Kendall Jenner showed off her sculpted bikini body as she soaked up the sun on the beach for her latest magazine cover.
The 28-year-old put her supermodel credentials on display in a monochrome polka-dot two-piece that brought back memories of the 1960s.
Her silky curtains of dark hair fluttered freely in the breeze, and her luminous complexion was amplified with a natural makeup look.
After more than a decade of global fame, the reality star and model candidly revealed that she does not 'read criticism' of herself online.
'Social media entails much more than just exposing certain things for the whole world to see. It also means exposing your energy. I take great care to protect my energy and preserve my mental health,' she told Vogue France.

Her retro chic look was the perfect complement to the theme of the issue, which was dedicated to the memory of 1960s songstress Françoise Hardy.
In addition to being a pioneer of the yé-yé musical genre, Françoise was a celebrated fashion icon and a muse to Yves Saint Laurent.
She died last month at the age of 80 after a protracted battle with cancer so brutal that she became a vocal advocate of euthanasia.
Kendall's latest magazine cover came as she appeared in a sizzling new set of bikini snaps taken in Mallorca for the fashion brand FWRD.
The photo-shoot was billed as a salute to 'Old Hollywood elegance,' and in keeping with the idea, Kendall accessorized her swimsuit with a floral headscarf.
All of the pictures were in black-and-white, intensifying the sense of throwback glamour that permeated the new images.
Kendall's globetrotting summer plans have included a trip to Puerto Rico with her on-again boyfriend Bad Bunny, who is originally from the island.
They first went public as a couple in February 2023, but by the end of that year it emerged that they had brought the curtain down on their romance.

'Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately and things slowly started to fizzle out between them,' an insider informed Entertainment Tonight.
'They have crazy busy schedules and know they're still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down.'
However the source insisted that there was no 'negativity between them' and added that 'Kendall’s family still thinks highly of him.'
By the first Monday of this May, Kendall and Bad Bunny were spotted together at a Met Gala afterparty, igniting a feverish round of reunion rumors.
A few weeks later an insider confirmed they were back on, explaining to People: 'There wasn't ever any drama in their breakup and they missed each other.'
They apparently split last year because they were 'not on the same page in life' and 'needed the break to miss each other enough to figure things out.'
The supermodel and the rap star 'always had this crazy attraction to each other,' the insider dished, adding: 'Things are great again.'
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, was allegedly displeased when he caught wind of the rumors that Kendall was considering getting back together with her previous ex, basketball heartthrob Devin Booker.

The source shared that 'Benny was not happy that Kendall was dating' and had 'been wanting her back,' noting that since their relationship resumed 'Kendall is happy. Benny is very charming and is always sweet to her.'
Kendall's latest photos come after her sister Khloe Kardashian revealed what she would do if the two of them were able to swap lives.
While Khloe, 39, has her hands full as a mother of two, Kendall is the only one of her siblings not to have any children yet.
If she were in Kendall's shoes, Khloe would indulge in the freedom of having 'no kids' and not having 'to wake up for carpool' in the morning.
She would throw herself into a party girl lifestyle, enjoying 'a f***ing tequila bottle for breakfast' and 'hooking up with every f***ing person,' she declared.
Kendall on the other hand 'definitely doesn't do any of those things, that's why she's wasting her life,' Khloe joked on a recent episode of The Kardashians. 'You're wasting it, Kendall. Let me be you for a second.'
