Before she was a mama-to-be, Goff repped this Hunza G striped bikini in Portugal during her 2024 feature for SI Swimsuit. The red-hot ’fit paired high-legged striped bottoms with a scoop neck top with thick straps. Goff ditched the accessories in this frame as her espresso locks flowed in the breeze.

Camille Kostek

Two years after her 2019 debut earned Kostek a first-time cover feature, the model touched down in Hollywood, Fla., and debuted this classic number from Oh Polly. The scoop-neck top and matching Brazilian-style bottoms are a perfect pairing for this bright and bold suit.

Berkleigh Wright

Polka dots are one of summer’s hottest trend (confirmed by this year’s SI Swimsuit Runway Show), and Wright did it first in her rookie campaign in Belize. This Toxic Sadie Swimwear suit is perfectly on-theme for Independence Day celebrations, featuring a halter neckline and adjustable straps.

Marquita Pring

Pring sported this SAME Los Angeles suit during her third feature in the fold in Barbados. This nautical number screams boat-day inspiration, but we love it for any day by the water. Pair the look with earrings like the model’s, or let the suit’s striped pattern and stunning silhouette shine on its own!

Brooks Nader

This Moeva high-waisted boy-short bikini embodies coastal elegance. Worn during her 2023 shoot in the Dominican Republic—where Nader would earn her first cover spot with the magazine—the model paired the garment with chunky hoops from her own collaboration with Electric Picks.

Kamie Crawford

Put on a one-piece suit like Crawford did in her Belize shoot for a day of activities by the water. This sporty-style Pursuit the Label zip-up number is perfect for seaside games like volleyball or cornhole, or even water sports like kayaking (shown here) to have you winning in style and keep you comfortable while on the move.

Emily DiDonato
