Lindsay Lohan lets it all hang out in Saint Barts as she shops for a swimsuit

It’s all well and good strutting around the beach showing off your trim figure in a skimpy bikini.

But Lindsay Lohan could have chosen more suitable attire than a barely-there two piece for a bit of late night shopping.

The Mean Girls star is currently holidaying on the Caribbean island of St Barts where she has spent the last few days hanging out with friends and seeing in the New Year.

Yesterday she and her sister Ali spent the day aboard a yacht and sailed to the island’s main town of Gustavia where they hung out for the day, soaking up the sun.

Lohan started the day dressed in a long black vest over her swimsuit, which looked chic and stylish when topped off with a cream trilby and very high black wedged shoes.

But as the day progressed, Lohan, 23, ditched the cover-up and decided to spend the rest of the evening strutting around in her sexy two-piece instead.

And while her younger sister modesty covered her bottom half with a floral skirt, Lindsay had absolutely no qualms about showing off as much of her slender figure as possible.

The actress shopped for trinkets and souvenirs after spending the entire day in the town with her sibling and a small group of friends.

She had visited the town’s Louis Vuitton store earlier in the day where she tried on shoes and a swimsuit very similar to the one she was already wearing.
