Katie Austin is always dropping throwback behind-the-scenes content from her SI Swimsuit photo shoots, and her latest IG post might be the most exciting clip yet. The 29-year-old returns to the magazine this week after being photographed by James Macari in the Dominican Republic earlier this year.

Austin, who was named co-Rookie of the Year after her feature in the 2022 issue, shared a stunning clip that showed off her toned and sun-kissed body in a teeny tiny watermelon print bikini. She danced around to Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin’s hit song,“I Like It.”

“ATTN: SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT LAUNCHES NEXT WEEK!!! @si_swimsuit 🥳 can’t wait to be back for another year🤍 thankful for you ALWAYS @mj_day,” she captioned the video. “AND the best part is, you all can celebrate with us next weekend in Hollywood, FL at the @hardrockholly 🎉 get your tickets for fun parties, meet + greets, and more on @si.tickets 💫.”

“UNREALLLLLLL,” wrote 2023 rookie Mady Dewey.

“Cutie," Rachell Vallori applauded. “So happy for you.”
