The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is a breeding ground for up-and-coming models [1], and this year's cover star [2] proves that. The 24-year-old model, Danielle Herrington, officially became the third black woman to appear on the cover, joining Tyra Banks [3] and Beyoncé.
The stunning model posed seductively on the pristine beaches of the Caribbean islands wearing a sexy string bikini. Her Barbie pink bikini from Ola Vida featured a strappy top and scandalous thong bottoms [4]. Read on to see why everyone is mesmerized by her cover, see more of her IRL swimsuit shots [5], and buy similar versions of her bikini.
