Beginning in 2020, Tanaye White earned three consecutive features in the annual SI Swimsuit Issue. While we would never go so far as to declare one better than the other, today, we’re taking a look back at White’s most recent brand feature.

The model traveled to Barbados for her 2022 photo shoot, marking her third appearance in the magazine. There, she posed for photos taken by photographer Ben Watts, a regular with the the SI Swimsuit team. With the beautiful beachfront backdrop and a stunning series of vibrant bikinis, White was totally in her element—and it showed in the final photos, too.

While on location, White put her personality on display. “Our shoot was all about action — running, surfing, swimming, etc,” she said of her third consecutive feature with the brand in an Instagram post at the time. In the photo, the model rocked a burnt orange-and-white bikini that “harps back to the most iconic action film of all time — James Bond’s Die Another Day — where legendary @halleberry sports the memorable orange bikini,” she explained of the incredible look.

While that burnt orange bikini certainly was one for the books, it was only one of the several stunning styles that she sported that trip. Below are some of the other incredible bikinis and one-pieces that White wore on set in Barbados. All of which, combined with her bubbly personality and skill, made for some absolutely memorable photos. But don’t just take our word for it, see for yourselves, below.
