Just when winter starts to feel like it will never end, out comes the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine to tempt us with gorgeous beaches and sexy skin baring looks. Sailor Brinkley Cook scored her first ever spot in the magazine, and looked like a golden goddess in her Beach Bunny sequinned bikini.
In fact, she looked like like a siren, luring sailors to her sandy shores. Sign us up for that sun, sand, and turquoise waters!
Her itsy bitsy bikini has also been worn by Kylie Jenner and Bella Thorne before. The metal hoops are a nice touch (watch out for tan lines though) and that gold sequin embellishment will make you feel like a mermaid when you emerge from the water.

She continued: 'And to be coming back to a magazine i’ve idolized forever as a rookie is such a dream. Thank you SI for not only letting me create fun images but for giving me artistic opportunities assisting photographers and being a crew member shooting BTS for ‘In her own words’ and if course THANK YOU for giving me the chance and the platform and the belief in me to speak out about subjects close to my heart. I am grateful beyond words. LETS PARTY!!!!'

Speaking to SI about the experience, Sailor said: 'I feel so grateful to be part of such a game-changing issue. The girls are all different shapes and sizes and colors. It’s the most beautiful thing to me to see that range of human beings represented.'
She added: 'I’m excited for girls that look like me, and don’t have huge boobs and a huge butt, to see me and think, "Maybe girls that have B-cups can be in Sports Illustrated."'
One part of the shoot saw Sailor posing completely naked for a feature called 'In her own words' in which her body was painted with meaningful words to send an empowering message.
The teen daubed her skin with words which meant a lot to her along with models Paulina Porizkova, 52, and Robyn Lawley, 28.

Talking about her experience of going nude on set, Sailor told People: 'It was a really beautiful thing because it’s a female-powered project so I walked in [to the shoot] and it’s my friend Mary doing makeup and my friend Taylor doing the photos and my other friend Robin doing the videos,
'I’m just like "what’s up gals?" It’s like we're in the locker room or something except we're making something really beautiful and important.'
Last year Sailor posed alongside mom Christie, 64 and sister Alexa Ray Joel, 32, for the 2017 issue.
Alexa is Christie's daughter from her marriage to musician Billy Joel and she also has son Jack, 22, with ex-husband Richard Taubman.
