Bikini Made From 300 Pieces of Chocolate

As a former Miss France, Cindy Fabre must have been used to modelling all sorts of wacky outfits.

But wearing more than 300 chocolates carefully sculpted together into a gladiator-style bikini must have been a first.

The striking - and yet pretty impractical - outfit took hours to construct but would have melted in minutes.

However it cetrainly achieved the desired effect, setting men's hearts racing and women's mouths watering.

Fabre, who became the 51st Miss France in 2005, wore the unusual getup as part of the 'Salon du Chocolat,' a yearly trade fair for the international chocolate industry, this year held in Aix en Provence.

The dress was designed by Benjamin Brass and constructed by Puyricard, a locally-based artisan chocolate company.

They used more than 300 pieces of chocolate including chocolate truffles, chocolate hearts and caramel filled chocolate bites to make the outfit, and even covered the Fabre's shoes with the confectionary.

The model accessorised with a huge chocolate bangle and some brown feathers in her hair.

She posed with a selection of metal bowls and whisks that are typically used to make the sweet treats.

Ever the professional, Fabre also did not give away how cold the temperature in the room must have been while she posed. Chocolate melts at body temperature so Fabre's surroundings must have been considerably colder.

Fabre succeeded Lætitia Bléger as the 51st Miss France on December 4, 2004.

She also represented France in the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants the following year.
