Samantha Hoopes Uses Provocative, Wet T-Shirt to Ask Fans a Very Important Question
When we invited Samantha Hoopes back for her fifth year in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, we knew we were in for yet another adventure. One of the world's most beautiful women + one of the Caribbean's most beautiful islands = a winning combination.

But little did we know, things were going to get heated before her shoot even started. In her fitting, we showed Samantha a crop top with the slogan "DO MY NIPPLES OFFEND YOU" on it and she was an instant fan. So when we found ourselves at a beachside pool the next afternoon, we knew just what to do!

Taking a dip in the little white tee, Samantha came out of the water and the results were as mesmerizing as you can imagine.
"She is goals," wrote #SISwimSearch finalist Haley Kalil, when SI Swimsuit editor MJ posted the clip to her Instagram account. "It’s bs that this part of a woman’s body is deemed offensive. My photo was flagged the second I put it up because someone decided this particular part of a woman’s (but not a man’s) body is offensive. SLAY @samanthahoopes SLAY."
And slay she did. Samantha Hoopes, we've never loved you more!
