Barbara Palvin has fans eyeing up throwback action of hers on X as they celebrate her Sports Illustrated Swim era. The Hungarian-born star, 32, had a stint with the magazine ahead of the pandemic, and it looks like her fans are keen on what she brought to the table. In August 2025, SI Swim reposted two shots of Barbara enjoying a beachfront shoot, and one swimsuit was especially racy. Flaunting her model figure in a metallic bathing suit, Barbara went one-shouldered in a clingy look that left half her chest exposed, although she did use one hand to stay safe. Ahead, see the photos, plus Barbara's hottest shots!

"When I did shows, my first two seasons were really good, but then it started to not work out because I was considered short, and I started to feel that modeling was not for me. I almost gave up," Palvin has revealed. Proving that her efforts paid off, she stunned in this street look, sending out style queen vibes in a green miniskirt and black ruched top.
