Melissa George, 44, displays her toned frame in white string bikini as radiant star goes make-up free on the beach in St Barts

She was a national rollerskating champion in the 1990s.

And Melissa George has retained her athletic figure as she showed off her toned frame in a white string bikini while relaxing on the beach with family on Sunday. 

The actress, 44, looked half her age as she celebrated her birthday in St Barts, France, and looked radiant for the makeup-free outing.

As lockdown restrictions have eased off, the Paris-based actress enjoyed a weekend break with her family in the country. 

She enjoyed a relaxing Sunday in the glorious sunshine from St Barts, a hot spot for holidaying celebs. 

Melissa turned 44 on August 6 and looked effortlessly youthful for her birthday retreat.

The actress cut a casual figure in an elegant white bikini that tied at her waist and displayed her toned frame.

The Australian beauty rocked an equally elegant pearl and gold ring, and a delicate gold necklace. 

Her signature blonde tresses looked noticeably darker, as Melissa has likely chosen to rock her natural colour during the current pandemic. 

She sported a makeup-free look as she went for a dip in the crystal water and kept her water drenched locks slicked back as she returned to the beach, channelling Ursula Andress from the iconic James Bond movie.

Melissa was also spotted in Venice, Italy last month as she was in the country for the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival. 

The actress is based in France and shares two children, sons Raphaël, six, and Solal, four, with her ex-partner Jean-David Blanc, a French entrepreneur. 

She split from Jean-David in 2016 after five years together following an alleged domestic violence incident at their home in Paris.

They were both charged over the incident, and the businessman was ordered to pay Melissa €1,000 in damages, and she to pay him €1.

Due to a custody arrangement, their children can’t leave France with their mother without their father’s consent, which means she is now based in Paris.

Notoriously-private Melissa hasn’t revealed if she is in a relationship.

Last year, she was romantically linked to Australian model Jarrod Scott, 30, after they were pictured together in Paris.
