While she’ll make her SI Swimsuit Issue debut next month, 2023 rookie Ellie Thumann is wasting no time modeling more swimwear in the meantime. 

The 21-year-old YouTuber shared a series of images on Instagram on April 26 in which she majorly channeled Pamela Anderson’s Baywatch days. Thumann emerged from the water in the first pic clad in a red one-piece swimsuit as she pushed her wet hair away from her face. She knelt in the sand and gave the camera her best smolder in another snap, while the third and final image in the collage depicted Thumann sprawled out in the sand with her eyes closed and her face toward the sun.

“a rare sighting of Ellie getting in the water,” the model quipped in her caption. She credited photographer Amadeo with the gorgeous images.

Plenty of Thumann’s 1.6 million IG followers ran to the comments to share their feedback.

“Rare sighting 🔥,” bestie Hannah Meloche agreed. “Absolutely stunning!!!”

“Baewatch,” Kit Clementine Keenan joked.

“Ur literally such a slay,” a fan gushed.

“Gorgeous ❤️,” Kelsey Jackson wrote.
