The 19-year-old star equestrian turned supermodel poses in a teeny brown and red string bikini bottom and a matching triangle top that barely holds in her eye-popping assets.

While SI always features a scantily clad beauty on their cover, the 5-foot-10 teenage stunner's two-piece falls on the more scandalous end of the spectrum when compared to recent years.

In 2010, Brooklyn Decker (who was 22 at the time) went topless (she covered up her breasts with her arms) and wore a modest yellow bikini bottom. The following year, Russian model Irina Shayk (then 25) showed off her bod in a pink and yellow swimsuit that actually seemed to fit!
