Courtney Stodden emerges from the sea in her swimwear as she pays homage to Eighties sex symbol Bo Derek

Clad in a gold bikini, with cornrows in her hair, Courtney Stodden goes back to the Eighties in a photoshoot paying tribute to iconic American actress Bo Derek.

The 17-year-old teen bride, who is married to 51-year-old Green Mile star Doug Hutchison, is seen strutting her stuff on the beach in California more than 30 years after Bo made her name in the 1979 romantic comedy, 10.

Of course Courtney put her own stamp on proceedings, opting for a gold two piece in place of Bo's slightly more conservative nude swimsuit.

Courtney strikes a series of provocative poses in the shoot.

In one frame she lounges around in the sand dunes, whilst looking lasciviously into the camera.

She also gets down on all fours to crawl around in the sand before splashing around in the ocean.

Courtney hit the headlines last year after marrying Hutchison aged just 16.

And the two women actually have quite a bit in common.

Back in her heyday, Bo Derek also hit the headlines - after striking up a relationship with married director John Derek - who was 30 years her senior - when she was aged just 16.

He filed for divorce from his wife Linda Evans and Bo and John moved to Germany to avoid him being charged with statutory rape under U.S. law.

The pair then moved back to the States two years later and marred in 1976, enjoying a 22-year marriage until his death from heart failure in 1998.
