Chrissy Teigen first posed for SI Swimsuit in 2010, when she stunned in the Maldives with photographer Walter Iooss Jr. and earned the Rookie of the Year title. For her sophomore photo shoot, she traveled to the Philippines, and the following year, the 38-year-old was captured by David Burton in Easter Island, Chile. That year, she double-dipped for a unique bodypaint feature in the Bahamas.

In 2014, Teigen landed on the cover of the 50th anniversary issue, alongside fellow brand stars Nina Agdal and Lily Aldridge, after a gorgeous photo shoot with James Macari in the Cook Islands. The cookbook author and internet personality, who was photographed a total of eight consecutive years with the magazine, traveled to Indonesia for her most recent appearance in 2017.

Today, the Utah native, who now lives in Southern California, and her husband, R&B singer John Legend, are parents to four beautiful children, Luna, Miles, Esti and Wren.

“He is an amazing father for a girl who’s becoming a woman in this day and age, because we have a firm belief she is going to take ownership of her body. And we’re going to talk to [the kids] the best we can, whether that’s sex, drugs… We are going to talk to her in the same way we would have loved to hear it. We don’t really censor ourselves in talking about bodies. And you make sure your boy is the ultimate feminist, that he loves and respects women. You have to raise them to be feminists. That is our future,” Teigen gushed about parenting. “The life we have created together is wonderful. What John was like when I first met him was very different. It wasn’t just me who grew and changed a lot. It’s like having a teacher. He’s never mad at my questions—he loves to answer them.”

Below are seven phenomenal photos from Teigen’s 2011 SI Swimsuit photo shoot in the Philippines with photographer Raphael Mazzucco.
