Resolutions are in, and 2021 Swim Search finalist Gabriella Halikas’s are crystal clear: make the most of this year. The TikTok star has declared her intentions for 2024, and they couldn’t be more in line with her constantly confident, inspiring and positive messaging. 

Recently, the model, who posed for the magazine in Atlantic City, again stepped into a bright bikini—reminiscent of the vibrant swimwear she wore during her feature—and posed for a series of photos. She shared a short video from the photo shoot to her Instagram, capturing the process and highlighting her gorgeous vibrant floral bikini set and matching long-sleeved button-down.

“2024 is my year, claiming it now,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram reel, exuding her characteristic brand of confidence in both the video and her accompanying message.

“Love this bikini!!” fellow Swim Search finalist Natalie Gage gushed.

“major inspo!! I’m obsessed with this!!!” another follower exclaimed.

“This set on you is stunnnn,” one fan wrote of the look.

“Yes Ella!!!!” another encouraged the model.

It’s clear she’s entering this year with the same level of confidence that she carried through the last—and the same confidence that she brought to her SI Swimsuit feature. Much like that photo shoot with photographer Yu Tsai, this latest campaign, from which she shared the BTS video, really puts her skill in front of the camera on display. But, more importantly, it speaks to Halikas’s drive and her self-assurance.
