The former The Vampire Diaries star, 26, wore a pink bikini as she smooched the Whiplash actor aboard a yacht off the coast of the French Riviera. The pair gleefully slid down the boat’s inflatable waterslide and also hopped aboard a jet-ski. Stowell, who donned black swim trunks with yellow smiley faces, manned the vehicle as Dobrev clung to his waist. Dobrev also wore a striped one-piece suit while frolicking in the sun. Dobrev was in the French town for Leonardo DiCaprio‘s star-studded Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Gala. The gala, which raised more than $40 million for the environment, was attended by Kate Hudson and Elton John, among others.
