(CBS) - Former supermodel Stephanie Seymour proves she's still got it and isn't afraid to flaunt it.

The 42-year-old, a onetime Victoria's Secret Angel and "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit model, showed off her curves in a neon green bikini Monday while vacationing with her family in St. Barts.

The model raised a few eyebrows in January when a paparazzi photo showed her embracing and kissing her 18-year-old son, Peter Jr., which one tabloid site criticized as "strangely intimate."

Seymour explained the situation during an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last month and said her son was just comforting her during an insecure moment.

"I've gone through a lot in the past two years, and I gained a lot of weight, and it really upset me. So I spent two days indoors, and when I came out and finally decided to just go outside, my son was so happy to see me," she says. "He was wooing me and gave me a big hug and a kiss, and we had no idea that that one second would be turned into something that could ever be thought of as [inappropriate]. He's my baby. He's a gorgeous young man, but he's my baby."
