The latest image galleries and video for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Achieng Agutu

Over the past few years, Kenya native Achieng Agutu has amassed a following of over 878,000 on Instagram alone. Initially, feeling disparaged by the fact that she was the only Black woman in her classes throughout her years of undergraduate and graduate studies, she started making digital content to hype herself up. She would post videos of herself dancing in the morning and being her own “Hype Woman.” People quickly began voicing their appreciation for her content, allowing her to understand the positive impact she could have.

Since, major brands like Ole Henriksen, Victoria’s Secret, Shea Moisture, Make Up For Ever and Away have reached out and cultivated partnerships with Agutu. Likewise, she was featured in an issue of Vogue, which named her the “Confidence Queen.”

Her unparalleled determination doesn’t stop there as she was featured on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam in July 2024. The magazine described her in three words that certainly captured the model: bald, bold and beautiful.

Agutu’s continued journey of cultivating her motivational platform on social media has opened many doors for her, including attending New York Fashion Week and being featured on Prime Video’s Influenced as an influencer who discusses current trends alongside other social media personalities.

After making her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut as a rookie in 2024, she returns to the fold for the 2025 issue, posing in Bermuda for Ben Watts’s lens.
