Charlotte McKinney showed off her curves on the beach in Miami on Friday.
The model, 30, who was spending time on a working holiday in the South Florida city, hit the sand in a colorful pink and teal floral bikini. The swimsuit consisted of a barely visible triangle halter top and thong bottoms.
Her blonde locks were loosely pinned up. She wore little to no makeup and shielded her hazel eyes from the bright sun rays with dark sunglasses.
The fashion veteran let her hair down as she stepped into the warm blue waters of Biscayne Bay.
The Orlando-born beauty was in Miami to celebrate her cover of the July issue of Ocean Drive magazine.

The model, who recently split from boyfriend Nathan Kostechko after seven years together, has been focusing on her new loves: acting and comedy. She has built up an acting resume in recent years and spoke to the publication about her upcoming slasher film, Stiletto.
“That was the opposite for me,” the blonde bombshell admitted. ‘But it was so much fun! I got this offer and thought, “This is so different for me.” But then again, I’m at a stage in my life where I’m saying yes to anything different and trying it.”
“It was surprisingly cathartic to let loose and scream bloody murder. The experience was a lot of fun and we had such a great cast. I look forward to hopefully doing more in the horror genre.”
McKinney launched her modeling career through social media posts. After being pulled on stage during David Spade’s Lights Out show on Comedy Central, the model discovered she could make people laugh and her stand-up comedy career was born.
“This was before the pandemic, and David Spade was performing with Whitney Cummings, and all of a sudden their team stuck a microphone in my ear and threw me on stage at The Comedy Store, which is an iconic place to do comedy,” McKinney explained.
‘I was like, “Okay, whatever, let’s do it.” When I went out and performed, I realized it felt natural and could be something I wanted to do more of.”
‘People were impressed by my improvisation during the performance, which made me think even more about a career in the profession.’
McKinney said she draws inspiration from other comedians, such as Chelsea Handler and Sarah Silverman.

In her interview with the publications, she spoke about pursuing not only modeling, but also acting and stand-up comedy. “Learning to let go has been hard for me, but it’s also weirdly therapeutic,” she said. (Pictured in Miami in November 2023)
“I love how they don’t worry about anything, how they’re true to themselves and just say what they feel,” she explains.
“I’m trying to learn how to grow a thicker skin and act more like them,” she said. “Learning to let go has been difficult for me, but it’s also strangely therapeutic.”
McKinney explained her actions, saying, “My humor is absolutely self-deprecating,” she claimed, adding that she steers clear of controversial topics. “I like to make fun of myself, so I only pull on my own life. I don’t talk about things I don’t know anything about, like politics.”
She also works on her own material and posts some of it on her social media accounts. “I work with writers to get the jokes out, but now I also write my own sketches, which is so fun,” she said.
