The Story Behind Jessica White’s Marvelous and “Most Intricate” Body Painting Feature in Grenada
Jessica White made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2003 and was featured a total of 12 times over eight separate years. She modeled for three body painting features, in 2004, ’05 and ’09. The former Victoria’s Secret model’s most recent photo shoot was in 2011 with photographer Raphael Mazzucco in the Philippines.
She recently shared a throwback of the amazing 2009 photos from Grenada with her 256,000 Instagram followers, and tagged artist Joanne Gair, who covered the model in carefully painted gorgeous mosaic tiles.
“This is the most intricate suit that i’ve ever worn” the now 38-year-old said at the time of the shoot with photographer Rennio Maifredi in Grenada. “It’s a mosaic from ancient Rome, Italy. The gold is kind of bringing out my skin tone. It looks really nice and moody. It was worth it. It took a really long time but it’s beautiful.”
