Berkleigh Wright Channels Vintage Vibes In Ab-Flaunting Bikini Photo

The 30-year-old sports-illustrated swimsuit model takes a movie-style black and white photo dripping into retro energy, and fans are eating it. The image, taken by photographer Maria Piracci, captures the lights at the bottom of a cropped baby tee and a low-rise string-shaped bikini, clutching the vintage camera with a smile illuminating the frame, revealing its sculpted abs and sparkling figure.

The Kansas native has led to simple and refreshing confidence with her long blonde hair cascaded with soft waves and minimal makeup that enhances her natural glow. With her fun expressions and carefree poses, Wright gave off the vibe of a serious beach babe from the 2000s. He declares to one fan, “I’m giving the 2008 Hollister model. I love it.” Her caption simply reads “On (Movie)” and lets the atmosphere speak while keeping things cool and reserved.

It didn’t take long for Wright’s followers to fill the comments section with praise. Fellow SI swimsuit rookie Sharina Gutierrez rang out on “Love This,” with others dropping comments like “subtle” and “Superstar!!!” And “madness.” The glowing feedback is nothing new to Wright, who quickly established himself as a fan favorite since debuting in the 2023 SI swimsuit 60th anniversary issue. “You’re beautiful and beautiful!” one fan wrote, while another simply said, “This is so cute!!!”

Light’s trip to spotlight began when she began in collaboration with the 2023 SI Swim Search Casting Call. This is a bold leap where Derek Kettera was photographed in Belize for his rookie function. Before modeling full-time, he was a Denver Broncos cheerleader and team captain. Currently based in Los Angeles, she still balances the role of a technical account manager at Oracle, while steadily building her presence in front of the camera.

For Light, being a part of an SI swimsuit is beyond glamour. “I took this leap in faith because I feel that sports illustration (swimsuits) is a world-class organization that embodies everything I strive for as a woman,” she shared. “It extends beyond beauty. They support being a strong individual with depth, brain, kindness and sincerity.” The brand’s celebration of authenticity and empowerment resonates deeply with her. She is committed to spreading that message. “Si Swim has helped me to accept those ideals for myself, and now I am trying to imprint that idea on others.”

Wright is a multi-system that is building waves in both the tech and modeling industries, and uses her platform to redefine strength and beauty. “When you think of SI swimsuits, I think they’re ‘strong’,” she said. “I think the brand is made up of such a diverse group of really, really strong women who support other strong women.

Whether she rocks her bikini on the beach or balances her roles in the corporate and fashion world, Wright proves that her confidence, reliability and a throwback vibe can come a long way.
