Kim Cloutier was photographed by Matt Jones in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

Canadian model Kim Cloutier joined the SI Swimsuit family in 2009, when she traveled with photographer Matt Jones and the rest of the team to Riviera Maya, Mexico for her photoshoot with the brand.

The tropical Caribbean location played host to a stunning feature for the now 36-year-old. She posed in a series of bright white bikinis and one-pieces that really popped against the scenic ocean backdrop. The model made her mark on the idyllic sand beaches of the Yucatán peninsula, and the photos are making us consider a trip to the destination ourselves.

Cloutier’s other notable features around the time of her SI Swimsuit debut included a feature in Elle Accessories and a spot on the cover of Flare, a former fashion magazine in Canada. But her résumé included some acting, too. In 2014, she appeared in The Cobbler, which starred Adam Sandler. Moreover, in 2018, she made her TV hosting debut on the Canadian fashion design series, Stitched. 

These days, the Montreal native continues to work in both the modeling and acting industries, but has likewise embraced a passion for skincare, working as a licensed esthetician in addition to her other obligations. In doing so, she is the very definition of a multihyphenate.

Today, we’re throwing it back to her earlier days in the modeling industry. Here are some incredible photos from Cloutier’s stunning SI Swimsuit trip to Mexico, which just may inspire you to book a trip yourself.
