Fitness guru Katie Austin is Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue icon, appearing this year for the fifth consecutive time. And the iconic brand took to social media to share one of her steamiest moments from this year’s photoshoot.

In the pic, Austin — daughter of ’80 fitness videos Denise Austin — poses in a frilly bikini whose top is a little too small, per SI Swim’s style. The crocheted two-piece perfectly flaunts the workout queen’s chiseled bikini body.

“For her fifth consecutive SI Swimsuit shoot Katie Austin traveled to the breathtaking shores of Bermuda with photographer Ben Watts, where she posed in a series of earthy, shimmery and eye-catching looks that effortlessly blended softness, glamour and beachside charm,” SI Swim captioned its Wednesday, December 3 share to X (formerly Twitter).

The share was published just days after Austin, 32, announced on her Instagram that the movie Sidelined 2 is streaming on Tubi — and that a bit part as a sports broadcaster was her first acting gig.

She also says that in 2018 she commentated a high school game there for an entry-level job at Fox Sprots West, before her career pivoted.

“In an effort to unlock an ethereal energy, the styling for Bermuda was greatly influenced by natural materials,” reads the accompanying article on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “The SI Swimsuit fashion team’s use of shells and pearls was purposefully balanced by lucite jewelry and pieces meant to feel natural with a hint of glitz. The overall aesthetic aimed to be soft and feminine.”
