The model and daughter of singer Lionel Richie recently enjoyed a wedding shower and bachelorette party ahead of her upcoming nuptials to music executive Elliot, 30.

And on Monday she shared a snap from a plane as she came in to land over the beautiful turquoise water of the Mediterranean Sea in southern France.

The star later took to her Instagram Stories to repost pictures captioned with the bride and groom emojis by her friends, suggesting the wedding is taking place in the South of France.

The following day she looked in good spirits as she was spotted with Elliot, with the pair putting on a cosy display as they sunbathed in the European country.

Sofia, 24, donned a pink, blue and white string bikini, showing off her impressive figure as she relaxed in the warm sunshine.

She wore a white baseball cap with the numbers ‘2023’ emblazoned across the front to mark the year while she shielded her eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses.

Fashion designer Sofia was joined by a shirtless Elliot who wore a pair of cream swimming shorts for the outing.

He wore a pair of brown shoes and some circular rimmed sunglasses while he had a towel slung over his shoulder.

The couple were seen arm-in-arm as they enjoyed one another’s company, with Sofia looking lovingly into Elliot’s eyes.

They could be seen smiling and looked relaxed as they laid back on the sun loungers on offer at their accommodation.

Sofia took to her Instagram Stories to repost a number of photos posted by her friends who were with them on the trip.

Many of her pals captioned the pictures: ‘Here we go!’, adding the bride and groom emojis, hinting Sofia and Elliot’s wedding could be taking place any day now.

Sofia and Elliot got engaged in April last year after he proposed by candlelight at sunset.

She shared the good news on social media at the time with photos from the romantic proposal.

Showcasing her new diamond ring in a post, Sofia declared: ‘Forever isn’t long enough.’

The outdoor proposal went down at sunset with photos showing a shocked Sofia standing with her hands over her face as Elliot got down on one knee.

Elliot curated a romantic scene, placing himself and Sofia on a bed of white flower petals surrounded by dozens of cream coloured candles in glass vases.

Needless to say, the answer was yes. Sofia shared a snap from the big moment on social media followed by one of the pair sharing a kiss.

Sofia has now been with Elliot for two years after they were initially spotted in each other’s company in 2021 before going Instagram official in March that year.

Earlier this month, Sofia announced she had converted to Judaism ahead of her wedding Elliot.

The Christian-born model said she has had ‘one of the greatest experiences of my life’ as she was welcomed into the Jewish community.

Sofia converted ahead of her upcoming nuptials to Elliot, who is Jewish.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: ‘What a magical day. I want to thank cantor Nathan Lam for helping me along this journey of converting to Judaism.

‘It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Today was that day!!!’

Sofia was raised as a Christian and spent two years at a Christian school, Oaks Christian.

She previously told Complex of her upbringing: ‘ I went there for two years, and that’s where I got my sense. My family wanted church to be a place where we all went together.

‘My dad was always traveling and my mom was always working. School is where I did Bible classes and studied God.’

Elliot, meanwhile, is the son of Lucian Grainge, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group and had Take That play at his bar mitzvah.

He previously told the Jewish Boston: ‘Take That played at my bar mitzvah!

‘They were No. 1 in the UK at the time. The party was great fun and gave me a real taste of how to create an exciting party.’

Previously, Sofia was in a high-profile relationship with reality television personality Scott Disick, whom she began seeing in 2017. The two have a 16-year age gap.

The pair remained together for nearly three years before they broke things off in May of 2020.

The former couple reconciled that July, although they went on to separate for a final time in August.
