Achieng Agutu: 2025 Bermuda

SI Swimsuit | 14 Hours Ago

Achieng Agutu was photographed by Ben Watts in Bermuda for the 2025 SI Swimsuit issue, alongside fellow models Brooks Nader, Ellie Thumann, Ilona Maher, Jena Sims, Kate Austin, Lauren Chan and Olivia Dunne.

Agutu was a co-winner of SI Swim Search in 2023 and has shot for the magazine each year following, making her official debut in Mexico in 2024. The Kenya native is the host of Prime Video’s Influenced and has almost 2 million followers on Instagram and TikTok thanks to her fun fashion and travel content.

650 miles off the North Carolina coast lies the 21-square-mile island of Bermuda. Adorned with powdery pink coastlines and turquoise waters, the island is a go-to spot for rest and relaxation. However, if you’re up for something more adventurous, you can take a boat ride around the North Atlantic or dive into the island’s reefs to get up closer look at the action.

Standing strong in the belief that animal print will never go out of style, the SI Swimsuit fashion team based the final looks on bold animal prints coupled with playful accessories. The island of Bermuda is known for its colorful architecture, and this inspired the team to opt for vivid prints and colorful accessories, including tees, sneakers and ‘80s-inspired jewelry.
