Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Xandra Pohl has done it again. The rising star, who has been turning heads since her debut, just dropped a black swimsuit photo on Instagram that has fans collectively losing their cool.
Pohl, who first graced the SI Swimsuit stage during the 2023 Miami Swim Week runway show, has quickly become a fan favorite. Her rookie photoshoot for the iconic magazine followed a year later, cementing her status as one of the industry's most exciting new faces.
In a recent interview, Pohl reflected on the magazine's enduring impact: "The legacy that Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit] has made, obviously in the first 60 years, has been monumental in not just the industry and the world, but also to all the young girls looking up to all the models of all shapes, sizes, races, whatever it is. We are all beautiful [and deserve to be] confident in our own bodies. I feel like that is the best legacy you could ever leave."
Her latest Instagram post, featuring a sleek black swimsuit, has ignited a firestorm of reactions. Comments range from "Insane" from fellow SI Swimsuit model Christen Goff to "Goodness… who cares about the sunset" from an admirer, with others chiming in with "You are stunning" and a simple "MERCY."
This isn't the first time Pohl has caused a stir. Just a week ago, she went viral in Baton Rouge simply by showing up to an SEC showdown between LSU and Texas A&M. Her presence alone was enough to set social media ablaze.
As an Ohio State fan, Pohl might be gearing up for more college football appearances this season. But for now, her swimsuit snapshots are keeping fans more than satisfied.
Pohl joins a long line of models who have captured the internet's attention with stunning beach photos, much like Livvy Dunne's recent vacation snaps and the social media frenzy over Tiffany Stratton's swimsuit photo. Even UFC ring girls have sparked similar buzz with their own sizzling shots.
With her undeniable charm and striking looks, Pohl is well on her way to becoming the next big name in swimsuit modeling, following in the footsteps of legends like Kate Upton.
