Model and actress Kim Alexis posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue six times between her debut in 1982 and her most recent feature in ’88. During that time, she traveled everywhere from Kenya to Jamaica to Australia with the brand.

On Monday, the 62-year-old shared a throwback from her mid-1980s feature in Aruba with photographer Paolo Curto that perfectly depicts her adventurous attitude. Alexis donned a shiny black one-piece swimsuit by Norma Kamali with ultra high-cut hips, which she accessorized with yellow scuba goggles. The model struck a pose with a hand on one hip, while the other rested on her thigh.

“Beach days are ALWAYS fun! Can you believe they made me wear these goggles... Who looks good in goggles? 🤣📸 @si_sportsillustrated @sportsillustrated,” Alexis playfully wrote to her 19,900 Instagram followers.

“You look great with the goggles,” one person applauded. “Apparently that’s why you were chosen to wear them. Such natural beauty. 💕.”

“Another photo that I remember,” someone else reflected.

“That’s because the goggles are SWAG,” another fan observed.

“You do. You look good in goggles. However, I think you’re part of the 1% [that] does. 😁,” an additional follower noted.
