The Victoria's Secret sirens have brightened up this miserable late winter weather with a preview of sexy swim fashions for spring and summer. The lingerie leviathan whisked South African stunner Candice Swanepoel (above), Brazilian bombshell Alessandra Ambrosio, Minsk minx Maryna Linchuk and more to St. Tropez to frolic in the sun in their latest creations. Leopard prints, bright batiks, near-psychedelic patterns and a smattering of sequins make for an anything-but-understated selection of swimwear. The full collection can be seen in the new Victoria's Secret Swim 2011 catalog hitting mailboxes this week, featuring 50 pages of eye-popping pix. Check out the gallery for a preview.

Mystery of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's New Victoria's Secret Campaign Solved

The British press has been rife with reports about stunning supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's sizzling new ad campaign for Victoria's Secret (above). The eye-popping shots have been making the rounds of the tabloid press as Huntington-Whiteley's stature grows in anticipation of her role in the upcoming flick Transformers 3; she also just landed on the cover of British Vogue. Not having heard of the new ads we did some research and discovered that the pix are in fact from a Body By Victoria campaign that she shot back in March 2010 with fellow Victoria's Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Chanel Iman and Lindsay Ellingson that somehow slipped under the radar. Of course, Huntington-Whiteley, who's said to be a cousin of the Queen of England, wasn't as famous then, though we were among the first to recognize her potential starting with this post back in 2008. You can thank us later; meanwhile feast your eyes on the rediscovered snaps from the famed lingerie firm.

Salma Hayek & Supermodels Party on St. Barths' Sexiest Superyacht

Roman Abramovich's Eclipse is bigger, Demi Moore's Philippe Starck-designed cruiser is cooler, and P. Diddy's floating iPad-controlled palace is more expensive, but the 161-ft. Destination Fox Harb'r Too was hands-down the sexiest superyacht in St. Barths over the New Year's vacation. It's not that there's anything terribly special about the Trinity-built vessel considering the competition; rather it has to do with who was onboard: Salma Hayek and stunning supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio (above) and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Hayek's billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault of the famed French luxury goods conglomerate reportedly footed the $250,000-per-week tab for the oceangoing extravaganza.

Destination Fox Harb'r Too was launched in 2008 with luxe accommodations for 11 guests in six spacious staterooms. The yacht is manned by a crew of 10 including a 5-star chef, three hostesses and a watersports guide. The split-level owner's suite features amazing 180-degree views and dual private en-suite baths. The Patrick Knowles Design interior is modeled on a European spa resort, featuring sophisticated fabrics, hand-carved glass and stone work, and acres of Honduran mahogany paneling with redwood burl, lacewood, and Macassar ebony accents. The sexy shipmates were in St. Barths for Abramovich's lavish New Year's Eve bash featuring the Black Eyed Peas.
