Lily Aldridge

Lily Aldridge was photographed by James Macari in Turks and Caicos.

Lily Aldridge was featured in the SI Swimsuit Issue for three consecutive years. Her rookie year was a memorable one, as she landed cover of the publication’s 50th Anniversary Issue alongside fellow models Chrissy Teigen and Nina Agdal after posing for James Macari in the Cook Islands. 

In 2015, the 37-year-old traveled along Route 1 in California and Washington with photographer Yu Tsai. Her most recent feature with the brand took place the following year, when she traveled to Turks and Caicos, again with Macari.

“I’m so excited to be back for my third year,” Aldridge said at the time, admitting that her status as an SI Swimsuit model hadn’t quite sunk in even then. “It doesn’t seem real. I’m officially a Sports Illustrated model. It feels good. I love it.”

In addition to her work with SI Swimsuit, Aldridge is known for being a Victoria’s Secret Angel, a title she held between 2010 and ’18. She has also collaborated with brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Max Mara, Ralph Lauren and others. Today, the mom of two continues to work in the industry. She is married to Caleb Followill, lead singer of the rock band Kings of Leon.

Below are eight of our favorite photos of Aldridge in Turks and Caicos that will surely inspire you to book a ticket to the tropics immediately.
