Entrepreneur and designer Nicole Williams English made history with her first SI Swimsuit photo shoot. She is the second model to appear in the annual edition while visibly pregnant. Katrina Scott was the first in 2022. 

Williams English was photographed by Yu Tsai in Dominica late last year while seven months pregnant. She and husband Larry English welcomed their daughter, India Moon, in early January.

Williams English became one with nature on location, as her styling for her shoot drew inspiration from the island’s seaside energy. She embraced the island life in a swimsuit and matching cardigan by Hope Macaulay.

“The fact that I’m actually a rookie and shooting while pregnant, it’s just really cool to know that my baby girl is going through this with me and that one day she’s gonna look back and see all these photos and know that she was shooting for SI with mama,” Williams English says.

Although Williams English makes her debut with SI Swimsuit this year, many will recognize her from her starring role on the hit E! reality TV series WAGS. Williams English is also the founder of Nia Lynn by Nicole Williams English, a swimwear and lifestyle brand. Outside of her work in the industry, the Toronto native and new mom prioritizes giving back to the community and is a U.S. celebrity ambassador for World Animal Protection.
