Back in a bikini! Chrissy Teigen looks flawless as she returns to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue months after welcoming baby Luna
Chrissy Teigen welcomed her baby daughter Luna in April.
And months later the 31-year-old model stripped down to skimpy string bikinis to be a part of 2017's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The first image of the wife of John Legend posing on the beach was released on Wednesday along with a video of the Utah native discussing her return to bathing suit photo shoots.

More to see: The star also appeared in a video for Sports Illustrated where she talked about her return
Years: 'It's been awhile since I've done anything swimsuit,' she said as she posed in a purple top that had turquoise accents with matching string bikini briefs
Sports Illustrated shared a clip of the star talking about posing in a swimsuit again.
'It's been awhile since I've done anything swimsuit,' she said.
'I haven't shot since baby. But of course you know that [SI Swimsuit editor] MJ [Day] and everyone at Sports Illustrated in general is going to embrace your body no matter what's happening and embrace the changes.'
Wild thing! The beauty has appeared in the magazine several times before. Last year the beauty went topless

In the video, she is seen in an array of swimwear.

Tickle them with a tasseled PilyQ bikini like Chrissy
Chrissy Teigen welcomed baby Luna less than a year ago into the world, yet she was back in her bikini for Sports Illustrated Swimwear this month.
The shoot was for the SI Illustrated magazine for this year and Chrissy looked incredible. She started off apparently wanting to wear one-pieces only, but the star oozed confidence after being coaxed into itsy-bitsy bikinis.
This two-piece was particularly pretty with its printed design and cute tassel finish. It's by PilyQ and a similar one is up for grabs at ShopBop (click right).
The pastels hues will look gorgeous on the beach this summer and despite it still being rather chilly out there, it's time you got thinking about your new swimwear wardrobe before all the good bits get snapped up!
If you want to see other fab tassel options, head to the line up of alternatives below to choose from bikinis by the likes of Maaji, Lord & Taylors and Club Bossa.

In one session, Teigen has on a bright purple bikini set. The top is untied and she holds it strategically so that not all of her chest is showing.
In another set she has on a string bikini with a pale pattern. In the middle of the top is a coral-colored tassel that dangles down to her tummy.
In another setup, the star leans on a boulder as she sticks her bottom out. She is topless.
The TV host has been in the issue many times before. Last year she went topless for the publication.

Along with the release of her photo was the announcement that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has teamed up with DIRECTV NOW for the Making Of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2017.
It will air exclusively on DIRECTV NOW beginning in mid-February, and will offer viewers a glimpse behind the scenes during the creation of the iconic issue.
This year’s edition of SI Swimsuit includes 'models of all shapes and sizes - from athletes to mothers to traditional models -from all around the world.' according to press release.
She sure snapped back into shape fast: At one point the red carpet favorite put a pink scarf over her head as she modeled this pink, purple, orange, turquoise and red top
Bonus shot: While leaning against a boulder, the stunner put a hand up to her face and one leg up
