Heidi completed her look with a pair of blue strappy heels, and accessorized with tinted aviator sunglasses and oversized hoop earrings.
In one shot, Heidi was seen posing in front of the billboard for her Calzedonia bikini campaign.
She was also captured getting glamorous make-up applied to her by a stylist as she beamed for the cameras.

Want a pay rise? Take this French writer's hilarious advice

Georges Perec was attracted by formal challenges to writing: his most famous achievement was his novel La Disparition, written without using the letter 'e' once. (This is particularly hard in French, but the late Gilbert Adair managed to translate it into English, under the title A Void.) There was serious intent behind this; it was an echo of the Nazis' efforts to remove every single Jew from Europe. (In the case of Perec's mother, as well as about six million others, they succeeded.) The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise is much more light-hearted, but is still the result of an act of literary restriction: an attempt to mimic, in prose, the recursive nature of a flow chart. First published in 1968, this delightfully unclassifiable text, now reissued by Verso, is short and exhausting, and features no capital letters, punctuation (apart from dashes), inverted commas or any other of the normal accoutrements of the printed page. In short, it looks like this: it is never very wise to approach a line manager at a time when his gastric functions are likely to overshadow the professional and managerial capacities associated with his hierarchical rank it is far better to go see him in the morning but what the hell he himself told you to come see him at 2.30 pm you have to take life as it comes so now it is 2.30 pm and you go to see mr x … and so on. I could have stopped anywhere. You can either put up with this kind of thing or you can't, but once you slip into its rhythms, it becomes both beguiling and hilarious (although you wouldn't really want it any longer.) For me it recalls Molly Bloom's soliloquy at the end of Ulysses, or some of the madder expressions of Beckett's prose works (and Lucky's speech in Waiting for Godot); or indeed, Don Marquis's Archy and Mehitabel, a similarly unpunctuated and lower-case text. There's something about this style which is particularly suited to the downtrodden, and in my experience there are few more miserable and downtrodden people than office workers. It first appeared in the journal Enseignement programmé, which was devoted to exploring computer programming (in those days, still in its youth); as it happened, Perec's day job was as a lowly information storage and retrieval technician, grade IIIB, which meant, as Bellos notes in his introduction, 'his prospects of getting a raise were quite as dim as those of the narrator of this tale.' And yet there's a kind of insane but helpless cunning behind his efforts: which day would be best to ask? (None of them, of course.) Look at the cafeteria menu, Perec says. Is fish being served? Then be careful, for your line manager may have swallowed a fish bone and be 'in a really awful mood'. Bellos uses the word 'circumperambulate' to describe the futile odyssey you must make around the building to find out where 'he' is; he seems at times as elusive as Godot himself. When he does call you into his office 'abandon all rancour and refrain from observing [that] … he could have bloody well given you an appointment three weeks ago'. You know the protagonist will exhaust all the possibilities of the flow chart and still not get his raise; it would, of course, destroy the comedy if he did. Even in the 1960s, people were becoming uneasy about the prospect of losing their jobs to computers; Perec's own job was one of the more fragile canaries in that particular coalmine. So this book, although describing a world from over half a century ago, still rings true: not only do we have the eternal dehumanised tedium of the office, which has been evoked ever since offices were invented (think of Dickens's worn-out clerks, or Melville's rebellious Bartleby), but the long shadow of the algorithm. 'It would have been nice,' says Bellos wistfully at one point, 'to translate this text without apostrophes either, which are not needed in French, but that might have tried readers' patience a little too much.' He acknowledges that the text is 'quite unreadable in the ordinary way', and you could say that now that I have given you the gist, I have spared you the task of reading the book yourself. But there is something delightful about its intent, a sympathetic humanity which is deliberately at odds with the relentless, machine-like persistence of the prose. It's a text that repays attention, and is timeless.

She wrote: "New music and art projects on the horizon. My hubby's art will be released on Friday, as well. "Very happy for him, as it's been a long time in the making. I'll share it here so you can let him know what you think! Let's go, men! 👏 You were born for greatness."

Jennifer's song 'Crush' shot to No 1 in 16 countries and sold 11 million copies. It then went on to become the station's most requested song of the summer. Crush was also the top three Billboard chart hit in the US, while in the UK it listed in the top 10.

Claudia Winkleman looks worlds away from her usual self as she ditches her trademark heavy eyeliner after surgery

Claudia Winkleman looked worlds away from her usual self as she shared a makeup free photo after an eye operation on Friday. The TV presenter, 53, ditched her trademark eyeliner for a photo with her doctor Julian Stevens following the procedure. The Traitors host told how she wouldn't be able to wear her beloved eye makeup for a few weeks and also has to sleep with goggles on. She wrote: 'This amazing human makes me see. He's operated on my eyes before and he did it again today. No eyeliner for weeks and I sleep in goggles (no words) but I'm eternally grateful. 'Do NOT zoom in on my left eye - it's wonky. Thank you Julian. I paid for the treatment, this isn't an ad. I just love him. 'It's very possible I'm still a bit sedated. Night, night.' It comes just days after Claudia's mother mother Eve Pollard poked fun at her famous daughter's 'orange face'. During an appearance on Vanessa Feltz 's Channel 5 show on Monday the author, 81, revealed that the Strictly host uses her fake tan and lashings of mascara as a 'uniform'. Host Vanessa, 63, described Claudia's look as the 'most frequently discussed make-up in this country' to which Eva cheekily asked: 'The orange face?'. The TV star's kooky eye make-up and fringe was also brought up and her mum said: 'It's a uniform I think it's a funny way it is.' 'I think she's come across it, she didn't start like that and it's a uniform and it suits her and it works and that's it. It makes life simple for her'. Eve went on to reveal her daughter does at times try a more subdued appearance when not on air, but said the trademark look was now 'part of who Claudia Winkleman is'. Claudia previously revealed she has turned to two household items back when she was first trying to achieve her 'orange' complexion. The presenter used Bisto gravy granules and her friends' reused tea bags instead of fake tan. Claudia appeared on Radio Four's Women's Hour with Emma Barnett when she confessed to the bizarre beauty hack. Discussing what they do with tea bags once they've made cups of tea, Claudia revealed one her friends at university used to put them in ramekin so they could use them later as a self tanner. 'I'm going back to university here, when everything was reused, and I mean everything.' While Emma suggested a tea bag could be reused for their next brew, the Strictly presenter added: 'Or fake tan because I've done that before.' As Emma was stunned, Claudia elaborated: 'Of course I have, and Bisto, listen needs must, needs must.' Claudia said she puts her old tea bags in the sink which drives her husband Kris 'mad'. She previously confessed her tan is so thick she has to scour it off with a kitchen sponge. If you use the amount of spray tan I do, you need to scour it off with a kitchen utensil,' she revealed on the In The Bathroom beauty video blog. 'If you were using a Dulux colour chart, if there was one on there that said tangerine, right at the bottom, the one where you say, 'That's going to be too much for our walls', it's not too much for me. Put it on.' She said her addiction to tanning started while she was a History of Art student at New Hall College, Cambridge. She said: 'I'd rented a sunbed for a whole term in tiny halls of residence … it was so unhealthy when I think back now.'
