If she ever wanted to give up her acting gig, Naya Rivera certainly would have a promising career as a bikini model.
The Glee star looked simply sensational as she hit the sands of Malibu on Thursday.
The 26-year-old showed off her incredibly toned figure in a fun and flirty strapless floral bikini.

There was not an inch to pinch on the singer and actress as she frolicked around the surf.
Featuring a scalloped-style top and tie bottom, Naya's swimsuit complemented her well-honed figure, a result of hours at the gym.
A simple pair of Aviator sunglasses shielded her eyes from the sun and she wore her long dark hair out in a straight style.

Naya is regularly seen at Malibu beach or she lives in Venice nearby.
The stunning star has recently been promoting her new album Sorry, which features her boyfriend Big Sean.
But Naya is best know for her character Santana on the hit TV show Glee.
Recently Naya revealed how proud she was of her show for including a strong lesbian character.

In an interview with Complex magazine she said: 'Having gay characters makes a difference, especially when you are a teenager and you need people to look up to.
'Your world feels so small. The tiniest thing can make you think, ''I’m gonna die!'' I’m glad Glee is around for people dealing with something that big in such a small world. It’s important.'
Naya did say however, when she had to kiss Heather Morrision - who plays her best friend and girlfriend Britanny - it was a bit odd.

'Kissing a girl was a little awkward just because we had a million grips, and all the guys wanted to visit the set that day. Heather and I just laughed it off,' she said.
Despite her incredible looks, Naya said she struggled to get a date in high school and revealed that even her prom date was a disaster.

'He started talking about how skinny I was [and] all of his friends were like, ''You need a thick girl.''
He was grinding on every other girl at the dance while I sat alone at the table, looking like a señorita. I didn’t even dance. It was horrible.'
But now on a hit show, and with her first movie coming out, Naya plans to get her revenge.
'Best believe I’ll be at that reunion though,' the brunette beauty said.
The actress - who is the daughter of a model and boasts Puerto Rican, German and African American heritage - does not have the same problem with meeting men now and is currently dating rapper Big Sean.
'He’s a sweetheart, but he’s not a little b****,' she said while revealing he 'cried super hard' when watching Santana’s coming-out episode of Glee.
Despite their busy schedule the pair do everything they can to make time for each other.
'With anything that you want, you’ll work at it and make the time for it,' Naya said.
And her boyfriend Big Sean agrees his girlfriend is worth scheduling time for. He has said: 'She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s one of those people that you can connect to, and I think she’s going to be a superstar.'
Naya recently went back to work on the set of Glee as the cast and crew have been mourning the loss of their co-star Cory Monteith.
Monteith was found dead July 13 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
An autopsy revealed the popular actor died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol.
