Two-Pièce de Résistance: Jessica Gomes, 2009

This was Jessica’s sophomore year, and the year she nestled into my brain as one of my all-time favorite models.

She was mostly in tans and earth tones that year, and a lot of her shots take place against this craggy, grey wasteland, making the shoot less beachy, more post-apocalyptic.

This is the opposite of a high-cut suit, but it is no less sexy for it. It taps into my love of the full-body sheath of a one-piece, but moreso. Then it adds a wonderful wet cling — psychedelic swirls where the fabric hugs her, alongside a few islands where it’s drier, or where there’s a bit of space between the suit and her body.

There’s a lot of engaging detail, I guess is what I’m saying.

Top it off with a cleavage-window and Jessica’s sly “I know what you’re thinking” side-eye, and it combines everything I love about her.
