The sexy video of Sailor for the Caribbean themed shoot sees the stunning blonde prance around the Aruba Hilton Resort in tiny little bikinis.
All of the swimsuits she wore looked perfect on her taut frame as she donned a pretty white bride-themed swimsuit from For Love & Lemons and a Tutu by Todd Patrick Designs.
Another stunning look was her sparkly navy sheer three-quarter sleeve top by D.Bleu Dazzled paired with a swimsuit by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
Some of her other sexy looks were her pink floral Andi Bagus bikini and the stunning see-through gold low-cut Milkbaby Bikini by Cat Thordarson.
Aside from Sailor getting her flawless genes from her mother, she also shared with HollywoodLife how close the mother-daughter-duo became since Sailor started her career.
As for the best advice Christie gave Sailor, ‘She mostly just told me to be myself and to be kind to others, and that’s the biggest thing.

‘I feel like the best career that you can have in the modeling industry is just being who you are and being kind to others and letting jobs and clients and everything flow.’
Sailor continued to say how her modeling career has changed her relationship with her mom for the better, ‘We definitely relate now to a lot more things.
‘I can text her and be like, “Oh this is so nerve-racking” or something like that and she’ll give me some advice or tell me about a time she was in that place, or anything, you know?
‘So we definitely have a lot more conversation about that type of stuff.’
The mother-daughter models bonded even more last year when Sailor posed alongside her mom and sister Alexa Ray Joel, 32, for the 2017 issue.
Plus, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues are a piece of cake for Christie who has appeared in the magazine eight times between 1975 and 2004.
Christie also landed the Swimsuit cover in 1979 going on to land the highly-coveted spot again for the next two years in a row, setting the all-time record as the first model to ever grace the cover consecutively.

Despite Sailor’s cheeky Caribbean shoot, the blonde model bared it all for another empowering nude shoot for the issue and had no problem hitting back at critics who claimed she’s objectifying herself.
Sailor was one of the models who stripped down and turned her body into a canvas for the publications’s In Her Own Words project.
After the SI Swimsuit issue dropped last week, Sailor took to Instagram to defend the spread and her choice to participate in it.
‘Hearing the backlash towards the In Her Own Words project hurts my heart,’ she wrote.
‘To know that we are in a world where if a woman chooses to embrace her body, strip nude and pose powerfully she is being told she is objectifying herself makes me not only uncomfortable but makes me really feel the need to say what I’m about to say.’
Calm: Explaining that her mother is able to calm her nerves, Sailor said she could text her mom anything and she’ll give her some advice

Black and white photos from the shoot show Sailor posing completely naked with ‘truthful’ words written all over her body, and she made sure to stress that she wanted to be a part of the project, as did the other models.
‘This project, for me and for the other girls who CHOSE to participate, was about TAKING OUR POWER BACK,’ she said.
‘In an industry where it is rare for models to have a say in the content they are being used to create, having total self control and creative control during the IHOW shoot was true and unbridled self empowerment.’
Sailor said the ‘very emotional’ project took over a year to complete, noting that she was on every on of the shoots.

‘When a girl came in to shoot it was a real experience,’ she explained, ‘it wasn’t on a time limit and it didn’t have corporate heads you didn’t know the name of screaming to ‘get the shot!’
‘It was a group of women working together to create something special for the world and most importantly themselves. Models/athletes/PEOPLE chose to do this. They did not get told to do this,’ she added.
Sailor insisted there was no pressure to pose for the spread. If a model was feeling too emotional and didn’t want to be on set that day, she didn’t have to. She would come back the next day, and they would talk about how they were feeling.
‘If someone backed out, all good, we understood how emotional it can be to strip yourself of not only clothes but an armor we all put up from exterior criticism,’ she said.
‘This project had the intention of showing women feeling POWERFUL in who they are. That’s that,’ she added.

The powerful project meant a lot to Sailor, who has candidly spoken about how she used to struggle with body image and the pressure to be thin.
‘I grew up hating my body and myself thus creating a overlying insecurity felt throughout my teen years’ she wrote. ‘Doing this project helped me turn a leaf in my confidence and insecurity.
‘I feel sexy I feel secure I feel badass I feel like I can pose naked and be respected just as much as anyone else,’ she ended her post.
The powerful project was particularly meaningful for Sailor.
‘It was really special to be a part of this and get to express myself in a very raw, uncensored way,’ she said. ‘Having these words written all over your naked body and having that next level of exposure — I felt sexy, obviously, but I felt more emotional and it helped me accept myself.’
Sailor wrote ‘artist’ on her arm and ‘natural’ on the curve of her backside before striking an elegant pose for the project.
