Just one year after giving birth to her first child, Mission Impossible 4 actress Paula Patton has slipped back into a string bikini.
The Los Angeles native was joined by her husband, R&B singer Robin Thicke, today as she strutted around the beach in Miami, Florida.
Wearing a tiny brown string bikini and Chanel sunglasses, Paula, 35, showed off her curves as she frolicked in the water.
Later, the svelte star drew looks of admiration as she took a break from working on her tan and relaxed under an umbrella.
In April of 2010, the actress and her Grammy Award-winning husband, who is the son of actor Alan Thicke, welcomed their first child, a son named Julian Fuego.
Paula is in Miami this weekend promoting her latest films, at the 15th annual American Black Film Festival.
The actress won critical acclaim in 2009 for breakout role as a concerned teacher in the gritty, Academy Award-winning film Precious.
The star, who attended film school at the University of Southern California has recently seen her career soar.
In May, she starred in the urban comedy, Jumping the Broom which cost just $6 million to make and earned nearly $40 million.

With her ultra curvy figure, tiny green bikini, and long blonde hair, former Playboy model Shauna Sand certainly made an impression as she hit the Miami beach today.
The 39-year-old model showed off her somewhat striking figure in the itsy bitsy two piece, which left little to the imagination.
The former Playmate splashed around in the surf, at one point even running into the sea, revealing an ultra toned figure.
The green bikini also showed off the model's deep tan to optimum effect.
But there was no sign today of Sand's 25-year-old husband Laurent Homburger, following recent reports that the pair were getting a divorce after just one year of marriage.

He's known for his tactile manner but Russell Brand will raise more than a few eyebrows with these shots of him holding a pretty girl's hand.
The reformed lothario, 36 , is on set in Miami where he's filming new movie Rock of Ages, and the fair haired maiden is clearly a crew member.
Russell is given to such displays of warm affectionate towards people that such tender gestures largely go unnoticed.

But the fact that the pair of them were holding in hands today in a manner normally reserved for romantic couples is striking.
It comes hot on the heels of news that Brand's wife of eight months, pop sensation Katy Perry, is extending her tour well into November.
A source told the Mail: 'Katy has only four days off until the end of September, when she’s in Brazil.’

The pair are even have even put their L.A home in trendy Los Feliz on the market, with friends reporting it is empty most of the time.

When Brand delivered his best man's speech at rock legend Noel Gallagher's wedding at the weekend in England, Perry, 26 , was unable to be by his side.

Brand is said to have brought the house down by affectionately lampooning the former Oasis great, and telling stories about his new wife, Sara McDonald.
