Marquita Pring returned for her fourth SI Swimsuit feature this year. The model was captured in Puerto Rico by Ben Watts and the resulting pics are absolutely gorgeous.

The upstate New York native, who has been in the industry since her iconic Vogue Italia cover story in 2011, made her debut with the magazine in 2020 in Wyoming and has returned to the magazine every year since.

She is constantly using her platform to advocate for body positivity and diversity within the fashion and modeling industries.

“I am so happy to be back here,” Pring said during her ’22 photo shoot in Barbados. “This is my third time shooting Sports Illustrated, but first time on a beach with them because my past shoots have been in the country, which is also incredible, but it’s such a different vibe to be on the water, to be in the sun, all glowy and bronze and sweaty and soaking wet too—it’s the best.”

Below are six of our favorite photos from her 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue photo shoot in Puerto Rico.
