Pip Edwards sets pulses racing in a skimpy black bikini as she soaks up the sun at Gordon's Bay in Sydney
Pip Edwards proved to be in the best shape of her life as she stripped down to a skimpy black bikini for a swim at Gordon's Bay on Sunday.
The designer, 24, set pulses racing as she soaked up the sun while lazing on a rock at the swimming spot which is in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Pip flaunted her toned and tanned physique in the frilly top and skimpy bottoms while spending time with ex-NRL player Matt King and his wife, Kristen.

Pip finished her look with a pink P.E Nation cap and a pair of sunglasses.
The Rose Bay A-lister carried her belonging in a clear beach bag for the outing.
At one point, the trio looked to be in deep conversation as they chatted on a towel before venturing into the water for an ocean dip.

It comes after the socialite was busted staging her own paparazzi photos.
A photographer accused Pip of staging the photos, sharing messages from the fashion designer in which she told him when and where she would be out for a walk so he could get a 'clean shot'.
Leaked Instagram messages showed her inviting the Sydney paparazzo to photograph her outside her office in the eastern suburbs back in July, and setting up paparazzi-style photos for two of her famous friends last year.

She had previously messaged the same photographer joking that he made her look 'wide', 'short' and 'stumpy'.
'Come back to my office and get a better pic. No seriously, come on. I want to give you better one,' Pip wrote to the snapper on July 28.
'If you want me to, I'll come back. You're the boss,' the paparazzo replied, to which Pip wrote back: 'It's a two-way street! It's gotta work out for me too.'

In another message, she told the photographer she would soon be going for a walk and promised him a 'clean shot'.
Further screenshots show Pip complaining she looks 'wide' and 'short and stumpy' in paparazzi photos in a message sent to him on another occasion in October last year.
The activewear mogul was referring to pictures of her going for a stroll around Rose Bay with her then-boyfriend Michael Clarke, which were actually taken by another photographer.

She then suggested he take better ones from a 'different angle'.
'Dude, I like you, but you gotta make me not look so wide lol,' Pip wrote.
'How come [in] the other photographers' pics I look normal and here I look short and stumpy and wide lol. C'mon. Maybe try a new angle please hahaha.'

She then contacted the same photographer just weeks later on November 28, asking him for 'a favour' - to take paparazzi photos of her 'mates', TV host Darren McMullen and DJ Milly Gattegno, in Bondi Beach.
When contacted by Daily Mail Australia, Pip insisted she has never set up a staged paparazzi set and the paparazzo is leaking the texts in retaliation, after he took pictures of her while she was at a photoshoot and was told to leave.
'(He) constantly stalks me to the point of being pointless, he harasses me asking me where I am going to be, and I never reply. And the one time I know he took an awful photo of me, I responded to him and said "at least get a good photo if you are going to get one."

'Me, like many others are over the consistent harassment of being followed that then, those pointless photos get used to create false headlines for clickbait, at my expense. This kind of false journalism has to stop. This harassment has to stop.'
She said having her picture taken by the paparazzi has damaged her self-esteem and she wished to be no longer photographed at all.
'I want to set the record straight. I get stalked daily, weekly with paps outside my own house and my office,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'Yesterday one of your paps was trespassing on private property and the manager of the property kicked him off as it was illegal for him to be inside the perimeter.
'Because of this, (he) has released a screenshot of a particular exchange, that is out of context.
'I really do hope you take into consideration my truth because I no longer refuse to be reportedly or incorrectly or falsely. I have never ever set up any photo and in fact wish photos were never ever taken,' she said.

'The existence of paps have actually damaged my self-esteem and are intrusion of our right to privacy. I understand the role they play, but in this particular instance they have gone way too far and it is an outright lie.'
The paparazzo, who asked to remain anonymous, told Daily Mail Australia it is common practice for reality stars and celebrities to stage 'candid' photographs to keep themselves in the headlines.
'Everyone does it. Everyone in reality TV from MAFS to The Bachelor does it. I've done set-ups with a lot of people,' he said.
'You even have some A-list celebrities like Kim Kardashian do it to try and control their narrative in the media.'
