Gigi’s year in fashion domination continues! Hot on the heels of her naked Vogue Paris magazine cover, the 20-year-old supermodel returns for her sexiest SI Swimsuit shoot to date. [CLICK HERE TO SEE HER FULL SPREAD]. Shot by photographer Yu Tsai in the islands of Tahiti, Gigi pretty much bares it all as she strikes one sultry pose after the next in what are arguably the world’s tiniest bikinis and one-piece suits. Coincidentally, her spread is chock full of racy under boob, side boob and basically any other kind of boob moment you can think of. In one particular photo, Gigi even seems to defy the laws of gravity by posing in a barely-there chainmail bikini top that appears to magically cover up just her nipples and little else. If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: Zayn Malik is one lucky man!
Despite looking absolutely flawless in her steamy SI photo shoot, Gigi revealed in the magazine’s behind-the-scenes video of her shoot that she’s still very hard on herself during shoots. “I grew up a very competitive athlete and I think that I want to be the best, so like, for me, I’m really hard on myself,” she says. “And I feel like sometimes when I don’t get the shot perfect, then I get hard on myself.” What a professional!
As previously reported, this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has proven to be one of the franchise’s hottest ever. For the proof, just look at this year’s — count ’em —three beautiful cover stars: UFC fighter Ronda Rousey, 29, newcomer Hailey Clauson, 20, and plus-size model Ashley Graham, 28. In addition to the cover girls, this year’s SI Swimsuit issue also features a host of other knockout beauties including veterans like Irina Shayk, Emily Ratajkowski, Kelly Rhorbach, and Lily Aldridge, and SI Rookies Barbara Palvin and Tanya Mityushina. Gorgeous!
