Kate Moss catches some rays and R&R in her bikini - in Brazil's party capital Rio Di Janeiro

She's hardly seemed to stop celebrating over the past few weeks, following her 37th birthday last month and recent engagement. But it seems as if the party's not quite over yet for Kate Moss - she's flown into Brazil's party capital Rio Di Janeiro. The supermodel jetted to the city at the weekend for a modelling assignment - and well as to soak up the sun with her family on the famous Copacabana beach.

However, life and soul Kate is a bit early for the city's famous carnival - that doesn't start this year until March 5. Kate has decided to turn the Vogue shoot with Mario Testino into a family holiday and has taken her eight-year-old daughter Lila Grace and fiancé Jamie Hince with her.

The fashionable trio strutted through Rio's airport, with Kate and Jamie were carrying enough designer luggage to cater for a much larger clan than just three. But the fashion icon will no doubt need hoards of outfits for her upcoming magazine shoot - and of course lots of skimpy bikinis. Lila Grace is clearly following in her mother’s designer footsteps and was wearing an outfit that we could expect Kate Moss to wear herself.

Lila walked alongside Kate in skin-tight grey jeans, matching charcoal Ugg boots and a simple white T-shirt and navy cardigan. And the mother-daughter duo even sported the same hair colour and cut. Moss opted for an all-black ensemble for her flight though as she clung onto a Chanel tote. Meanwhile, despite her husband-to-be’s dishevelled hair, he also looked smart in a grey tailored coat and slim-fitted jeans.

Once arriving in Rio, the trio headed out to a five star resort where Kate and Lila made the most of the hot weather by having swim in the hotel pool. Since leaving her reign at Topshop, Kate has not been left with any spare time in her schedule and had her new Longchamp shoot released last week. The British beauty posed for her eighth season as the face of the French luxury bag company during a photo shoot in Morocco for their spring/summer 2011 collection. Her current worth was recently estimated at around £45 million, but it seems the Croydon-born model isn’t set to retire any time soon.
