But they weren’t the only models to support Austin’s newest venture with the magazine:

“Goddess,” Christen Goff complimented.

“Gorgeous 🔥,” Roshumba Williams said.

Austin first joined SI Swimsuit as a co-winner of Swim Search in 2021, alongside Goff. She’s been a part of the magazine ever since, with appearances in Atlantic City (2021), Montenegro (2022), Dominican Republic (2023) and Portugal (2024).

“I’ve always been especially moved by SI Swim, what it stands for and all of the amazing women that are part of it,“ Austin shared in 2021. Since then, she’s built an iconic portfolio, with her pursuit in Bermuda primed to give her more jaw-dropping photos.

In her newest shoot, Austin sported a stunning beige crochet bikini with sequin detailing. In another shot, the 31-year-old rocked a one-piece chain coverup with crsytal embellishments.

Her post shared a casual perspective from her time on the island, including grabbing a slice of pizza on the beach, indulging in some tropical drinks and playing a friendly game of rock-paper-scissors with Nader.

Austin also revealed some words of wisdom on-set:

“I have a mantra that I live by. Honestly, it’s gotten me through a lot to deal with my mental health,“ Austin shared. “You are greater than your thoughts. A lot of times, I have some social anxiety or just anxiety in general, and usually, what I’m thinking of is just not true. So you are greater than your thoughts.“
