10-time SI Swimsuit star Paulina Porizkova is back with SI Swimsuit for something truly legendary. 

The model made her debut with the brand in Jamaica in 1983, and landed the cover in her sophomore year, after traveling to Aruba with Paolo Curto. The 58-year-old starred in the exciting 50th anniversary in-studio shoot in 2014, and, of course she’s back a decade later—and joined by more icons—to celebrate the franchise’s 60th anniversary.

In a video posted to SI Swimsuit‘s Instagram account, the Czechoslovakia-born, Sweden native and current New York City resident, danced and twirled in a gorgeous plunge-neck ball gown with a dramatic tiered ruffled skirt. She rocked a huge smile and looked like an absolute princess in the short black-and-white clip.

“She shines. She glows. She is @paulinaporizkov ✨#SISwim60 #SISwimsuit #BeLegendary,” the brand captioned the joint post, set to the sound of Dua Lipa’s upbeat bob “Dance the Night” from the Barbie movie.

“This is iconic !,” Sharina Gutierrez commented.

“Loving the real-time content 😍,” Jena Sims added.

“🩶🙌Role Model & Paragon🙌🩶,” Nina Cash chimed.

“Dazzling!!!,” Brooklyn Decker exclaimed.

“Legend!!!,” 2023 cover girl Brooks Nader wrote.

Today, Porizkova uses her platform to defy age stereotypes and encourage women to embrace who they are at any and every phase of life. And, the author is never afraid to call out double standards or unfair bias and inequities in the industry, or candidly discuss how modeling and fashion have changed (for better, or for worse) over the past few decades.
