Ellie Goulding shows off her sensational figure in a triangle bikini during Italian holiday after heading to Tracey Emin exhibition in Florence
The singer, 38, took to Instagram on Wednesday to give fans an insight into her Italian summer trip, including attending artist Tracey Emin 's Sex and Solitude exhibition in Florence.
Ellie started off her day by heading to the art exhibition - which runs until July 20 - at Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi.
She then stripped down to a skimpy bikini to bask in the Florence sun, displaying her impressively tone torso in a selfie.
Ellie also sported a pair of sunglasses as she pouted and pulled back her blonde locks in the snap.
She then shared snaps from later in the day where she changed into an elegant white satin floral dress, complete with lack lace trims.
It comes after Ellie shared a racy snap as she relaxed on a sun lounger on Monday, taking a selfie while lying on a blue striped towel and seen sporting a cream baseball cap.
In another snap shared the day before, Ellie's toned arms were on display as she stepped out in a white vest and low-rise pleated skirt.
She paired the chic ensemble with blacks stilettos featuring a gold brooch as she posed in a stone archway.
It comes just days after Ellie showed off her toned arms in an elegant linen dress as she arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club for day 11 of Wimbledon.
The British singer looked incredible in the £1,320 white and grey striped number by Tod's as she took her seat in the Royal Box alongside A-list guests at SW19 on Thursday.
Ellie showcased her toned arms - the result of her gruelling exercise regime - in the sleeveless dress which she teamed with a £1,100 grey handbag by the designer and matching summery heeled sandals.
Ellie flashed a beaming smile as she made her way into the Royal Box ahead of watching world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka facing U.S. 13th seed Amanda Anisimova on Centre Court for a place in the final.
Ellie has several connections to the royal family as she famously performed at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding reception in 2011 and attended reported ex Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle.

The Love Me Like You Do songstress is known to be close to Princess Eugenie, with it being said that the princess introduced Ellie to her now-estranged husband Caspar Jopling.
Ellie also sang at Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018, while the Princess and Jack were guests at Ellie and Caspar's wedding in 2019.
Elsewhere Leona Lewis, Emma Bunton, Lucy Boynton and Ashley Roberts all looked ethereal in white as they attended Wimbledon.
It comes after Elie looked incredible in black lace lingerie as she snapped a sizzling selfie in her social media dump which she posted to Instagram.
The singer showed off her rock hard abs in the skimpy two piece as she posed up a storm in the photograph taken in her hotel room.
The selection of recent photos showed her holidaying in New York, as well as hitting the recording studio and working out in the gym.
Ellie's stateside trip comes after she revealed the painful-looking results from a cosmetic treatment and sparked concern among her fans.
Ellie, who often bats away rumours she uses injectables such as Botox and filler, shared a shocking video on TikTok following a laser facial which left her skin red raw.
Sharing the results with her 1.7 million followers, the star captioned the clip: 'I give up trying to look snatched.'
Ellie, who shares four-year-old son Arthur with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling, added that she felt like she'd been 'attacked by a laser grill' following the procedure.
After sharing the immediate results of her treatment, fans rushed to the comment section to express their concern.

Conor Maynard reveals devastating health battle that has left him 'screaming in pain' after he was rushed to hospital by paramedics
Conor Maynard has opened up about the devastating health battle that has stopped the release of his new music and left him 'screaming in pain'. The Can't Say No hitmaker, 32, revealed on Monday why he released his single Runaway Man in May and then largely went to ground. Conor's disappearance from public life followed his revelation back in February that he had been rushed to hospital after falling down in his home. He told Instagram followers: 'So I thought I'd explain why I've been pretty quiet over the last few months, and why I released one song in May and then seemingly disappeared when the original plan was to post a string of songs for you guys. 'I posted earlier this year that I was experiencing issues with my back, and it has been quite the journey.' Alongside the post was a picture of the star being carried on a stretcher by paramedics and a snap of a cannula in his arm. Conor said that despite intending to release new music and visiting a chiropractor in a bid to solve his ongoing back problem, 'nothing improved'. The situation took another turn for the worse this weekend when he was left 'screaming in pain' because the pain in his back was so intense. He continued: 'Then I lost all the colour in my face which made my girlfriend panic so we called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital. 'The annoying thing about this kind of injury is that there isn't much that can be done immediately other than try to manage the pain, and then make more long term recovery attempts. 'Right now it's looking like surgery is the only option but obviously that's kind of scary.' Conor added: 'It really has affected by life in so many ways. 'Filming music content is nearly impossible as I can't lift or move any of my lights, even holding a camera up is too heavy.' After revealing that he has a bulging disk in his back, Conor, pictured with his girlfriend Kitty Bertrand, said that while he has a 'long' recovery journey ahead of him, he is hoping to release new music as 'soon' as he can. The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced and he has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced. He has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed on Instagram that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand. However, a subsequent DNA test confirmed in March that he was not the child's father. Conor subsequently appeared on This Morning to explain the toll the paternity scandal had on him after Charlotte went on to say she doubted the accuracy of the test. He said: 'I was instantly painted as a dead-beat dad. My comments on my social media were all about that.' Conor added: 'Mental health is something I have struggled with for a huge portion of my life. 'And this year has been up there with my battle with it.'

