La Dolce Vita: Hilary Duff shows off her trim bikini body as she lives it up on holiday in Italy

They have been married for almost a year.

But Hilary Duff and husband Mike Comrie looked like newlyweds as they basked in the sunshine in Capri, Italy this week.

The 23-year-old singer and actress showed off the results of her almost daily gym workouts, looking toned and svelte in a skimpy black bikini.

Hilary climbed out to the rocks and posed for holiday pictures as Pittsburgh Penguins hockey player Mike, who remained clothed in a grey T-shirt and shorts, snapped away.

Material Girls star Hilary's tiny tattoo on the right side of her ribcage was visible in her tiny two-piece. The inking says 'ma petite amie,' which translates to 'my little friend.' She also has 'Let it be' etched on her right foot.

The couple, who tied the knot in July last year, have been living it up on the picturesque island during their pre-anniversary getaway.

After sunbathing on the rocks, Hilary slipped on a black cotton sun dress to walk back to the couple's luxury hotel.

It's not all luxuriating in the sunshine though. The couple have been pictured taking in the sights of Capri.

With Hilary dressed in an army green T-shirt and Daisy Dukes, they wandered around the town, stopping to ask a passer-by to take their picture in front of a spectacular ocean backdrop.

Bikini body: Hilary, a regular at her local gym and a Pilates enthusiast, showed off the results of her hard work with a toned and trim figure

Later they zipped around town on a bright yellow scooter.

With the temperature hitting 28 degrees Celcius (83F) during their stay, Hilary has been keeping her clothing to the bare minimum in bikinis and tiny denim cut offs.

The former teen queen, who has ventured into fashion and also penned a novel, didn't need to do much to ensure her figure was bikini-ready.

She is a regular at her gym, often seen there several times a week - but Hilary admits she goes through lazy stages like anyone else.

'I work with a trainer named Harley Pasternak and I do a lot of Pilates,' she told Us Weekly in April. 

'I'm just like everyone else. I go through stages where I feel super motivated and want to work out every day, and then I won't work out for two or three weeks and I'll feel like s***. Then it's time to hop back on the wagon again.'
