They say the best things come in small packages.

And Fantasy Ride star Ciara certainly proved this was the case as she showed off her body in a tiny bikini sure to make other beach-goers faces turn pink with envy.

The Get Up singer, 25, looked sensational as she pranced around the beach in the sparkly two-piece, taking advantage of the wonderful weather in Miami Beach in Florida.

Unfortunately for fans of the part-time model, she seemed to have left her puppies at home.

The glamorous R'n'B star was spotted in Los Angeles stroking her new pets last week, but maybe she had second thought about taking them to the beach before they are trained.
Or perhaps she did not want to risk the little cuties taking any of the attention away from her wonderfully toned physique.

The singer recently revealed her secrets to staying in shape - namely that watching what you eat is more important than how much you exercise;

'85 percent of it is what you eat, and 15 percent of it is how you work out,' she told Entertainment Tonight.

'Dancing-however you do it, even if it's in your living room - is a great workout.'

However, the Basic Instinct star also admitted she sometimes gives in to temptation.

'Food is fun,' she said. 'I have moments when I want to eat pizza or a hamburger - I'm not going to drive myself crazy.'
Meanwhile, there was no sign of Ciara's reported new boyfriend, NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire.

Maybe he was in the dog house and tried to be a good boy by staying at home and looking after the pups.
