Olivia Jordan was photographed by Yu Tsai in Belize.

When Olivia Jordan stepped on the set of her 2018 SI Swimsuit feature, she didn’t just want to “have a good shoot,” she “wanted it to be [her] best shoot ever,” she told the team. It was her initial appearance with the magazine, an opportunity she earned through the brand’s Swim Search open casting call. The trip took her to a tropical destination on the coast of Belize with photographer Yu Tsai. 

The former Miss USA 2015 earned her spot along with four other finalists in the year’s competition. Jordan was “so honored” by MJ Day’s call to join the ranks of the SI Swimsuit talent. “This is insane,” she gushed over the phone to Day after the editor in chief broke the news.

“I’m so excited,” she said at the end of the call, looking forward to her first feature. The Oklahoma native didn’t disappoint when she took to the set of the Caribbean beaches, stunning a series of photos on the bright sand and in the vibrant blue waters.

Today, we’re throwing it back to her incredible feature in the 2018 SI Swimsuit Issue, and highlighting some of the stunning photos she posed for. Below are just a few of our favorites from the day.
