Model Hannah Ferguson showcases a selection of barely-there bikinis as she stars in Sports Illustrated's first ever off-season swimsuit shoot
Wearing a bikini is second nature for rising model Hannah Ferguson, so it is no surprise that the Texas bombshell has been chosen to star in the first ever off-season Sports Illustrated Swimsuit series - Summer of Swim.
The 23-year-old beauty from San Angelo flaunted her toned physique in the season's hottest bikinis and one pieces for the sultry spread, which debuted yesterday on Sports Illustrated's swimsuit-focused website Swim Daily.
Hannah stripped down to next to nothing for the images, which were photographed by Nicholas Routzen at the Trump Soho hotel in New York City in late April.

And the two-time Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is quickly becoming one of the brand's rising stars.
Hannah was photographed for the magazine by Ben Morris on the historic Route 66 in 2015 and snapped by Walter Iooss in St Lucia in 2014.
And in January it was announced that Sports Illustrated had named her one of the 12 rookies 'picked to carry the Swimsuit franchise into its next 50 years'.

Hannah, who has been dubbed 'the next Kate Upton', spoke with Daily Mail Online last month about her work as a model.
'The highlight of my career so far is achieving my goal of being in Sports Illustrated,' she admitted.
Hannah continued: 'That's the whole reason I wanted to start modelling in the first place. I had a goal and being able to accomplish that and achieve it is huge for me. It's also good for other people to hear and see, and say it's inspiring.'
