SI Swimsuit models really can do both: stun in a teeny tiny bikini on a beach and pivot to a stunning ball gown, full face of glam, heels and elegant jewelry.

Lindsey Vonn and Ashley Graham reunited at the Time 100 Gala. Ciara, Kelsey Merritt and Jasmine Sanders served major legs at the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards. And, as always, models including Ellie Thumann, Sixtine Rouyre, Camille Kostek, Katie Austin and more posted breathtaking swimsuit photos.
