Kelly Rohrbach was photographed by Ben Watts in Malta.

When she posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue as a rookie, Kelly Rohrbach traveled to Big Sur, Calif., with photographer Yu Tsai for a beautiful set of photographs along the coast in 2015. In fact, it was a feature so stunning that it earned the model Rookie of the Year honors. 

Rohrbach returned to the fold the following year, this time traveling out of the U.S. to Malta for the occasion. While in the Southern European country, she stepped in front of Ben Watts’s lens for yet another jaw-dropping set of photos.

“[The experience was] much more relaxed,” Rohrbach admitted of her brand feature in 2016. “Much more comfortable... I still don’t know what I’m doing, but I have a better sense of what I’m doing, so it’s just been icing on the cake.”

In addition to her work as a model, the 33-year-old is an accomplished actress. She portrayed CJ Parker in the 2017 Baywatch film, alongside A-listers like Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and Priyanka Chopra. Rohrbach also appeared in the Woody Allen film A Rainy Day in New York with Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez.

Today, Rohrbach continues to work in both the film and modeling industries, and regularly shares updates with her 9.6 million followers on Instagram. And whether she’s hitting the beach for work or play, we love to follow along with her latest adventures.

In honor of her back-to-back SI Swimsuit Issue features, below are a few of our favorite photographs of Rohrbach from Malta.
