Model, content creator and clothing designer Cindy Kimberly continues to impress. After being discovered through a viral social media post in 2015, the 26-year-old Netherlands-born, Spain-raised celebrity has modeled in campaigns for notable brands like Pretty Little Thing, Juicy Couture and Playboy. She’s also appeared in issues of Vogue: Spain, Harper’s Bazaar and in 2022, added Sports Illustrated Swimsuit to her résumé.

In 2023, Kimberly launched her very own clothing brand, LOBA, sold exclusively at Revolve, and in 2024 she made her film acting debut in the thriller Lake George. For her feature for SI Swimsuit, she served as a rookie, posing for Ben Watts in the beautiful and sunny Barbados where she wore stunning one-piece and two-piece swimwear. Though her debut shoot was three years ago now, we’re still obsessed with her spring and summer-ready looks in the gorgeous photos.

Kimberly, who has been in a relationship with soccer player Dele Alli since 2022, served major Baywatch vibes with a red hot high-cut one-piece for her SI Swimsuit debut, as well as an undeniable angelic aesthetic with bright white pieces. Now that it’s officially spring, we’re here to recommend adding one white mesh bikini to your closets for the 2025 season. From Andi Bagus, this flirty, feminine one-piece is still available—and at a good price.
