The stunning two piece which was made of sparkly material was accented with gold rings on the bottoms and she wore a matching gold cuff to bring her ensemble together.
Alexis also struck a pose on a beach chair and put a girlie white flower in her hair as she smiled for the camera showing off her surgically enhanced assets that she has made no secret of having.
The mother-of-three showed that despite her strict moral values as a conservative Christian, she was still happy to show off her shapely physique.

Alexis is mother to three-year-old twin girls Melania and Mackenna and son James, who is five.
In other images, Alexis shows off her year round tan in a strapless white dress and poses next to a gleaming black Rolls Royce car, presumably to show off how wealthy she is.
The aspiring fashion designer married husband Jim Bellino in 2005 and the couple are said to have a rocky relationship but refuse to ever split up.
On Monday's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County that featured 'lost footage' of the past season, Alexis opened up about her divorce fears.

Keeping the family together: Alexis says that 'divorce is not an option' with her husband Jim Bellino despite their rocky relationship"
The couple had made a pact when they married that 'divorce is not an option' for them.
She said the reason 'divorce rings so hard in my head' is because of her own experience when her parents split.
'I probably freak out about divorce because of the fact that my parents got divorced... that's why Jim and I work so hard to keep our family unit number one.
'Because you think, "oh the grass is greener on the other side... if I get out of this marriage, my kids will be better."'
Troubled: Alexis said that she has lived on a diet of 900 calories a day and has suffered from eating disorders over the years"
Alexis has recently opened up for the first time about her life-long battle with food and has admitted that she has struggled with eating disorders since she was 12-years-old.
She told Life&Style magazine that she only eats 900 calories a day which is well below the recommended 2000 for women.
Family time: Alexis says she is devoted to her husband Jim Bellino and their three children and says that she will never get divorced as she still suffers the effects of her parents splitting up"
She says her problems first arose back in 1988 when her parents divorced. She recalled: 'I just didn't want to eat,' saying she believes it was in a bid to exert some form of control as her world fell apart.
By the time she was at university she began making herself sick after meals, remembering how she felt 'so heavy' at the time.
After the collapse of her first marriage in 2004 to Jeffrey Barry she finally decided to seek help and managed to stop purging.
