Gemma Styles braved cold waters as she shared throwback snaps from a lavish holiday to Austria.
The author and podcaster, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a carousel of pictures from her trip last month.
Gemma, the older sister of pop superstar Harry Styles, was glowing in a selfie where she took with a stunning backdrop of a lake and the mountains.
She posed for the snap in a navy thick strap swimsuit with a pair of tortoise sunglasses and wrapped in an orange towel.
In another snap she was beaming in a selfie with her friend Kim Butler after the pair enjoyed a swim out on the lake.
She captioned the snaps: ‘The afternoon off I spent in Austria last month is still living RENT FREE in my head ❄️.

‘(Swam out to the platform only to realise it was roped off for winter and suddenly the swim felt very far… I’m sure someone on LinkedIn could make that into a metaphor).’
Last year, Gemma candidly revealed how she struggled with suicidal thoughts amid her battle with depression.
She said that she was left feeling ‘hollow and unworthy’ and despite being ‘fiercely private’ has decided to share her story with her new book Why Am I Like This? in a bid to help others.
Gemma told The Mirror: ‘One of the things shown to have the most positive impact on people having suicidal thoughts or in the depths of depression is to share stories when you go “that happened to me. I felt like that, and I feel better now”‘.
‘I didn’t actively want to die but I so badly wanted to opt out of what my life had become it boiled down to the same longing’.
Gemma, who welcomed a daughter with partner Michal Miynowski earlier this year, went on to reveal that while currently feeling well, she fears that one day depression could return.
Saying: ‘In the back of my mind, sometimes I think that could happen to me again but I try not to dwell on it. I have come through it before and I could do it again’.
Gemma also revealed how her pop superstar brother Harry, 31, had supported her in her mental health struggles and has been a helpful hands-on uncle.

Gemma told The Sunday Times that even though the former One Direction member has been on a sell-out tour and can be found taking to the stage with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, he still finds the time to support her.
She revealed that Harry is a hands on uncle and even took on babysitting duties for her shoot with the newspaper, tagging along to look after his niece.
The singer has also been an important part of Gemma’s mental health journey and the writer revealed in the acknowledgements of her book that her younger brother gave her ‘pep talks’.
She thanked her mother, Anne Twist and ‘H for the pep talks and your endless wisdom’.
During the interview Gemma also revealed that her family are all very open about their mental health and she has found that comforting through the years.
And despite being the older sister she admitted that she doesn’t give Harry much advice as the whole Styles clan help each other out.
