After participating in a jaw-dropping rookie photo shoot in Tampa, Fla., Leyna Bloom landed the cover of the 2021 SI Swimsuit Issue. Following her moment on the front of the magazine, she returned to the fold in ’22, when she traveled to Belize for her sophomore brand feature. Bloom’s third consecutive SI Swimsuit spread landed in last year’s magazine after her gorgeous photo shoot in Dominica.

In addition to her work with SI Swimsuit, Bloom is also an accomplished actress and runway model. Last summer, she reflected upon how she uses her platform to benefit others during an exclusive interview with SI Swimsuit.

“Knowing the fact that time is so precious, to be on this Earth and to live in these spaces—I’m in a very lucky place. Tomorrow’s not promised,” Bloom said of her outlook. “If I’m going to do anything and especially in the place where people are looking at me and they’re figuring themselves out, I want to use that space to like bring them in and teach them about my experience so they can learn about theirs. Take time with yourself. Love yourself and appreciate yourself. This life is so precious.”

While all three of her brand features have been incredible, today we find ourselves drawn back to the Chicago native’s spread in Central America. Perhaps it’s the bright and beautiful looks she sported on the beaches of Belize, or her energy in front of the lens. Either way, below are a few of our favorite snapshots from Bloom’s 2022 SI Swimsuit feature, courtesy of Yu Tsai.
