Rookie SI Swim model Meredith Mickelson took to social media to share her very first scorching pics for the iconic magazine.
In the pic, her first for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, she rocks a skimpy green one-piece that is both cheeky and boasts a steamy sideview.
Her caption for the Tuesday, May 12 Instagram share consisted of the long list of fashion and beauty credits. The three-image carousel post also featured two sizzling bikini posts — in one, she wears animal print and thick boots; in the second, she rocks a barely-there sequined top. The photos were taken by Ruven Afanador in Botswana.
“I’m just OBSESSED with u,” wrote one of this year’s cover stars, Alix Earle. The influencer is newly single after ending a years-long relationship with Houston Texans player Braxton Berrios. She’s also been spotted partying with Tom Brady and Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow.
“Gorgeous,” added SI Swim alum Olivia Ponton, Burrow’s rumored girlfriend.
“Speechless,” commented Brooks Koepka’s wife, Jena Sims, who also appears in the issue with Mickelson.

Mickelson’s friends and fans were also beside themselves.
“Oooo merrrrr this is big time 🔥,” wrote one.
“Wow wow wow Meredith,” raved another.
“Suddenly I want to go hiking 🥾,” quipped a third.
