Hailey Clauson was photographed by Ben Watts in Barbados.

Hailey Clauson made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2015 and returned to the magazine each year thereafter through ’19. After a brief break, in which she added “entrepreneur” to her list of accolades by founding her own boutique modeling agency, Clauson returned to the franchise last year after posing for photographer Ben Watts in Barbados.

The 28-year-old, who was recently named co-owner and creative director of Los Angeles-based modeling agency Margaux, will return for her seventh year in the SI Swimsuit Issue next month.

“I have grown so much since my first shoot with SI. I was 18 when I first shot for the magazine, and now I’m almost 27,” the model said of last year’s feature. “The older I get, the more I have grown as a woman because I truly understand who I am as an individual and stand strong behind my core values. I’m a lot more confident in who I am as a person, and it feels amazing.”

Earlier this year, Clauson traveled to the Dominican Republic for her forthcoming photo shoot. The SI Swimsuit team shared exclusive, behind the scenes content on Instagram as a teaser.

In eager anticipation of Clauson’s 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue feature, we’re throwing it back to our favorite 10 images from last year in Barbados.
