Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Ellie Thumann relaunched her modeling career with a stunning set of new photos shared to her Instagram.

 

She tagged her agency, Marilyn Agency NY, as the full caption for the Friday, September 19 post. In the cover photo, she flaunts her flawless bikini body in a black triangle top under a zip-up jacket worn open and a pair of low-hanging pants. She has her top fashionably pulled up slightly. The five-image carousel post also includes a photo of her in the same top paired with boy shorts and sexy stockings.

“SLAYYYYYY OMG OMG OMG,” raved one fan.

 

“What !!!!!” agreed Ali Truwitt, a Paralympic medalist who appears in the current issue of SI. “These are insanity!!! Stunning beyond."

 

“New beginnings,” wrote another fan.

The 23-year-old Arizona native recently announced her return to modeling after a year off to travel, visit friends and lean into her content creator side. Her only exception? SI Swim. Her pictorial in the current issue marks her third consecutive appearance. In her photos, she rocked some of the tiniest bikinis in the magazine — mostly animal print — in beautiful Bermuda.
