French Riviera.

Sitting on a lounge chair topless with the beach in the backdrop, Klum seductively looked over her right shoulder while holding a white rose by her nose in a photo she posted on her Instagram page.

She had her back towards the camera, while wearing just black bikini bottoms that were close to being a thong design.

Her long blonde tresses fell down past the middle of her back, with added volume, while still rocking major bangs in the front.

‘Thank you for 1️⃣1️⃣ million,’ she added in the caption, along with a number of emojis that included smiley faces, party favors and a red heart.

There was also an auction that featured an array of artwork, diamond jewels, and experiences, including a Damien Hirst portrait of DiCaprio that eventually sold for 1.2 million euros ($1.29 million).

DiCaprio, an amfAR regular, snuck into the event, as to not draw attention to himself, but did not go on stage to present the winning bidder with his prized portrait.
