Two-time SI Swimsuit model Olivia Dunne has traveled to two incredible locations for her work with the annual magazine. Last year, she was featured in the publication as an athlete, and photographed in Puerto Rico. For the 60th anniversary magazine this May, Dunne was named a rookie and traveled to Porto and the North, Portugal.

While on location in the southern European country, Dunne rocked a selection of swimwear styles that were inspired by the trendy cottagecore and balletcore aesthetics. While most of the bikinis and one-pieces featured pastels, florals and feminine details, a few pieces brought to mind the edgier mood of her SI Swimsuit photo shoot in Puerto Rico last year.

This pick in particular, a girly crochet monokini in black, is the perfect example of cottagecore with an edge.

“Coming back for Year 2, I mean, last year I said it was a dream come true, and nothing’s changed,” Dunne told us while on set in Portugal earlier this year. “It’s still a dream come true. I can’t believe I can call myself a rookie. It feels unreal.”
