Fitness influencer Katie Austin returned for her third year with SI Swimsuit and was photographed by James Macari in the Dominican Republic.
The styling on set was inspired by the popular Barbiecore aesthetic in anticipation of the upcoming Greta Gerwig live action film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The 2022 co-Rookie of the Year’s collection of swimsuits on set involved lots of fun colors, patterns and styles. While her favorite one was a teeny tiny blue floral two-piece by Andi Bagus, there was another suit that really stood out.

“I really also liked my pink latex [swimsuit]. It was very Barbie,” she tells SI Swimsuit during the magazine’s launch weekend in Florida. “It really reminded me of my mom’s old workout leotards and so that was kind of like a cool full-circle moment. My mom saw it, of course, and it also reminded her of what she used to wear on TV.”

The 29-year-old is the daughter of 1990s fitness icon Denise Austin. The duo famously walked the runway together during Miami Swim Week last July.
“It was so fun especially to do that runway together last year and to like bring her into something that I’m doing because usually I’m involved in her stuff and she’s showing me the ropes,” the 2021 Swim Search co-winner continues. “She’s so proud of me. She’s always looking out for me. Oh my gosh, I could not live without my mom.”
