PHOTOSViva La Diva! 'RHONY' Star Luann De Lesseps Shows Off Her Incredible Bikini Body In Mexico — Photos
Far from the blustery winter temps in The Big Apple, Luann de Lesseps was spotted soaking up the sun south of the border this week.
While vacationing in Tulum, Mexico, The Real Housewives Of New York star showed off her incredible bikini body, rockin' a barely-there white two-piece featuring a triangle top and side-tie bottoms.
The 55-year-old left her shoulder-length, brunette tresses down as she took a dip in the crystal blue water.
A MILESTONE! CELEBS WHO WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO RECEIVE THE COVID-19 VACCINE
This isn’t the reality starlet's first tropical getaway this year, despite the ongoing global pandemic. Last month, de Lesseps found herself in hot water when she posed for pictures without a mask on at a party in Coral Gables, Fla., alongside with friends including former Real Housewives of Miami alums Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria.
The backlash was swift, as it was reported that filming of the new season of RHONY had to be shut down recently because one of her fellow cast members tested positive for COVID-19.
Insiders were said to be outraged that the former Countess seemed to be putting the production further at risk.

The "Viva La Diva" singer later defended her activities saying that the organizers of the party had required a negative COVID test for each guest before the event and insisted that she had been wearing a mask at the party.
“I took the mask off for some photos,” she told Page Six. “Knowing everyone had tested negative, I felt comfortable doing that.”
The drama doesn't seem to be getting de Lesseps down, as she has a new man in her life to keep her smiling. The twice divorced, mom-of-two recently confirmed on the podcast "Ex Appeal" that she was dating personal trainer Garth Wakeford.
The brunette beauty revealed that she met her beau the new-age way — on Hinge: “We actually met on the dating app… He lives locally in the Hamptons.”
The cabaret star admitted that when she first saw his pics on the app, her first thought was, “Oh, he is too good to be true,” but when they met for coffee — with masks on — she said, “Oh, my God! He’s exactly what he looks like on the app.”
The lovebirds have been seeing each other for a couple months on-the-low.
“Garth is a former rugby player from South Africa. He’s tall, handsome, and even overshadows Luann, who at 5' 10" — without heels —intimidates people!," a source exclusively told OK!. "They have been unambiguous about flaunting their romance around the Hamptons and were spotted sipping cocktails outside at the East Hampton Grill, a swanky restaurant, with friends as far back as September."
