Nina Agdal: 2024 Belize

SI Swimsuit | May 14, 2024

Nina Agdal was photographed by Derek Kettela in Belize for the 2024 SI Swimsuit Issue, along with fellow models Xandra Pohl, Berkleigh Wright, Chanel Iman, Lauren Wasser, Kamie Crawford, Yumi Nu, Sixtine, Brittany Mahomes, Jas Williams, Jillian Hayes and Alexa Massari.

Agdal first posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2012, when her feature in the Seychelles earned her Rookie of the Year honors. She has returned to the fold several times since, and went on to land the cover of the 50th anniversary issue after being photographed in the Cook Islands in 2014. In addition to her career as a model, Agdal is a television host and health and wellness enthusiast. The publication of the 60th anniversary issue marks her seventh year appearing in the SI Swimsuit Issue. 

Found on the eastern coast of Central America, Belize is known for its beautiful beaches, diverse topography and authentic local culture. Placencia, where Agdal was photographed for this year’s magazine, is a small peninsula located in southeastern Belize, which boasts unmatched views of the Caribbean Sea. The secluded and quaint area appears virtually untouched and created a remarkable backdrop for the 2024 SI Swimsuit Issue.

In order to enhance the truly breathtaking clear blue waters in Belize, the SI Swimsuit team opted for all white when it came to styling in Placencia. It was all about suits that featured unique textures, intricate cut-outs and fun silhouettes, all in various shades of ivory, cream and eggshell.
