Melissa Satta made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2010 with a unique World Cup-inspired bodypaint photoshoot. The model donned an Italy jersey, created by makeup artist Joanne Gair, while she was photographed in-studio by Yu Tsai.

“I like to try new things. I never did a picture naked. This is different. This is special,” the 37-year-old said at the time. “I like my body and I didn’t feel really naked.”

The TV personality is active on Instagram, and often shares content about her work as an Italian entertainment host and presenter, as well as bikini photos.

Below are four of our favorite snaps from her 2010 SI Swimsuit photoshoot.
