Halloween may still be three months away, but Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel is already getting into the costume spirit.

The 22-year-old shows off her world class curves in a series of sexy outfits for the lingerie line's new Halloween fantasy range.

The South African beauty is giving fans a preview of some ideas to go trick or treating in on October 31 and also showed off her amazing curves in the barely there costumes.

She showed off her endless legs in stockings and suspenders as well as her bare pins in the something for everyone photo shoot.

Her pert derrière is also on show in skimpy underwear that can be worn underneath the outfits.

Candice also confirmed that she was back to her best after her weight became a bone of contention earlier this year.

She was the subject of discussion when she worryingly lost a lot of weight and looked a shadow of her former self.

But Candice defended her dramatically slimmed down figure, insisting she is perfectly healthy.

The South African model insisted: 'I am healthy and happy.'

Swanepoel claims that she has difficulty maintaining a healthy weight because of her hectic work schedule.

'Actually, this year my problem has been more putting the weight on and getting muscle on because it's been really busy,' she told U.S. television's ABC News during New York Fashion earlier this year.

'I've been travelling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I'm very busy.'

And she never saw a problem with her weight, even at her very skinniest.

'I am healthy and happy,' Swanepoel told American magazine, People in April. 'I'm heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case, everything is normal and good.'

In the three months since the startling swimwear shoot, Swanepoel has thankfully listened to her critics and gained some much-needed pounds to get her back to a healthy weight.

On her modelling card by agency IMG, her statistics are given as 33-23-34 and a US dress size 8 (UK size 12), and she finally seems to be nearing that size again.

The model shot to fame at the age of 15 when she was spotted by a scout at a Durban flea market and has since appeared on the covers of Vogue and Elle, in Diesel, Nike and Guess campaigns.

She has also walked the runways for the world's top designer's including Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce and Gabbanna and Diane Von Furstenberg.

Last year, the stunning blonde has earned herself a spot at number ten on the Forbes World's Top-Earning Models list, with estimated earnings of $3 million over the past 12 months.

She won the coveted role of a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2010, following in the footsteps of international beauties such as Giselle Bundchen and Heidi Klum.

The blonde beauty is currently dating fellow model Hermann Nicoli who she has been with for five years.

She spoken about her ideal night in with her lover which she says would involve 'an evening at home relaxing, watching a movie on the couch and eating a home-cooked meal'.
