Maisie shared a stunning snapshot of herself in a green bikini, which was taken by a mystery photographer. In the photo, the 21-year-old has her back to the camera as she holds her arms up in the air mid "boogie" while looking at her reflection in the glass doors in front of her.

She also shared two images on her grid which saw her again posing with her back to the camera while wearing a figure-hugging nude dress and wide-brimmed hat as she gazed out at her picturesque surroundings.
