Nazanin Mandi In Sports Illustrated Bikini Shoot Is 'A Joke'

2025 is definitely Nazanin Mandi's winning year. The actress and model continues to smash her personal goals, one of them being landing a spot as a Sports Illustrated swimwear rookie.

Her celebratory post on Instagram was met with a lot of excitement, including one fan calling her "a joke."

Nazanin Mandi stunned fans with sultry pictures from her shoot with Sports Illustrated back in May. The three-slide carousel captured the model in her element as she posed for the camera while rocking different stylish bikini looks.

In the first slide, Nazanin leaned against a swing, eyes closed as she laughed heartily. The picture radiated the joy, light, and carefree aura that's her brand, even as the angle expertly showcased her stunning figure.

In another slide, Mandi stood on a balcony of sorts, raising her hands to frame her face as she smiled brightly at the camera.

Nazanin Mandi rocked two stunning bikinis in this post. One was made from red and white striped material. Its top was a classic triangle cut with adjustable cups that emphasized her cleavage and exposed some side boobs. Its cups extended upwards to thick red halter neck straps that sat pretty on her toned shoulders.

Its bottom was high-waisted with tiny strings that tied at the sides, emphasizing the curve of her hip and her toned abs.

The next look was a strapless bandeau bikini top in bright orange and featuring hot pink trim that contrasted beautifully with her olive skin. Its daring top had a metal cinch in the middle so that the gathered effect highlighted her cleavage and revealed some of her underboob.

Its bottom, on the other hand, was high-cut with tiny string sides that elongated her legs and showcased her waist.

Nazanin's Sports Illustrated post immediately lit up with comments from fans and well-wishers who were excited about this new feat.

"Congratulations, my love, no one deserves this more than you," a user typed. "Congratulations, I love you so much, you earned it," another user chimed in.

There were also several compliments. An avid admirer typed, "They did you justice… as if it's possible to take a bad pic of you… You look amazing as usual."

Then came an excited user who gleefully typed "You're a joke!" followed by a barrage of heart-eyed emojis.

A few days later, Nazanin shared another sizzling Sports Illustrated picture. This time, she wore a tiny brown and blue bikini that left little to the imagination.

This sultry piece consisted of an itty-bitty triangle top with cups that covered a small portion of her bust, leaving a significant part of her boobs exposed. The bottom wasn't just high-cut; its front panel had a deep V-cut that further elongated her legs and emphasized her waist.

The bikini's rich brown color, accentuated with blue trim, highlighted her olive tone, causing her skin to glow as she posed by the pool. Combine this with her smoldering stare and sultry pose, and Nazanin literally had all her fans in a chokehold.

Nazanin Mandi also rocked a white bikini outfit for the Sports Illustrated shoot. This bikini look was a three-piece ensemble featuring a classic triangle top, high-cut bikini panties, and a matching mesh sleeveless shirt.

Mandi styled the look by tying the shirt mid-torso so that her flat abs were on display for the world to admire. The bottom's high cut and long side ties also added to her allure, further emphasizing her slim waist and toned figure.
