Jessica Gomes didn’t shy away from flaunting her incredible figure at a sunny Sydney beach on Monday.
The Sports Illustrated model, 38, showed off her model good looks in a very flattering black bikini as she took a dip in the cool water.
With her dark locks drenched in salt water and a set of $591 Prada sunglasses perched on her face, the stunner strutted her stuff along the shore.
Letting her natural beauty shine through without a lick of makeup in sight, the former David Jones ambassador showcased her toned legs in high-cut bikini bottoms.
She opted for a practical ensemble with a low-cut but sturdy square bathing top as she soaked up the sun during her relaxing day out.

In the past, Jessica has been open about being labelled ‘too curvy’ by the fashion industry during her early days as a model.

She told Stellar magazine in 2021 how one encounter back in 2006 left her feeling deeply demoralised.
Jessica, who is of Portuguese, Singaporean and Chinese heritage, attended a casting in New York City where the director sighed and prodded her breasts after fitting her in an outfit.
She recalled him having said: ‘It’s too tight. Your boobs are too big.’

‘I felt really bad about myself,’ Jessica told the magazine. ‘I was getting knocked back by a lot of fashion brands because I was too curvy.’
In hindsight, the rejection turned out to be a blessing, with Sports Illustrated booking her shortly thereafter.
‘My agent was like, “Don’t worry, Sports Illustrated has just booked you. They love your boobs. They’re great! So you’re going to do that,”‘ she recalled.
Having modelled for more than two decades, Jessica is now busier than ever, not only fronting fashion campaigns, but also turning her hand to business and acting.
