Sofia Richie showcases her elegantly toned physique in an orange bikini as she braves a rocky beach

Sofia Richie was in her ‘element’ in a stunning set of new bikini photos shared to her Instagram on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old model didn’t let a little discomfort stop her as she stretched out on a beach covered in large stones and overlooked by a high cliff. 

And even though it was now officially winter, Sofia looked as if she couldn’t wait for summer again with her orange two-piece swim suit.

The daughter of Lionel Richie reclined on the rocks in her first photo to highlight her svelte figure as she gazed toward the sky.

Her suit featured a halter top, and the dark orange color was broken up with cloud-like white splotches.

In a second photo, she pulled her bottoms up as a wave of water rushed toward her.

Her wet, dirty blond hair was swept back, and she blocked out the bright sun with a pair of black sunglasses.

‘My element,’ she captioned the post.

Sofia didn’t specify where she posed for her photos or when, but she was recently seen on Sunday on the Caribbean island of St. Barts.

Even though more than 322,000 Americans have been killed by COVID-19, and 1.7 million have died from the novel coronavirus worldwide, it hasn’t stopped celebrities from enjoying vacations and traveling across the world.

Sofia was joined by her father Lionel Richie, 71, who also had his 31-year-old girlfriend Lisa Parigi with him.

However, the young model appeared to be without a love interest on the trip.

Last week, it was reported that Sofia’s romance with Cha Cha Matcha founder Matthew Morton had ‘cooled down’ after two months of dating.

She and the 27-year-old son of Hard Rock Cafe co-founder Peter Morton ‘still text here and there,’ but the sparks seems to have been extinguished, a source told E! News.

‘They weren’t seriously dating and were only casually seeing each other, but the relationship has definitely simmered,’ they continued.

Sofia’s brief relationship with Matthew followed her three-year relationship with Scott Disick, who is 15 years her senior. 

Their unorthodox relationship, which began in 2017, found her going on family trips with Scott and his ex Kourtney Kardashian, as well as their children..

However, they broke up in August following Scott’s stint in rehab earlier in the summer and a brief reconciliation in July.

Earlier this month, she appeared to shed more light on their breakup on Instagram.

Sofia shared a series of cryptic quotations to her Instagram Stories, in which she seemed to refer to herself and Scott as ‘different people,’ and indicated that she was evolving.
