Reddit users reacted to a 2022 repost of sunkissed beach photographs featuring Hayley Kalil. The Sports Illustrated Swim star, aged 34, appeared in a micro string bathing suit that evoked Baywatch aesthetics. One commenter questioned why she lacked a dedicated subreddit, while another agreed she deserved one. Kalil maintains a following of 9 million on Instagram.

Malibu Shoot Draws Fan Attention

An X user shared the images in April of this year, noting they were reportedly taken in Malibu, CA. In one shot, Kalil raised her arms, emphasizing her cleavage in a halterneck string bikini of bold red color.

Comments Highlight Physique Details

Kalil wore a skimpy triangle top that showcased sideboob and toned shoulders. Fans observed her abs, curvaceous hips, and long legs as she posed from various angles, including leaning over a railing. A Reddit user described her chest as looking “so good,” with another adding it appeared “perky and full.”

The model entered SI Swim through its first-ever Search competition in 2018. She previously held a Miss Minnesota title and participated in other beauty pageants.

Bodysuit Photo From Modeling Debut

A black-and-white image likely dates to after Kalil signed with Wilhelmina Models in 2018. She wears a plunging bodysuit, displaying her curves and long legs. Speaking to Untitled Magazine, she recalled her early life: “As a nerdy kid growing up in Minnesota, modeling seemed like an impossible dream. Thankfully, I built up the courage and submitted a casting video to the iconic SI Swimsuit for their first-ever open casting call. To my surprise, they invited me to the casting in NYC.”

Other SI Swim Stars Listed

Kalil is not the only model whose career advanced via SI Swim. Kate Upton debuted her bikini body with the magazine in 2011. Olivia Dunne became the 2025 Cover Girl. Emily Ratajkowski highlighted her “big jugs” for the publication. Penny Lane went viral walking for SI Swim in a see-through swimsuit.
