This is old news, but here’s Paulina Porizkova wearing nothing but a bikini bottom and a book.
She shared it on her Instagram to endorse the mind-enriching act of reading and also to show off her 52-year-old body.
If she were to pull a Christie Brinkley and pop back into a swimsuit for a few shots with SI, I’d be in favor of that.
She also recently posted this German Vogue cover of Gigi Hadid wearing some sort of jumpsuit festooned with retro Vogue covers.
Paulina’s cover from September of 1986 appears twice on Gigi’s right.
And hey, here’s another Playboy! August of 1987 brought us Paulina in a foldout cover with the bunny hidden in her hair under her left triceps.
Speaking of 80s throwbacks, here’s a preview video of the 2018 swimsuit issue.
I see neon colors, check patterns, and sky-high-cut bikini bottoms. The 80s are back.
And SI can’t seem to stop dressing up their models as previous models. Here are some of the “final 15” from their open casting call, gathered at Miami Swim Week, whatever that was. Most or all of them seem to be wearing bikinis we first saw on other models in previous issues.
Left to right, this is Olivia Jordan, Kate de Paz, Stefanie Rachel, Keyeriah Miles, Kayla Fitzgerald, and Dessie Mitcheson.
Olivia is wearing Marisa Miller’s suit from the 2008 cover.
Kate’s bikini is similar, though not identical, to Myla Dalbesio’s from last year.
Keyeriah is clearly invoking Irina Shayk from 2011.
And Dessie is dressed as Hannah Davis from 2015.
If Stefanie’s and Kayla’s are from other years, I haven’t been able to place them. They both look like the kind of candy-colored bikinis we saw on Alyssa Miller from 2011, but I have nothing conclusive.
Anyway, we’re getting closer! I’m looking forward to it, but in kind of a mild, matter-of-fact way. I’m hoping to get more excited as time goes on.
