Summer is slowly coming to a close, and SI Swimsuit models are soaking up the last several moments of sunshine. From trendy bikinis and ab-baring beachside looks to evening gowns and colorful summery skirts, brand stars are certainly busting out some wardrobe favorites while they still can.

This week, these women posed all over the world, from upstate New York to Lake Como, Italy and everywhere in between. And, as always, we’re enamored with and inspired by the fabulous, glamorous, chic looks these franchise stars past and present have put together.

Below are seven of our favorite pieces of content from from the week. Enjoy!

Josephine Skriver

The three-time brand star posed on the sand in nothing but low-rise jeans, and we’re totally here for it.
