Ellie Goulding looked nothing short of sensational in a red bikini as she posed for a Instagram selfie on New Year’s Day.
The singer, 37, showed off her incredible figure in the high waisted two-piece, as she relaxed on a sun lounger overlooking an infinity pool on Monday.
Showcasing her natural beauty, Ellie pulled her blonde tresses back and accessorised with a gold pendant necklace.
The Still Falling For You songstress later headed to the beach as she shared a snap of the sun setting over the ocean on her Instagram Story.
Ellie, who celebrated her birthday on December 30, also uploaded a snap of her two pals holding a large cake with candles.

It comes after Ellie revealed she felt ‘vulnerable’ and ‘intimidated’ working in nearly all-male-run studios when she launched her singing career.
The Love Me Like You Do singer said she would even wear baggy clothes with no make-up to avoid creating any distractions for her or anyone else.
Ellie said male producers would ask her to go out for a drink and that it would sometimes become ‘a romantic thing when it shouldn’t’ have. The star said such advances were ‘kind of a currency’ in the music industry.
Speaking to Radio 4’s Today Programme, Ellie said there are much better protections in place for young musicians today than when her career began in 2010, with her own record label now providing chaperones and counsellors for new talent.
She said: ‘It was very obvious to me that I was a woman with mostly men around me. And it was a bit intimidating and there were times where I felt a bit vulnerable and then when I went into the studios years down the line I still felt that vulnerability.
‘I’d often go by myself, I spend a lot of time by myself, so I just stumbled into studios alone and it would often be with male producers, so that was always in the back of my mind.
‘I would go to the studio purposefully in baggy clothes, things like that, not because I thought anything was going to happen, just because I wanted to be there to work and to not have any distractions for myself or anyone else.’
Visiting her old college in Hereford as part of a segment on appearance as a guest editor on Today, the artist spoke to students about working in the music industry prior to the MeToo movement.
MeToo began in 2017 after allegations of sexual abuse were made against Harvey Weinstein, which he was later convicted and jailed for.
It saw a number of high-profile stars come forward with allegations of sexual harassment or assault against high-profile male figures.
