Joely Richardson showed off her “Black Swimsuit” shape in the sea resort of Calvi, Corsica

Her latest film Red Lights was given a mixed response from critics when it hit cinemas earlier this month.

But like every thick-skinned actress, Joely Richardson hasn't let the critics get her down as she escaped to Corsica for some time out with her daughter.

The actress, 47, showed off her trim frame in a black swimsuit as she enjoyed a dip in the sea in the resort of Calvi.

Standing tall at 5ft 9in, no doubt the former Nip/Tuck star would have stood out from her fellow holidaymakers.

Accompanying her was her 20-year-old daughter Daisy, from her first marriage to producer Tim Bevan, who she divorced in 1997 after five years of marriage.

The actress was reading John Irving's latest novel In One Person, a story of 'unfulfilled love'.
