Duckie Thot is back with a bang. The SI Swimsuit model, who made her debut in Montenegro last year, returned to the magazine for the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue and was photographed by Derek Kettela in Puerto Rico.
The South Sudanese-Australian model, who is best known for being the face of Fenty Beauty, entered the industry at 17 when she was on Season 8 of Australia’s Next Top Model.
“I am so excited to be a rookie for Sports Illustrated 2022,” Thot said during her debut with the magazine last year. “I think it’s just kind of finding your groove with all the looks and just having fun with it. Ever since I knew I wanted to model, Sports Illustrated has always been on my list, so I’m so glad I get to kick it off and be a rookie.”
Today, the 27-year-old uses her platform to advocate for diversity and inclusion in the industry.
Below are six of our favorite photos from her 2023 photo shoot in Puerto Rico.
