Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue model Natalie Mariduena took South Florida by storm, showing off her flawless bikini body for a shoot that the iconic magazine deemed “unforgettable.”
In the chosen photo, Mariduena kneeled in the ocean, flaunting her tiny waist in a purple string bikini by Oseree, her stunning long hair blowing wild in the wind. She also wore earrings by Lili Claspe.
“Hollywood, Fla could not have been a more perfect backdrop for Natalie Mariduena’s unforgettable SI Swimsuit feature,” SI Swim captioned the September 27 share on X (formerly Twitter).
The post also included a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit link to the model’s epic 2021 photo shoot, which included a few dozen photos from her Florida pictorial. In addition to the cheeky, barely-there string bikini, she showed off her physique in a hot pink two-piece by Andi Bagus and other fluorescent suits. In one pic, she used Floridian fronds as her backdrop as she modeled a blue Tori Praver Swimwear bikini. She also draped herself across a rock in a swimsuit by Myra Swim and necklace by Aureum Collective.
