She also shared a photo taken at Bondi Beach, revealing the bikini perfectly matched a shirt from her own fashion label Henne.

Nadia’s fans praised the businesswoman’s stylish beach look and figure, saying it was “mum goals” and “perfection”.

Also on Monday, Nadia shared a photo of her view while doing the famous Coogee to Bondi coastal walk.

Nadia Bartel returned to Instagram in October, six weeks after video emerged of her snorting white powder during an illegal home gathering while Melbourne was in lockdown.

The businesswoman swiftly issued an apology for the video after it circulated online, saying she was “embarrassed and remorseful” about the incident.

“I have let you all down by my actions,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I take full responsibility and I am committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure I make better choices in future.”

Despite facing heavy public scrutiny over the incident, which saw Nadia and other attendees fined $5452 for breaching stay home orders, the Melbourne influencer appears determined not to retreat from the spotlight.

Aussie public relations expert Nicole Reaney told news.com.au Nadia’s scandal was a “lesson for anyone that relies on their profile for an income”.

Nadia and Jimmy Bartel split suddenly in 2019.

“A significant social following comes with less control of what information becomes available to the media and the public,” Ms Reaney said.

The video saw Nadia dumped as spokeswoman for brands like JS Health, a move Ms Reaney said companies “needed to do in order to avoid the impact to their brand values”.

Rising to prominence as a marketing advertising account manager turned fashion blogger, Nadia was married to Geelong Cats player Jimmy Bartel.

But the couple split suddenly in 2019 amid speculation about a trip he had taken to London where his later girlfriend Lauren Mand had been living at the time.