Poem of the week: Sea-Fever by John Masefield
Sea-Fever I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by. And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying. I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over. My poetry-reading these days falls into two main categories, discovery and re-discovery. But sometimes they overlap. Discovery doesn't dawn only from new poets and collections. Dusting off work I'm supposedly familiar with can suddenly reveal new perspectives, especially with a good editor as guide. Last week I re-read John Masefield as the result of a conversation with a writer-friend who gives readings to groups of adult-newcomers to poetry, often bringing well-known hits into his playlist. We soon got into a conversation about John Masefield's Sea-Fever (tried, tested but, we agreed, far from tired) and he raised a question about the first line: should it be 'I must go down to the seas again' or 'I must down to the seas again'? I wasn't sure; he wasn't sure. I checked in at home with the almost eponymous Sea-Fever: Selected Poems, edited by Philip W Errington, published in 2023. Errington has re-printed the poem as it appeared in Masefield's first collection, Salt Water Ballads, 1902, where the word 'go' is also omitted. The 'saltiness' in these early poems is often supplied by the mariners' dialect as they discuss death at sea, whether by shipwreck or as the result of yellow fever. When Masefield's poetic persona is close to himself, any lingering saline trace of dialect is washed by an inflowing fresh water tide of romantic longing. The sea is an image of seemingly free movement, and poems like The West Wind and Sea-Fever itself convey that double-expanse: the ever-moving sea and wind, and the human freedom these elements can symbolise. Less specific than some of the poems about the technicalities of sailing, Sea-Fever is a picture made of verbs, assonance, and the conjunction 'and', woven into the rhythmic strokes of a seven-beat line that joins what would be two lines in a traditional ballad. In each of the Sea-Fever quatrains, two couplets share a shanty-like call-and-response. The first ends firmly on the final stress ('sky', 'by'/ 'tide, 'denied'/ 'life', 'knife') while the second revises the rhythmic emphasis with feminine endings ('shaking', 'breaking'/ 'flying', 'crying'/ 'fellow-rover', 'over'). Herring-gulls are constantly 'crying' in that long 'i' sound. But a word with a short 'i' ('trick') is the clinching effect in the last line: as so often, the voyage concludes with death, but the characterisation of life as 'the long trick' is what stands out, suddenly intruding on those cliches of 'quiet sleep' and 'sweet dream' with an unforeseeable adjective-noun combination: 'And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.' But what of that first line, and the word 'go' – added for the first time in Ballads and Poems, 1910, present in the 1922 Selected Poems, lacking in the 1923 Collected Poems, but back in place in the revised Collected Poems in 1946? Errington quotes from Linda Hart's A First Line Mystery published in The Journal of the John Masefield Society in 1993: 'When asked, in 1927, about the first line of the poem, Masefield stated '… I notice that in the early edition, 1902, I print the line 'I must down'. That was as I wrote the line in the first instance … When I am reciting the poem I usually insert the word 'go'. When the poem is spoken I feel the need of the word but in print 'go' is unnecessary and looks ill.'' From Masefield's comments, it seems he found 'I must down to the seas again' unnatural to speak, but that he preferred it to the less jinglingly dactylic rhythm that 'go' created on the page. 'I must down' is literary, antiquated diction for 1902. The omission of the preposition has distinguished idiomatic ancestry, though. There's a similar turn of phrase from Shakespeare in King Lear, when Lear says to Cordelia: 'Come, let's away to prison …' The noticeable jolt in Sea-Fever from the reference to 'the vagrant gypsy life' is explained in another illuminating editorial note. In manuscript drafts the poem begins, sea-less, 'I must go down to the roads again' or 'I must out on the roads again'. Those discarded 'roads' might have led Masefield to the kenning-like 'gull's way' and 'whale's way'. Perhaps the freedom of the sea and that of the open road and the community of the travellers remained joined together in Masefield's imagination. By omitting the all-too-necessary 'roads', the Wolverhampton-based poet of the new 20th century expresses the hallucinatory quality of his longing for what had been a mixed blessing at the time, the life of a sailor. His first impulse, to avoid the pedestrian 'go down', is the right one. He is murmuring to himself as if in a fever-dream: 'I must down to the seas again …'
