Davina completed her look with diamond jewellery and towering Perspex platforms as she worked her angles for the camera in one shot from March 2014.
She wrote: ‘On top of the world right now,’ while showing off the gong from the International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness’ Australian Amateur Bodybuilding Grand Prix.
In another snap, she penned that she was ‘sad’ the competition was over, but excited to compete in three bikini contests in a row later that month.
‘Back home in Brisbanetown and a little sad that #fitx is all finished,’ she wrote.
‘But lucky for me I have decided to do 3 bikini comps back to back so this time next week I will be on stage in Sydney for the IFBB Australasians.’

The reality star, who has been keeping a low profile since hitting the headlines for her affair on MAFS with co-star Dean Wells, has also competed in Las Vegas.
She revealed her first competition abroad was in the States and was entirely paid for by her sponsors.
‘My first overseas trip was completely paid for and just so happened to be in Vegas for the biggest bodybuilding show on the planet,’ she told Ballin On A Budget TV in 2014.

Davina, who has appeared in Playboy and the cover of Zoo magazine, also runs a fitness camp in Bali and admitted she would get recognised sometimes.
‘It’s funny because I don’t think I’m all that special, but I forget that there are thousands of people that follow my life!’ she gushed.
‘Last time I was in Bali I was talking to a few people I had just met, yet they could tell me almost everything I had done for the last month!’
Rankin admitted she’d had a ‘few proposals’ at events but hadn’t received a ‘decent ring yet.’

Davina celebrated the meeting on Twitter, writing at the time: ‘One of the most down to earth athletes you will ever meet #MonsterEnergy #afterparty #MotoGP.’

Davina has faced furious backlash since plotting to couple up with Dean Wells – the husband of her co-star and ‘favourite’ girl in the experiment Tracey Jewel.
During a tense confession couch session, Tracey was left blindsided by Dean and Davina after their secret relationship came to light.
In a bizarre twist, Dean revealed to Tracey that his forbidden meeting with Davina had made him realise how much he wanted to make his marriage last.
Trying to explain his actions to his heartbroken wife, Dean said: ‘I had a complete turnaround and went, ‘What am I doing?’ I need to be with Tracey. I need to make an effort with this.’
