Modelling icon Heidi Klum has brought the holiday heat to paradise.
The model, 52, and her husband Tom Kaulitz, 36, have escaped snowy New York City for the Caribbean island of St. Barths – where the sun is shining and temperatures are in the high 80s.
So naturally Klum was not going to shy away from taking it off.
The Project Runway host went topless as she frolicked on the beach alongside her adoring husband Kaulitz the day after Christmas.
Beer in hand and smile on her face, Klum seemed to be having the time of her life soaking up the sun in and out of the water.
She explored the beaches hand-in-hand with her spouse and even enjoyed a cute canoodle session in the waves.

Klum took a swig from her Heineken
Klum was wearing practically next to nothing for her day of sea and sunshine.
She arrived to the beach in a mocha string bikini – which she partially removed to properly tan her chest.
What remained was her thong bikini bottoms, a white cap, sunglasses, and chunky gold earrings.
Kaulitz opted for light pink swimming trunks and a grey cap over his long hair.
Eventually their group expanded, with Klum’s long-time pal, photographer Antoine Verglas, joining them for a beer in the water.
The romance between the Project Runway alum and Tokio Hotel guitarist first caught public attention in March 2018, when they were seen sharing a passionate kiss while leaving a Lorraine Schwartz launch party, linked arm-in-arm.
Their relationship quickly intensified, and by December 2018, Kaulitz proposed.
The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony just seven months later, before celebrating with a grand event in Capri, Italy, in August 2019.

Following their wedding, Kaulitz embraced his role as a stepfather, joining Klum in raising her children.
Klum has a daughter, Leni, with former boyfriend Flavio Briatore, and sons Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14, with her ex-husband Seal, to whom she was married from 2005 to 2014.
During their marriage, he also adopted her daughter, Leni, now 20, when she was just five-years-old.
Meanwhile, Heidi’s topless adventure comes two years after she revealed she’s unapologetic about sharing topless or nearly naked photos.
She also said that there’s a ‘strategy’ behind her love for showcasing her figure.
‘I’m super comfortable naked today. To the point where my kids are like, “Mom, I have a friend coming over,”” she told People in 2023.
The couple are now thousands of miles away from snowy New York

‘As soon as someone is coming, I put my top on,’ Heidi explained. ‘But if no one is there, suns out buns out.
‘I just don’t like tan lines because I wear so many different outfits. I don’t want to have straps anywhere from tan lines. It’s very strategic.’
She continued: ‘When I do America’s Got Talent, most of the time I sit behind a desk, so it’s really from the waist up.’
‘So, I look for something that is of interest around here.
‘And usually, I like to have Hans and Franz on a good display,’ she quipped while motioning at her breasts.
She also insists she takes fitness and diet seriously to maintain her fit figure.
In a 2021 interview with Body and Soul she said, ‘I try to eat super healthy. We eat at like 6 to 6:30pm, [and having] home-cooked food, knowing what you’re eating is super important.
‘I love healthy food; I don’t really eat much junk. I like to be fit and I like to feel fit. I know that when I gained a little bit [of weight]… I felt sluggish. I was like, “No, I have to get back into shape.”‘
