14 tattoos! Aussie supermodel Catherine McNeil incredible figure bikini curve in Bondi Beach

She may not be a big name over this side of the world yet - but she's bound to be soon.

Australian supermodel Catherine McNeil put on a stunning display during a photoshoot at Bondi Beach - close to where she was bought up in Brisbane - in two sizzling bikinis.

The 22-year-old is number 24 on model.com's list of Top 50 Models Women - tying with Victoria's Secret angel Alessandra Ambrosio, 30.

 

Enviable! Aussie supermodel Catherine McNeil showed off her incredible figure during a bikini photoshoot at Bondi Beach in Australia

Yesterday, photographers made the most of the balmy Australian summer and snapped the model in a number of poses.

In the first setting, Catherine is seen wearing a blue and green floral bikini top with what looks like a dress rolled down to her summer waist.

Lip service! The 22-year-old has obviously perfected her pout since winning Girlfriend magazine's Model Search competition in 2003 at age 14

 

Work of art! Catherine changed into a blue and white striped bikini for another pose and showed off some of her 14 tattoos

She sits on a chair with one leg tucked under the other and stares seductively at the camera.

Her hair is pulled back loosely to create a tousled beach look.

Catherine also dons a blue and white striped bikini.

 

Take a look at me now! Catherine also moved to some concrete steps where she struck several more poses

She is seen leaning back against a white wall showing off her endless legs and toned stomach.

Some of her 14 tattoos can be seen, including on her feet and torso.

She has already modelled for Dolce & Gabana, Versace, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli, Valentino and Balenciaga.

Chilling out! The model laxed back on this windowsill as she stared down the lens of the camera

She has appeared on numerous magazine covers including for Vogue, French Vogue and V.

She is often compared to fellow Aussie and Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr, 28, and took over from the mother-of-one as the face of swimwear brand Seafolly.

The pair both won model competitions for Australian magazines when they where barely in their teens - causing controversy in the industry.

 What's so funny? When the cameras weren't rolling, the model was in fits of laughter with the crew

Catherine won Girlfriend's model search in 2003 at the age of 14 while Miranda won Dolly magazine's search at age 13 in 1997.

Both women also went nude for the annual Pirelli calender last year along with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Daisy Lowe and Lily Cole.

Kathy Ward, of Chic Management - the pair's Australian agency - expressed surprise over the shoot and behind-the-scenes shots of the women in the nude.

And last year, Catherine featured in the new campaign for underwear brand Bonds, following in the footsteps of Miranda.
