Four-time SI Swimsuit model Christen Harper traveled to Portugal for this year’s 60th anniversary issue, and it may just be our favorite feature of hers yet. The California native has also posed for the publication in Atlantic City, Barbados and Dominica, earning the Swim Search co-winner title and co-Rookie of the Year honors in 2021 and ’22, respectively.

While on set in coastal European country, the 31-year-old newlywed was styled in looks that were inspired by port-side Riviera fishing. One suit in particular, a red-and-white striped bikini by Hunza G, really nailed the theme.
