Sixtine: 2024 Belize

SI Swimsuit | May 14, 2024

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

Sixtine is championing the body neutrality movement on TikTok. The influencer, who was born in Belgium, raised in Texas and now lives in New York City, uses her platform to encourage women to know that there is so much more to beauty than what you look like. She documents her adventures in the Big Apple, from modeling gigs and dinner parties to friend adventures and dating, the 2023 rookie always keeps it real.

Nestled along the eastern coast of Central America, Belize stands as a prime vacation destination, boasting idyllic beaches and vibrant culture. Placencia, a charming and slender peninsula that began as a fishing village, is now a highly cherished destination for anyone seeking both relaxation or adventure, and offers stunning views of both the Caribbean Sea and the lagoon. Placencia boasts a diverse array of wildlife, from colorful marine life and coral reefs to tropical birds and various species. It is also known for its traditional craft souvenirs, like woven baskets and wood carvings, made by local artisans.

The SI Swimsuit team knows you can never go wrong with all white. The styling for Placencia was inspired by trending quiet luxury aesthetics. Think Hamptons vibes and bridal core but with more fun textures and innovative silhouettes. Sixtine brought out her inner angel, and her light colored looks paired perfectly with her blue eyes. She experimented with intricate cut-outs, beautiful pearls and mesh materials.
