Olivia Brower was photographed by Laretta Houston in Great Exuma, Bahamas. 

As a rookie in the 2019 SI Swimsuit Issue, Olivia Brower traveled to Great Exuma, Bahamas, for a stunningly beautiful photoshoot with Laretta Houston. The model-actress returned to the fold the following year, and visited Scrub Island, British Virgin Islands, where she worked with Josie Clough.

After her sophomore feature with the magazine, Brower told Fox News that working with the brand was a “surreal” experience, and one she had dreamed about for a long time.

“You know, I’ve wanted to be a part of the Sports Illustrated family for so many years now,” she admitted to the outlet. “Ever since I started modeling, I looked up to the women in the pages of the magazine and I just wanted to be a part of it. It’s so empowering to see women who represent such a vast majority of people. And I hope that other women and young ladies that look at the pages can be inspired by these incredible women. [Because] honestly they’re all spectacular and have an amazing story. I think Sports Illustrated does such a wonderful job at showing diversity… it’s empowering. … Boys grow up with action figures. I grew up with Sports Illustrated.”

Three years after her second SI Swimsuit photoshoot, Brower continues to work in the modeling industry, and is currently represented by JAG Models. In honor of her two glorious back-to-back magazine features, we’re throwing it back to a few of our favorite snaps from her rookie year.
