Flawless Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Ellie Thumann took to social media to show what she sleeps in — a comfy-looking PJs set that included matching shorts and triangle top and shows off her enviable bikini body.
“Charleston, thanks for always making me feel peaceful when I come home to you,” she captioned the Wednesday, September 24 TikTok video. For her soundtrack, the Sabrina Carpenter fan chose a classic: “Always a Woman to Me,” by Billy Joel.
In the video, the makeup-free models rocks bedhead as she puts on a cozy button-down and lounge pants over her PJs to take a ride to coffee and breakfast in a golf cart. “Me every few months reconnecting with the city I call home,” she wrote over the gorgeous montage.
“How do u look so ethereal when u just woke up,” commented one fan.

“My favorite place,” wrote a second commenter.
A third begged for coffee recs: “I’m visiting in a couple months!”
