'Houston, we have NO problem!': Sailor Brinkley shares topless photo alongside sister Alexa as she plugs Sports Illustrated appearance

They've been gearing up to appear in the upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition with their famous model mom Christie Brinkley.

And it seems Sailor, 18, and Alexa, 31, wanted to tease their fans a tad when the youngest Brinkley opted to post a very steamy shot to Instagram on Saturday.

In the sizzling photo, Sailor, clad in a barely-there black bikini and nothing else, lies with her arms extended above her head on a sun lounger.

Eye-popping! It seems Sailor, 18, and Alexa, 31, wanted to tease their fans a tad when the youngest Brinkley opted to post a very steamy shot to Instagram on Saturday

She delivers a sultry look back at the camera, while her blonde locks cascade down her back.

Her sister Alex lies next to her, though she has propped herself up on her arms, making it very clear she has opted to go topless for the shot.

While she is also sporting tiny black bikini bottoms, it seems some fuzzy multicolored charms are attached to her waistband. She also sports what looks to be a thin body chain. 

Sailor captioned the snap 'Just 3 MORE DAYS!!! #SiSwim2017 everywhere on (of course) V-Day,' which obviously was meant to remind readers that the sexy issue will be on news stands just in time for Valentines day.

'Houston, we have no problem,' she continued, before adding an innocent smiley emoji. 

While Sailor is clearly excited for the pending magazine release, she recently opened up about her own struggles with body image.

On Thursday, the burgeoning model shared with her fans a photo of herself as a young girl.

The photo was of herself sitting on a tree as she wore a white dress and had her hair held together with a neon green tie.

'#stayhumble,' Sailor urged her fans in the caption.

Only two days earlier, Sailor candidly shared with fans how her body image insecurities had haunted her since she was a child. 

The model admitted to having 'baby fat' as a young girl, and had a hard time being a hundred percent confident in her appearance.

Sailor then added she's learned to embrace her body type.

'My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, I treat myself well, and for that I'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things about my body that beauty norms deem "undesirable". I now have grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things.
