Penny Lane’s Bare-Backed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Promo Gets A 'Standing Ovation'

Model Penny Lane is bringing serious fire to the streets of Switzerland, or rather, the rooftops, in her latest shoot for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

Posing in a daring, barely-there grey monokini, Penny Lane struck sultry silhouettes against the backdrop of Zurich’s iconic skyline, turning an already breathtaking view into a jaw-dropping moment of fashion meets fantasy.

The strappy, high-cut one-piece flaunted her curves with bold cutouts and an open back, while cozy shearling-lined high-tops added an unexpected twist of sporty street style. With golden hour lighting casting dramatic shadows across her legs, Penny looked every bit the SI star she is.

"The 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is on newsstands now, get yours today! #siswim25," she captioned the post, which was shared on May 13.

"A babeee!" one fan commented.

"Standing ovation," another said.

"Heavenly," a third wrote.

The stunning rooftop moment was captured by photographer Derek Kettela, with glam handled by makeup artist Tracy Murphy and hairstylist Adam Maclay.

Fashion Editor Margot Zamet styled the look alongside Fashion Assistant Liz Wentworth, while production came courtesy of Cindi Blair Productions and J Sanchez.

"What if we told you… it was never just one?" Sports Illustrated Swimsuit captioned the promo video. "Four women. Four stories. One unforgettable moment. "Meet our #SISwim25 cover stars."

"Ahhhhh so amazing!!!!!! Inspiring!! Iconic!!" one social media user commented.

"WOW!" someone else expressed.

"Okkkkkkkkkkkkkayyyy," another said.

Back in March, Penny stunned in a barely-there slate blue bikini that’s equal parts sultry and sophisticated.

With her tousled blonde hair swept back and arms raised to the sky, Penny served confidence and grace as the sunlight highlights every angle of her sculpted physique. The triangle top and high-cut tie bottoms leave little to the imagination, but it’s the model’s fierce expression and effortless poise that truly steal the spotlight.

"Mind, body, and soul— she embodies it all," Sports Illustrated captioned the post. "Penny Lane returns to the pages of the 2025 #SISwimsuit Issue, hitting stands this May."

"Penny!!!!!! OMG!!" one social media user commented on the post.

"OMG - screaming" another wrote.

"Aaaaaaa I loveeee youuu wowwww," a third said.

Several others commented fire flame emojis and red heart emojis to express their thoughts.

Last year, Penny Lane served sunshine and confidence, radiating effortless beauty in a candy red striped bikini that practically sizzles in the golden hour light. With her natural glow on full display and not a single accessory out of place, Penny proved that summer’s hottest trend might just be a megawatt smile.

The ultra-thin string bikini hugs her curves while giving retro beach babe energy, but it’s her radiant skin, glowing makeup, and delicate “P” charm necklace that make the look feel uniquely hers.

"Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and her fairy tales," she captioned the post.

"God exists!" one of her followers commented.

"Just absolutely gorgeous," another said.

"Lady. Omg. Can I have your body?? You are perfect. 10/10," a third expressed.

If there was ever any doubt that Penny Lane was the moment, her 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover puts it to rest.

Dripping in glamour, quite literally, Penny stuns in a wet-look black bikini that clings in all the right places, radiating confidence, sensuality, and cover-star power. The sleek, barely-there top features gold detailing at the center for just a hint of shine, while Penny’s skin glistens under falling water.

With her arms raised and slicked-back hair cascading down her back, the model exudes strength and serenity in perfect balance, a signature blend that’s made her one of SI’s most talked-about rising stars.

"LAUNCH DAY! SPORTS ILLUSTRATED ROOKIE 2024 BABY!" she captioned the post.

"You look so beautiful and mesmerizing," one fan wrote, adding, "Too hot to handle."

"You’re simply amazing. So gorgeous," another said.

"You are the living embodiment of the scrumdiddlyumptious bar," a third commented.
