When Duckie Thot made her SI Swimsuit debut last year, she was new to the pages of the annual issue, but she was far from an unfamiliar face in the industry. Well known as the face of Fenty Beauty, the model made her mark during her first photoshoot with the brand in Montenegro.

It was an experience that was, in Thot’s own words, a “dream.” Traveling to the sparkling waters in the Balkans gave her the chance to fulfill a longtime desire.

“I can’t believe I’ve crossed this off my list. for over 10 years, I’ve dreamt of working with the SI team and it was truly worth the wait,” she said in an Instagram post after the issue’s release. “I was welcomed with open arms, which was nothing short of what I imagined. we shot in Montenegro on my birthday last year which made it that much more special. thank you @mj_day and the entire @si_swimsuit team for seeing, and embracing all of me. @jamesmacari it was an honor to be shot by you. teenage duck wouldn’t believe her eyes...”

It was a rookie feature so impressive that it earned her a spot in this year’s issue as well. The 28-year-old returned to the SI Swimsuit set for the 2023 issue, traveling to the beaches of Puerto Rico for a stunning denim-inspired photoshoot. Much as her first, her second appearance was a stunning testimony to her skill in front of the camera lens. And the photos are nothing short of spectacular.

We won’t play favorites (it’s simply too hard), but we will share just a few of the incredible snaps from the trip below.
