Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue celebrated A-list 49ers WAG Olivia Culpo with a throwback look at some of her most sizzling pics in barely-there bikinis.

In an article posted Sunday, September 7 — the same day Culpo’s husband, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Christian McCaffrey, led his team to a 17-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks — the iconic magazine revisited Culpo’s stunning 2021 photo shoot.

The flawless actress and model was in the magazine and appearance circuit for many years and graced the cover of the iconic magazine in 2020. The 2021 was the last time she did posed for the magazine, but SI loves to bring back its favorites, so don’t discount a triumphant return in the future. The magazine even called the shoot her “most recent” — not final.

In the 2021 photos, Culpo leaned back in a turquoise lounger to flaunt her chiseled abs in a golden string bikini. The look led the magazine to say she was “looking like a slice of sunshine personified.” She also hit the pool for a crochet two-piece and rocked a cheeky blue suit — and an enviable tan — on the beach.

Culpo, 33, and McCaffrey, 29, married last year and welcomed a baby girl in July. The magazine raved about her “breathtaking” Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown. “And Culpo certainly knows how to cause a commotion when it comes to her unique takes on classic styles,” said the article.
