Jackie Cruz, one of the stars of Netflix's Orange Is The New Black, is on vacation in Italy and the 30-year-old actress is putting her bikini body on display for all to see. Over the course of the past week, Cruz has treated her followers to a number of steamy snaps in which she showcases her curvy figure.

The first pic was a close-up selfie that Cruz snapped while out at sea. She shared the photo with the caption: "Naturale #italia2017."

The image shows Cruz, who portrays Marisol "Flaca" Gonzalez on OITNB, donning a red bathing suit top that featured a zipper over her chest. She unzipped the top down enough to reveal a glimpse of her ample cleavage while giving a smile and looking away from the camera.

Cruz then offered her followers a look at her full swimsuit. She was photographed standing in the clear blue water up to her knees while putting both hands up to her neck.

Jackie Cruz skyrocketed to fame in 2013 with her breakthrough role on Orange Is The New Black. She credits the gig with changing her life.

"Orange changed my world," she said during an interview with Teen Vogue in October of 2015. "And I'm so grateful and thankful and honored to be a series regular...Going from being a day player to a series regular was kind of a dream come true."

Not only is Jackie a talented actress, but she is also a gifted singer. She once considered giving up on her acting career when she thought there was a lack of diverse roles available for Latina women.

"After a while, I kind of gave up on acting and focused on music, which was what brought me to New York," she wrote in a piece for Refinery29. "But I missed acting so much that I decided to try for a random audition, which was for the role of Flaca on Orange Is The New Black, a Latina chick who listens to The Smiths."
