Sports Illustrated model Hailey Clauson shows off her slender figure in a plunging yellow bikini

She’s been enjoying time away from fashion’s leading runways amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

And Hailey Clauson enjoyed a break away in Sedona, Arizona, where she got back to nature for a slew of sizzling snaps on Wednesday.

The Sports Illustrated model, 25, looked sensational as she showed off her statuesque figure in a plunging yellow bikini while wading in a river.

Hailey wore a bikini top that showed off a glimpse of her underboob, while her briefs sat high on her waist to accentuate her slender legs and pert posterior.

She paired the swimwear with a simple white shirt that she wore off her shoulders, and the model accessorised with a pair of leopard-print sunglasses.

The beauty’s golden locks fell over her shoulders in a tousled style and she used a natural palette of make-up for the outing. 

Hailey first began her career as a professional model at the age of 14, when she was signed on the spot by Ford Models at an open casting call in Los Angeles.

The blonde went on to star in campaigns for Gucci, Calvin Klein, Topshop and Zara, and was even featured in an alternate music video for Jay-Z’s Empire State Of Mind with other top models lip-syncing to the lyrics.

Though she’d already modelled for an impressive array of brands, a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2016 helped her rocket to fame.

While speaking with the Associated Press recently, Hailey credited Sports Illustrated for reviving her career.

The catwalk star said: ‘I started really young. My body changed and nobody wanted me anymore until I met Sports Illustrated. I was not a size zero and I had curves and they accepted me the way I was.

‘And I think they continue to do that with girls that people don’t expect and they’re setting a really great example.’
