New pics: Flawless ‘SI’ Swim star sizzles in tiny animal print bikinis

Flawless three-time Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Ellie Thumann sizzles in never-before-seen pics from her 2025 shoot for the iconic magazine.

In the Tuesday, September 9 Instagram share, her photographer — the world-renowned Ben Watts — featured three photos from the model’s shoot in beautiful Bermuda. The first shows a steamy, up-close shot of the model in a tiny leopard print bikini top, while the second and third pics zoom out for full body shots of the star in a zebra print string bikini.

It was the 23-year-old’s third consecutive appearance in the iconic magazine.

“Miss this shoot so much,” Thumann commented, with a red heart and fire emojis

“Love these photos,” raved one fan.

“Beautiful shoot omg,” agreed another.

“Gorgeous shots,” wrote a third.

“Ellie omg,” said fellow 2025 SI model Katie Austin, with a fire emoji.
