For the Summer 2014 issue of US Elle, the magazine featured a spread on the beautifully bronzed model Lais Ribeiro frolicking along the sandy beach in several racy bikinis.
The summer-appropriate beach-themed editorial, cleverly dubbed 'Shore Thing,' featured the ever-so-lovely Ribeiro in seductive black bikinis, gold jewelry and olive-toned jackets reclining on the beach or playing in the cool, blue water. Ribeiro relaxed on the beach wearing the latest bikini trends from wraparound triangle tops to super-slim booty short bottoms. The gold earrings, cuffs and bracelets Ribeiro wore made her look incredibly fabulous while she played in the sun. World-renowned photographer David Bellemere made it a point of highlighting Ribeiro's fabulous curves and sun-kissed skin in all of the images.
