Sara Sampaio Shines in Black Bikini on Italian Beach Vacation

Sara Sampaio Sizzles on Italian Getaway: Victoria's Secret Angel Shows Off Scorching Bikini Bod and Shares Bittersweet Superman Memories

In a sizzling social media post that left fans gasping, former Victoria's Secret Angel Sara Sampaio has unleashed her stunning summer vibes from the picturesque island of Sardinia in Italy. The 34-year-old Portuguese beauty is currently basking in the glory of her blockbuster film Superman, which has raked in an impressive $600 million worldwide.

As she soaked up the Mediterranean sun, Sampaio shared a series of sultry snaps that left her fans weak in the knees. Clad in a skimpy black bikini with gold buttons adorning her triangle top and string bottom, Sampaio's toned physique was on full display for all to see. Her long, dark hair, glistening from the ocean spray, cascaded down her back as she walked out of the sapphire blue waters, looking like a goddess straight from the pages of a fashion magazine.

The model and actress, known for her striking features and captivating on-screen presence, seemed to be reveling in the success of Superman. In an Instagram post, Sampaio jokingly captioned one photo: "Last photo is me as Eve." The reference was clear – she's playing the role of Eve Teschmacher, a member of the LutherCorp inner-circle in the DC Extended Universe.

The Superman actress has been vocal about her admiration for the character and shared an interview with V Magazine where she gushed about getting the audition. "I remember getting the audition and thinking 'Oh my god, I know exactly who this character is'," Sampaio recalled. "There's no way I'll ever get this, it will probably go to someone with more experience."

Her connection with Eve was instant, and she connected the dots between her on-screen persona and the original Superman movies. "I love superhero movies, and Superman is the superhero of superheroes," Sampaio confessed. "Getting the call that the part was mine felt surreal." She even referenced the iconic duo from the 1978 film – Christopher Reeve as Superman and Valerie Perrine as Eve.

Sampaio continued: "Even though she's quite a different Eve than the original Superman movies, I really wanted to keep the childlike nature and kindness that you see in her from the original movies." This dedication to character development is a testament to Sampaio's acting chops and her willingness to delve into complex roles.

But it wasn't just about work – Sampaio also took time to unwind on the luxurious island, sharing snaps of her glamorous dinner with friends. The beautiful company included fellow models Kelsey Merritt, Taylor Bryant, and Jasmine Tookes, who is expecting her second child with husband David Juan Borrero. The group's Instagram stories showcased their friendship and bonding moments at one of Sardinia's high-end resorts.

The island getaway seemed to be the perfect escape for Sampaio, who has been enjoying quality time with her friends amidst the sun-kissed Mediterranean scenery. As fans flocked to her social media posts, they couldn't help but swoon over her stunning summer looks and her dedication to her craft.
