SI Swimsuit | 12 Hours Ago

Eileen Gu was photographed by Ben Horton in Boca Raton, Fla., for the 2025 SI Swimsuit Issue, alongside fellow models Anna Hall, Ali Truwit, Cameron Brink, Caroline Marks, Gabby Thomas, Jordan Chiles, Nelly Korda, Suni Lee and Toni Breidinger.

Gu is a three-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated freestyle skier in World Cup history. The San Francisco native turned pro at 16 and has become a force in sports and fashion. She’s modeled for Louis Vuitton and Victoria’s Secret, and has appeared on multiple international Vogue covers. Gu is also a TIME100 and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree.

Boca Raton is a tropical escape lined with palm trees, luxury boutiques and coastal calm. The Boca Raton resort stands as a symbol of South Florida sophistication, with a grand facade and exclusive amenities galore. Whether lounging poolside or walking around the breezy marina, every corner offers a photo-ready moment.
