Lily Aldridge was not your ordinary SI Swimsuit rookie when she traveled to the Cook Islands.
Having landed the cover of Spanish Vogue as a teenager, she made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut and earned her angel wings the following year. (She continued to walk for the lingerie brand)
Suffice it to say, she was already an industry veteran when she joined Chrissy Teigen and Nina Agdal on the Polynesian island.
Experience paid off as the trio were featured on the cover of SI Swimsuit’s 50th Anniversary Issue.
