Chrissy Teigen wears nothing but sea shells during 2011 photo shoot

Sports Illustrated has shot Chrissy Teigen every which way during her seven-year tenure as a SI Swimsuit model. Whether bedazzling her most intimate of areas or strutting down a Bahamas beach in nothing but body paint, Chrissy has proven she's up for anything.

And that brings us to today's Throwback Thursday photo from the 2011 issue, when Chrissy posed in nothing but a few well-places sea shells. The shoot took place in the Philippines, where the future Mrs. John Legend was joined by Irina Shayk, Jessica White, Esti Ginzburg and Kate Upton for a shoot with Raphael Mazzucco. See for yourself.

It can't be comfortable sitting on a bed of rocks dressed in nothing but sea shells but Chrissy pulls it off effortlessly. All in a day's work, I guess.
