Candice Swanepoel was spotted strutting down the pavement in New York City on Wednesday alongside her mother Eileen.
The 28-year-old Victoria’s Secret mainstay showcased her figure – enviably trim six months after giving birth – in a black dress redolent of the 1950s.
She uploaded a heartwarming Instagram video that day of her son Anacã beaming ear to ear as he went back and forth on a swing in what seemed a small park.
For her outing in the city, she’d pulled on a nearly skintight black jacket over the sheer top half of her black dress, popping on black cat-eye Sunday Somewhere sunglᴀsses.
The Mooi River native’s blonde hair was slicked severely back and wound into a bun, and she’d complemented its color by way of an unobtrusive gold choker.
Below the cinched-in waistline, the dress was finely pleated and fell slightly past the knee, matching her flats and the small leather purse slung from her right shoulder.
She grasped a small coffee cup, as did Eileen, who’d worn a scarf the same zaffre shade as her flowing blouse, as well as white trousers and sun-shaped earrings.
One of Eileen’s arms held a grey and orange purse, and with her other hand, she gripped a bag from Veniero’s, an East Village patisserie dating back to 1894.
She’s been engaged since 2015 to Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli, whom she’d begun dating a decade prior after they’d met in Paris when she was all of 17.
Their firstborn, Anacã, was born October 6 last year, and in the Instagram video his mother posted Wednesday appeared to be having the time of his life.
‘6 months ago this treasure came into my life, and brings me so much joy everyday I could just pop! So grateful to be his mommy,’ Candice gushed in her caption.
At the end, she chucked in the hashtag: ‘#mamaeorgulhosa,’ which when separated out into the Portuguese words ‘mamãe orgulhosa’ translates to ‘proud mama.’
