Barbara Palvin was photographed by James Macari in Costa Rica.


Modeling industry staple Barbara Palvin made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2016 in Turks and Caicos and totally blew the brand and photographer James Macari away, earning the title of Rookie of the Year. She returned to the fold the following three years, traveling to Curaçao and also posing on the beaches of the Bahamas. Her most recent feature with the magazine was in 2019 in Costa Rica, and it was certainly one to remember.

The former Victoria’s Secret model married actor and longtime boyfriend Dylan Sprouse in a gorgeous ceremony in her home country of Hungary last year. Her bridal look was truly magnificent, and she opted for a stunning Vivienne Westwood corset gown, Jimmy Choo heels, opera gloves and tons of diamonds as accessories, all while keeping her glam natural and glowy.

“[I believe] that less is more and to let your inner beauty shine. I know it sounds cheesy, but I see it on myself—when I’m in a good mood, my pictures look much better,” the 30-year-old said of her aesthetic for her nuptials. “I just wanted something timeless and natural. We wanted to highlight my features and not overpower them. The process was stress, stress, stress and then you try to calm down on the day of the wedding. And then cry! You need a lot of waterproof mascara.”

Palvin is one of the faces of Giorgio Armani Beauty and just nailed her latest steamy lingerie campaign with For Love and Lemons.

Below are six of our favorite photos from her 2019 SI Swimsuit photoshoot with Macari in Costa Rica.
