Kim Kardashian’s go-to hairstylist Chris Appleton flaunted his gym-honed figure in a tiny white Speedo while on the beach in Cannes this week.
The 41-year-old British hunk bared his ripped abdomen and bulging biceps while cooling off in the ocean.
He accessorized with a dark beaded necklace and narrow black sunglasses as he waded hip-deep in the sea.
Appleton — who recently transformed Kim’s mom Kris Jenner — took a swig from a glass water bottle at one point.
His short, sandy-colored hair was perfectly tousled and he sported a thin, scruffy beard while soaking up the sun solo.

On Thursday he engaged his Instagram audience of four million as he took to the app’s Stories feature to upload two posts.
One of them was a brief black and white video snippet showing him opening an invitation to the amfAR Gala.
The invite teased a performance from Adam Lambert and listed Taraji P. Henson as the host.Â
He tagged his location as Hotel Martinez — where Selling Sunset stars Emma Hernan and Jason Oppenheim were spotted days ago.Â
Appleton, who is dad to two adult children, also posted a mirror selfie as he prepared for his evening out in France.
His visage was covered in a rejuvenating face mask and he wore a plush white robe with the hotel’s logo.Â
Chris has been doing 44-year-old Kim’s hair for nearly a decade, and styled her raven locks as recently as last week when she was in Paris.
Sharing a video of the mom-of-four sporting a sleek and taut updo online several days ago, he wrote, ‘Last night in Paris, I wanted Kim’s updo to speak volumes—timeless, but with a strong edge to complement a look. Definitely a favorite.’Â

Nearly one week ago Chris used Instagram to mark his nine-year anniversary working with the SKIMS billionaire.
He said, ‘Nine years ago in Paris, Kim and I stared working together, and we created a moment that would set the tone for so many more to come.
‘Since then, we’ve shared a lifetime of transformations—on the outside and in. We’ve been through marriages, divorces & milestones.’
He added in the heartfelt note, ‘But through it all, I’ve had the privilege of standing beside someone who isn’t just beautiful, but loyal, strong, and real.
‘I’m so grateful for the friendship, the trust, and the memories we’ve made. And after all these years, still showing up—and still serving looks [heart-emoji].’
