A pal mirrored her pose beside her as the sun fell across their blonde hair.
The racy shot seemed to be fuelled by passion fruit martinis and champagne as the friends had an ice bucket full of the stuff close by.
Earlier in the day Ellie lounged around in a pink vest top, which had a Barbie badge pinned to it, and matching shorts.
Her friend coordinated in a see-through visor, shirt and trousers.

The photodump contained pictures of Ellie modelling a Spice Girls inspired outfit indoors.
She showed off her bum in a red mini skirt with the word ‘wannabe’ emblazoned on the bum in large white letters.
She matched it with a white T-shirt featuring the Union Jack on the front and a black choker.
The collection was a hit with fans, with one writing: “I love it, so stunning!!!”
Another said: “Really beautiful.”
A third posted: “Queen.”
The pop star has been on a journey of self discovery after splitting from husband Caspar Jopling earlier this year.
She had a brief fling with a surf instructor on a well-being trip to Costa Rica but has since been seen hugging Caspar in London.
The marital issues appear to have poured into her new music.
Easy To Love Me, which Ellie debuted at London’s Royal Albert Hall backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, hints at the reason behind their separation.
On the track, she sings: “Every mistake I made was the last one, yet you still fight for us.
“I know it’s not easy to love me but I’m yours if you want me.
“I know it’s not easy to love me but I’m yours, so completely.

“I tried to soak up all the water you had to wade through just to reach me.”
Later on in the track, she continues: “Maybe I’m too much for you. All the questions, they hurt my head.
“Finally found something true I might lose, but you know I’ll be there.”
Speaking about penning the song with Jack Rochon, who worked on Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album, Ellie said: “We wrote this, but it’s what I do — I write from the heart and I write what I’m feeling and think about the consequences afterwards.”

After the spellbinding concert, Ellie celebrated with royal pals Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.
Ellie said: “I’m writing a new album. I’m hoping it will be out this year.
“I’ve been working pretty hard and it’s sounding good.”
This year marks 15 years since her debut single Under The Sheets was released, and she used her time on stage to reflect on her career.
The Miracle singer said: “I’ve been doing this for a while and it keeps bringing new surprises.
“I feel like I’m so grateful for the ups and downs of my career and the rollercoaster it’s been.
“There’s always something weird and different around the corner.
“It’s never been straight- forward and it keeps things spicy and interesting.”
