Lily James looks gorgeous in a pink striped bikini as she poses on a boat during sun-soaked summer trip
And Lily James shared another look at her lavish trip on Tuesday as she posted a stylish snap posing on a yacht.
The Mamma Mia actress, 36, looked stunning in a striped pink and red strappy bikini which she wore with a sheer white linen skirt.
Another snap from her trip saw her putting on a busty display in a plunging white summer dress as she soaked up the sun.
Taking to her Instagram Story this week she also shared snaps enjoying some delicious local pasta and exploring the sights.
Though Lily didn't tag her location in her holiday posts the wine she was drinking was from Tuscany which suggests she may be enjoying her August in Italy.
The posts comes after last week Lily lifted the lid on her love life in a very sexy shoot for Who What Wear magazine.
While the leggy star kept tight lipped if she is dating anyone currently, she did disclose she isn't a fan of dating apps.
In the candid interview, the Hollywood actress - who tries to keep her relationships under wraps - admitted she feels 'self-conscious' to go on dating apps.
She said: 'I was always in relationships when the [dating] apps started. Now, I just don't know. I feel a bit self-conscious.
'I try to stay really private, as private as I can. To be on a dating app feels a bit counterintuitive to that desire.'
Lily also shared her fears for getting older, admitting her biggest change in her thirties has been realising 'life is finite'.
She added: 'I only want to do stuff that I really care about.
'I want to spend time with the people I love. I want to make the most of this wild and crazy life, so I only want to work on stuff that I really love. That's changed.'

The Tom & Pammy star was last romantically linked to musician Michael Shuman in late 2023.
It came after Lily hit back at Instagram moderators at the start of last week after one of her posts was removed by the social media platform for breaching community guidelines.
The British actress has been on location in the Canadian wilderness while filming Harmonia, a forthcoming thriller from director Guy Nattiv.
But she caught the eye of Instagram moderators after sharing an array of photos from the shoot, including one in which she and her co-stars appear to be completely naked.
The blurred shot - posted to celebrate the film's completion - captures Lily and five unidentified fellow actresses holding hands as they form a tight circle and gaze up at the sky, as if in worship.
Scheduled for release in 2026, Harmonia is inspired by the real life experiences of Nattiv's own grandmother and her connection to a bizarre cult in the 1980s.
The new film also features Carrie Coon, formerly of The White Lotus, The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey, and Odessa Young, who also features alongside Jeremy Allen White in forthcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere.
But Lily' apparent celebration of the shoot was cut short by Instagram, who removed the post in accordance with community guidelines regarding online nudity.

Evidently unhappy with the decision, she later posted: 'Instagram you deleted my last post … why…'

Love Is Blind UK star who was CUT from show revealed despite getting engaged in pods
A LOVE Is Blind UK star has revealed that they got engaged in the pods – though their connection wasn't seen on screen. The Netflix dating experiment returned last week with 15 new men and 15 new women entering the "pods" in a bid to find love with someone without ever seeing them. 5 5 Participants only get to meet their match once they get engaged – and from there it's a six week whirlwind to the finish line including romantic getaways, living together, and meeting loved ones. However, with so many connections there to be formed, not everyone gets to make it past the initial stages, even if they put a ring on it. Typically on a Love Is Blind season, up to five couples are followed past the initial stages. And one star – Ross Millington – has revealed he was one of the unlucky people who were halted from continuing the process. As TikTok blew up with analysing the first episode, one fan spoke about Ross's brief appearance on the show. While he was rarely seen in the pods, he was shown chatting with the lads in the men's lounge as he went through the process – speaking to Kai (who did make it through to the next stage) and Demola (who was snubbed by potential match Katisha in favour of Javen in the process). Ross, a 30-year-old barber shop owner at the time of the series being filmed, jumped in on one fans TikTok asking more about him. "That was me," he noted as she pointed him out. "I didn't make it to Greece unfortunately. Reveal went well though." Ross didn't elaborate further, but as he went through a "reveal" it is safe to assume he at least got engaged. A grab of the comment was later posted to Reddit, with fans dissecting who the lucky woman could be. Love Is Blind UK star storms off show and says 'get this mic off me' after branding co-star 'disrespectful' in fiery rant "Good thing he didnt make it to Greece, as they went to Cyprus," joked one. "I counted 2 guys and 2 gals during the "I'm engaged" scenes that had zero screen time," said another. "They are still around during those moments and I would assume they may have ended up as a couple but were not picked to go to Cyprus. "Makes you wonder if their connection was boring/lack of drama to not be picked over Javen and Katisha...." "I've never understood why they pick some and not the others and then don't edit it down more in post production if necessary," said a third. Love Is Blind UK continues Wednesday on Netflix. 5 5 5

Polari book prize cancelled after row over gender-critical novelist
A prize celebrating LGBTQ+ literature has cancelled its awards this year, after a row over the longlisting of an author who has described himself as a 'Terf' – the acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. From a total longlist of 24, 16 authors and two judges withdrew from this year's prize, and more than 800 writers and publishing industry workers signed a statement protesting against the inclusion of John Boyne, the author best known for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Polari said it had decided to 'pause the prize this year' while it increases 'representation of trans and gender non-conforming judges on the panels for all the awards' and undertakes 'a governance and management review', organisers wrote in a statement on Monday. 'What was supposed to be a celebration of exceptional LGBTQ+ literature has been overshadowed by hurt and anger, which has been painful and distressing for all concerned and we apologise to everyone who has been affected', it added. The prize organisers said they had had 'many conversations' with authors, judges, stakeholders and funding bodies about the impact of Boyne's longlisting and 'how we can learn from this experience and move forwards'. 'We are a tiny operation that has run on goodwill and small pots of funding and sponsorship for 15 years and will endeavour to find a way forwards in good faith', the statement concluded. Polari had previously told the Guardian that it was 'committed to going forward' with this year's prize. In a statement on 7 August, it said that Boyne had been longlisted 'on merit' and that it was 'inevitable' that 'even within our community, we can at times hold radically different positions on substantive issues'. The statement in protest against Boyne's longlisting, drafted in response to Polari's 7 August statement, said that the author had 'publicly and unequivocally associated himself with trans exclusionary sentiments', citing an Irish Independent article in which Boyne expressed support for JK Rowling and described himself as a 'fellow Terf'. Its hundreds of signatories included Alice Oseman, the author of Heartstopper, along with the writers Nikesh Shukla, Julia Armfield, Naoise Dolan and Seán Hewitt. Author Nicola Dinan, who won the Polari first book prize last year for her novel Bellies, resigned from this year's jury for the debut prize. Guardian journalist Jason Okundaye asked for his book Revolutionary Acts to be removed from this year's first book prize longlist, while Andrew McMillan withdrew his book Pity from the longlist for the overall Polari book prize for non-debuts, for which Boyne was also longlisted. Writing in the Guardian last week, Okundaye said that the prize had 'always been for the entire LGBTQ+ community', and so 'it is a contradiction to include someone who is trans-exclusionary'. In a response to the controversy, Boyne said that it seemed 'absurd and wrong' that debut writers who were withdrawing were losing an opportunity, and said that if they returned, he would ask judges not to consider his novella, Earth, for the shortlist. Writing in the Telegraph on Tuesday, he called Polari's decision to cancel the prize an 'interesting example of self-cancellation', and said that nobody from the prize had contacted him. 'Had they done so, perhaps a happier resolution might have been found'.
