If you’re ever in need of a confidence boost, find your way over to Sixtine’s TikTok account. The 2023 SI Swimsuit rookie and body neutrality influencer uses her platform to remind her more than 800,000 followers that they’re perfect just as they are, and the 25-year-old exudes an authentic self-assurance that you can’t help but mimic in your own life. Take, for example, this recent reminder that all bodies are bikini bodies.

We chatted with Sixtine during magazine launch week events at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., about her rookie year, her new swimwear collaboration with Londre and more. The model, who posed for Yu Tsai in Dominica for this year’s publication, also divulged her personal favorite swimwear look of the moment.

“I really like red swimsuits right now. I like the high cut bikini, not high rise, but high cut, a little bit of cheekiness,” Sixtine shares. “Then I like the tops [with] cups in them. The triangle ones, I feel like they just never are doing what I want ’em to do. So that's my go-to top, but [it’s] usually always a bikini.”
