Poppy Delevingne, 40, showcases incredible bikini body one year after welcoming first baby

Poppy Delevingne has left fans doing a double take after showcasing her incredible figure in a series of sultry bikini photos from her latest sunshine escape.

The 40-year-old model looked sensational as she modelled a black bikini trimmed with delicate pink ribbon detailing in a campaign shared by swimwear brand Debute. Poppy was also pictured in a classic white bikini while posing against a rustic stone wall, wearing a flower tucked behind one ear.

Clearly impressed by the flattering design, Poppy commented beneath the post: “Would like to be buried in this bikini.”

Her followers were equally enamoured with the look, flooding the comments section with praise. One fan declared: “Goddess,” while another wrote: “Holy hell.” A third simply added: “Wowwww.”

Becoming a mum changed everything

Poppy’s latest photos come just over a year after she welcomed her first child, daughter Kaia Moon Keswick, with her partner Archie Keswick.

The couple, who began dating in early 2024, surprised fans when they announced they were expecting, but Poppy has since described becoming a mother as one of the greatest joys of her life.

Speaking to Elle UK before Kaia’s arrival, she admitted she felt incredibly fortunate to become a mum.

“It just feels like such an extraordinary privilege to be able to do this, to be able to have a baby at this age and at this time,” she said. “When it happened, I couldn’t really believe it. It still feels really surreal.”

She also revealed her excitement at welcoming a daughter. “She really is all I’ve ever wanted,” Poppy shared. “I’m so excited. I come from all girls, we’re very girl heavy. Girls are great.”

A new confidence in her body

Motherhood has also transformed the way Poppy views her body after spending decades in the fashion industry.

Reflecting on her pregnancy, she told The Times that it gave her a freedom she had never experienced during her modelling career.

“The norm when I was modelling was just to be skinny. I was always aware of what I ate and suddenly it was such a joy to be like, ‘I don’t have to go to the gym.'”

She laughed as she recalled one particular pregnancy craving. “My first craving was cake and I ate cake every single day for the duration of my pregnancy and I loved the freedom of being able to do that.”

Rather than wanting to return to her pre-pregnancy figure, Poppy admitted she embraced the changes.

“Now I’ve got this big bum, these mammoth boobs and I don’t want to lose them. I’ve got a whole new body. I feel really sexy.”

Pilates is her workout of choice

Although Poppy has previously joked that she prefers “the laziest form of exercise possible”, she has long been a fan of Pilates.

“I will always opt for the laziest form of exercise possible. Anything that involves lying down is perfect,” she previously joked.

“I’m obsessed with Pilates, possibly because I’m mainly horizontal for the whole class.”

She also admitted she prefers exercising alone, adding that she’d rather avoid awkward gym encounters than make small talk while “looking like a sweaty tomato”.

The model was previously married to businessman James Cook, with the pair separating in 2022 after eight years of marriage. She has since found happiness with Archie, and the couple are now enjoying life with their young daughter while Poppy continues to embrace this new chapter with confidence.
