Less than one year after XANDRA made her SI Swimsuit debut at our Miami Swim Week runway show last summer, she joined us in Belize for her R O O K I E photoshoot where she brought that same infectiously bubbly personality and undeniable confidence queen energy that we admired so much from the first moment we met her.

In between takes while on set we got the chance to hear all about how XANDRA says she is now in a whole new era of her life where she can confidently say, “I love who I am” and we are SO here for it. 💕

Read all about Xandra's journey that has led her to a year for the record books and see her first few images for our 60th anniversary issue here: https://swimsuit.si.com/swimnews/2024...
