Australian-French model and writer Jennifer Atilémile is the newest SI Swimsuit Rookie.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit just announced its newest 2023 rookie, and it's Australian native Jennifer Atilémile, a model, writer, beauty advocate, and more.
The rising model uses her following and platform to encourage body positivity and improve the modeling industry for the better.
In 2020, she became Victoria’s Secret’s first Australian curve model, and she has already worked with major brands like Maybelline and Clarins. Now, she can add SI Swimsuit to her resume.
SI Swimsuit and Atilémile shared the amazing news through a joint post on Instagram.
MJ Day, SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief, wrote of the decision to cast Atilémile: "Jennifer is an inspiration to us all as she becomes one of the most prominent leaders of the body positivity movement, on top of that, she’s taking the fashion industry by storm, landing global campaigns, gracing the runways and using her platform to share her personal journey as she navigates the industry."
"We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jennifer as a rookie for the 2023 issue," Day added.
Many members of the SI Swimsuitfamily shared their excitement on the post, welcoming Atilémile to the crew.
Yumi Nu, the first-ever Asian plus-size model featured in SI Swimsuit as a rookie, said, "AHHHHHH!!!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU @jenniferatilemile 😍😍😍," while Katie Austin, another SI Swimsuit family member, added, "Yay!!!! Welcome @jenniferatilemile !!!❤️❤️❤️."
Other SI Swimsuit models, rookies, or Swim Search finalists who congratulated Atilémile included Hailey Clauson, Brooks Nader, Christen Harper, and Gabriella Halikas, among others.
Day also commented on the announcement, writing to Atilémile, "Happiest Rookie Day @jenniferatilemile!!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙."
For her first SI Swimsuit photoshoot, Atilémile traveled to Puerto Rico to work with photographer Derek Kettela on the stunning shots.
