Sara Sampaio flashes her bikini body for sunset shoot after revealing she’d ‘gained weight’

She recently revealed she had gained ‘a little weight’ while in lockdown. 

But Sara Sampaio proved her spirits were higher than ever when she took to social media to flaunt her bikini body on Monday morning. 

The 28-year-old Victoria’s Secret Angel posed makeup free in front of a sunset while at the beach.

‘Saw a very pretty sunset yesterday,’ she captioned the series of shots. 

Sara flashed her bronzed toned stomach while opting for a cropped T-shirt of a lemon shade. 

She teamed the look with a pair of pink string tied bikini bottoms that drew attention to her long legs. 

Sara’s brunette tresses were styled back into a high ballerina bun and she sported a sun-kissed makeup free complexion.

The model’s post comes after she told her fans earlier in lockdown that she had put on a little weight – but rather looked on the bright side. 

‘Do you know one thing they don’t tell you about gaining weight? It’s that your boobs get bigger,’ she said on her Stories.  

‘So I’m just trying to understand – what do I want more abs or boobs?’

The beauty also shared how she was managing her mental health issues during lockdown. 

‘I actually deal with anxiety and depression on a regular basis so I gotta be honest, the first few weeks I was the least anxious I’ve ever been.’

The Portuguese fashionista, who was born in Porto, confessed: ‘But these past two weeks I’ve been a little bit more down and anxious.’

She also got candid about managing her trichotillomania, a disorder characterized by a powerful drive to pull one’s own hair out.

‘I’ve been having it since I’m 15 and I still do it. There are times where I pick more than others,’ the supermodel revealed.

There was a few couple of weeks during quarantine that i was just ripping them off,’ Sara told her more than seven million Instagram followers.

She has learned that ‘when my nails are short I don’t tend to pick as much and that helps them growing back, so I’ve been trying to keep them short during the quarantine, but sometimes it’s hard to because it feels so good.’

Sara has been in lockdown with her long-term boyfriend, Oliver Ripley. They’ve been dating since 2015.
