Candice Swanepoel flaunts her toned tummy in revealing outfit after being ranked ninth on Forbes’ Highest-Paid Models list

She’s just been named in Forbes’ top 10 Highest-Paid Models in the world list.

So it’s not surprising that Candice Swanepoel has something to smile about.

Heading out for a spot of well-deserved retail therapy in New York’s Soho neighbourhood on Friday, the leggy blonde put her million-dollar body on display.

Angel outing: Candice Swanepoel made quite the scene as she went shopping in New York’s Soho on Friday, flashing plenty of flesh in a stomach-revealing outfit

Leggy lady: The model barely contained her modesty in her skirt and crop top, which flaunted not only her toned tummy but her killer pins as well

Dressed in a black maxi-skirt with a well-placed slit up the side, the supermodel struggled not to expose her no doubt Victoria’s Secret underwear as the wind picked up.

With an unusual backless grey-green zig-zag striped long-sleeved crop top barely covering her modesty, the 24-year-old’s toned tummy had onlookers doing a double take.

The stunning South African beauty was actually pretty covered up compared to the attire that has made her a small fortune.

As a Victoria’s Secret Angel, the blonde star graces catwalks and catalogues in an array of revealing swimsuits and lingerie.

Raking in a cool $3.3 million this past year, the model is now ranked ninth in the world – up one spot from 2012.

Currently gracing the cover of Vogue Mexico’s September issue, the stunner continues to prove why she’s making the big bucks.

Towering beauty: The 5ft 9in South African was head and shoulders above her friend, despite wearing flats

Candice wore sensible black sandals, no make-up and her hair up in a no-fuss ponytail for her outing on Friday.

Tortoiseshell sunglᴀsses, big gold hoop earrings and several simple gold necklaces and a bangle were all the accessories the naturally beautiful star needed, while she carried a small black clutch in place of a bulky handbag.

Even without heels, the 5ft 9in model towered over her blonde friend, who was also dressed for the summer heat in a simple navy blue dress and gold sandals.
