In case you need a reminder, Lorena Durán is proving just why she’s a three-time SI Swimsuit model. 

The Spanish beauty shared a carousel of Instagram snapshots in a dark green-and-white string bikini on Sept. 26, which were captured by photographer Felipe Cordeiro. Durán tagged her location as Rio Nilo in Northeastern Africa.

The first pic captured the thong backside of Durán’s bikini, as she turned her head over her shoulder to pose with her long, dark locks cascading down her back. She then stood in front of the camera with a hand on her string swimsuit bottoms in the next, and posed in a gorgeous stream of sunlight in another. Durán sat poolside in the last two photos with her hair styled into a slicked-back bun. She peered into the camera lens with her head on her shoulder in the first, and looked off into the distance in the last snap.

“Capturing 🌅,” she wrote simply in her caption.

Plenty of the model’s 248,000 IG followers shared similar feedback in the comments section. “Magnifique ✨✨✨,” one person wrote. “True beauty 🔥,” someone else added.

The swimwear snaps are reminiscent of some of Durán’s gorgeous photos throughout the years with SI Swimsuit. For her rookie feature in 2020, the model traveled to Scrub Island in the British Virgin Islands with photographer Josie Clough. She then returned to the fold in ’22, when she posed for James Macari in Montenegro. For the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue, she worked with Ben Watts in Puerto Rico.
