Andreea Dragoi is getting racy in her latest Instagram post. The college swimmer, who is studying kinesiology, sports management and psychology at San José State University, shared a stunning series of photos with her 63,000 followers.

She donned a stringy black bikini featuring a top with a cut-out in the center of her chest and strappy thong bottoms. Dragoi was photographed from miles above, posing on the sand. She added gold hoop earrings and a cropped crochet cover-up with flared sleeves from Edikted.

“sandy cheeks,” she aptly captioned the post with a loose reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants character.

Dragoi tagged Miami-based photographer Avonté Boykins. In the first snap, her knees were bent and she ran one hand through her light brown locks. In the next, she laid on her stomach and propped herself up with her forearms. In the final slide, the Bucharest, Romania native leaned her neck and head back till her hair touched the sand.

“WoW wow wow 😍,” one fan commented.

“Face and body carddd🔥🔥,” another added.

“LITERAL magazine cover right here,” someone else gushed. “im very obsessed w you💛.”

The 20-year-old was featured on the cover of French art magazine Malvie in March. She was also the winner of the the 2022 Miss California U.S. Nation Pageant.
