Stunning Sports Illustrated model Ellie Thumann recently announced her big return to modeling — and a recent TikTok share revealed just how glam her new life is going to be.

“Hello girl,” she captioned the Friday, September 26 social media share, which shows her flipping her immaculately curled hair before walking towards the camera in a designer top made only of a tiny piece of fabric. As she turns around, she reveals that in the back it is held together with just one thin ribbon.

An enormous statement necklace and low-hanging pants finished the expensive, high-fashion look.

“Oh she’s so backkkkkkkk,” wrote one fan.

“Ellie this is insane,” raved another.

While Thuman, 23, did appear in this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue (her third consecutive turn), she eschewed any other modeling to instead travel, create content and take the year off.

The Arizona native also walked in the iconic magazine’s runway show to close out Miami Swim Week this past May 31. Also walking in the show were reigning cover stars Livvy Dunne, Jordan Chiles and Lauren Chan, and her fellow models from the issue, including Xandra Pohl, Jena Sims, Denise Bidot, Camille Kostek and Penny Lane.
