Olivia Culpo frolics on beach in sexy swimwear in BTS content from Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover

Olivia Culpo recently reached a modeling milestone, as she landed the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

And the 2012 Miss Universe had just as much fun during the cover shoot as she's had promoting it on social media.

She frolicked on the beach in sexy swimwear with her fellow cover girls Kate Bock and Jasmine Sanders in some behind-the-scenes content, which she posted Tuesday to celebrate the release.

Bikini babe: Olivia Culpo sent temperatures soaring as she posted behind-the-scenes snaps of her beach photoshoot for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue on Instagram on Tuesday

The 28-year-old wrote: 'Posting some of my favorite @si_swimsuit BTS pictures in honor of the release today!! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. What a dream come true.'

She posted a photo of herself in a white bikini, lounging in a stone bathtub, floating with a layer of yellow flowers.

It was followed by an image of photographer Yu Tsai, standing atop a ladder and surrounded by a full crew.

Tsai later got down from his ladder and stripped down to his own bathing suit, as he cheesed it up with Culpo in the tub, which she captioned: 'Bathing with my friends is more fun.'
