Stunning Sports Illustrated star Ellie Thumann rocks her vintage Cavalli mini-dress, which sports long sleeves, a short skirt — and a completely open front with only a double bralette for coverage.

“Something about a mini-dress is gonna do it everytime,” she wrote on the TikTok share. “Vintage Cavalli is my dream!!!!!” she added in the caption.

While the model is known for her slicked back ponytails, she wears her hair down with this look.

“True,” agreed one fan.

“Obsessed [with] this,” wrote another.

“I love your dress,” raved a third.
