Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Myla Dalbesio risked falling out of her teeny string bikini — made of crochet, so not OK for swimming — in a stunning shot shared by the brand on social media.
The bronzed star, 38, proved fearless during her photo shoot, almost baring all in a later look that featured only a dress made of thin ropes.
“Myla Dalbesio absolutely owned the lens and landscape for her 2019 SI Swimsuit return on Kangaroo Island,” captioned SI Swim in its post on X (formerly Twitter).
The share then linked to her full eye-popping pictorial.

In the photos on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Dalbesio crawled on the sand in a leopard-print bikini, flaunted her assets and tiny waist in another crocheted bikini, did a yoga post in a cheeky one-piece, and risked several too-small triangle bikini tops clearly made for models less well-endowed. She also sizzled in a topless shot featuring a set of printed bikini bottoms by Amanda Louise Swimwear.
For the three photos in the strategically-placed ropes dress — by Andi Bagus — she grinned over her shoulder, crouched down on the sand and looked at the camera with a sultry side-eye, and bared her backside with one hand on her hip.
The shoot took place in Kangaroo Island, South Australia. The photographer? The famed Josie Clough.
