This week certainly was an exciting one for SI Swimsuit models around the world. Whether they were celebrating a milestone birthday or just heading to the beach for some fun in the sun, plenty of current and former brand stars donned some stunning swimwear.

We introduced our latest 2024 magazine rookie this week, while some familiar faces flaunted their latest one-piece and bikinis and shared snippets of their adventures with their Instagram followers. Below, you’ll find a quick recap of some of our favorite SI Swimsuit model moments of the week.

Katie Austin

The 2022 co-Rookie of the Year took a trip down memory lane, and we sure are glad she took us along for the ride! Austin shared a selection of SI Swimsuit photos from over the years that she hadn’t previously posted to her main IG feed.

Josephine Skriver

While it’s not clear where Skriver, a three-time brand star, enjoyed her recent beach day, we truly adore the one-shoulder burnt orange swimsuit she wore for the occasion.

Christie Brinkley

A legend of the brand, Brinkley celebrated her milestone 70th birthday on Feb. 2. After the fact, she offered up a snapshot of herself in a gorgeous black one-piece, alongside a poem about entering her next decade. 

Brittany Mahomes

When her 2024 rookie reveal was announced on Thursday, it quickly went viral. Mahomes posed for the forthcoming 60th anniversary issue in Belize, where she donned a daring red Mugler cut-out swimsuit.

Kelsey Merritt

The three-time SI Swimsuit model recently visited Turks and Caicos, where she reminded her Instagram followers just how chic her sense of fashion is, particularly when it comes to swimwear.

Sara Sampaio

Sampaio, who was featured in two SI Swimsuit magazines, put her black-and-white swimwear sensibility on display, while also showing off her toned back muscles.
