If there’s anyone who can put their stamp of approval on a bikini photograph, it’s Irina Shayk. The Russian supermodel first posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2007, when she traveled to Arizona with photographer Pamela Hanson. She returned to the fold for a total of 10 consecutive years with the publication, most recently posing in Tahiti and the Dominican Republic in 2016.

Thus, when the 37-year-old runway model left several flame emojis in the comments section of Sofia Vergara’s latest bikini post on Instagram, we were geeked on the Modern Family star’s behalf.

In the Nov. 10 pics, Vergara sat perched on a chair in front of a mirror in a black one-piece swimsuit for the trio of snaps. She crossed and uncrossed her legs as she pursed her lips for the camera and posed with her hands in her hair.

“Good morning #casachipichipi🐚🦀,” she wrote in her caption of her mysterious beachside location.

We love to see women supporting women, particularly when it comes to hyping one another up over chic swimwear choices. And in addition to Shayk’s many flame emojis, tons of Vergara’s other 31.8 million followers chimed in to the comments section with similar sentiments.

“insanee,” two-time SI Swimsuit model Bo Krsmanovic cheered.

“Gorgeous 🔥,” TV personality Diana Madison gushed.

“I also do my zoom meetings without pants👏,” fellow America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel joked.

“If only that was my reflection!!!” one person quipped. “Wow stunning 😍.”
