SI Swimsuit model Georgia Gibbs turned the heat up during her feature with photographer Yu Tsai in Aruba in 2018. The Perth, Australia native, who was born in southern England, entered the industry in 2011, when she was a contestant on Australia’s Next Top Model. In 2014, she was a finalist in the Miss Universe Australia competition and that major gig really put her on the map.

The influencer, who has a passion for healing through traditional Chinese herbal medicine, has built her platform as a body positivity, healthy living and self-love influencer.

“Coming to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, and them being like, ‘You’re perfect just the way that you are,’ and seeing people like Ashley Graham who preach this amazing, ‘Look at me, I’m healthy, I’m fit and I’m beautiful and I want all women to be empowered.’ It’s just such an amazing message. In the fashion world, there has been so much change,” Gibbs shared while on location with the magazine. “Recently, we’ve seen so much more body diversity on runways than we have ever before and I definitely think Sports Illustrated has so much to do with that. I can’t preach it enough that they’re literally changing the industry. And I’ll say it again, they make so many women feel so worthy, no matter of their appearance, their shape, their size. They make them feel like they’re enough, and it’s just absolutely amazing.”

Below are five stunning photos of Gibbs on the marvelous blue beaches of Aruba.
