Nazanin Mandi Poses In Bikini For Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Nazanin Mandi is an extremely successful model. She’s notably worked with brands like Savage x Fenty, Pretty Little Thing, and Olay. Nazanin can now add Sports Illustrated Swimsuit to that list, as she is a member of their 2025 Rookie class, and appeared in this year’s edition. Nazanin shared a photo from her shoot on Instagram. In it, she posed by the pool in a brown bikini with blue straps. Her amazing figure was on display. Nazanin captioned the post, “There’s something honest about the first look—the one before overthinking, it’s instinctive and raw. @si_swimsuit out now 💫” How does Nazanin Mandi get her bikini body? Here are 5 of her secrets.
She Weight Trains
Nazanin shared her process of getting ready for the Savage x Fenty show with Paper Magazine. Naturally, she did a lot of working out prior to the show. Nazanin specifically credits weight training with getting her body in runway shape. “Luckily, I work out regularly. It’s a lifestyle for me, for my health and mental health. But I did up the workouts. I upped the weight training.”
She Uses Vaseline On Her Face
Nazanin has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed one tip she got from her mother to New Beauty. “I’m Mexican and Persian, and growing up, my mother always applied Vaseline to my eyelashes to help them stay strong and grow—it works and I still do it to this day. I think it might be a cultural thing; I know other Mexicans growing up used to do the same thing. It’s just one of those little family secrets that we do.”
She’s Open
While Nazanin has an amazing body, she hasn’t always been comfortable with it. The model has been open about her struggles with body dysmorphia, and she hopes that doing so will not only help her, but others. “I feel like the more that we talk about it, the more it will slowly become easier,” Nazanin explained to New Beauty. “On social media, more and more people are becoming more open with their struggles, which is great. A downfall of social media is that everything looks roses and perfect, and it’s not. The more we normalize these conversations, the more and more people will jump in. I’m seeing that more often now.”
She Eats Healthy Before A Show
Nazanin makes sure to eat healthy before she has a modeling job. She tells New Beauty that she changed her diet prior to the Fenty show. “In prepping for it, I was working out more and just being a little stricter with my diet. In general, I eat pretty healthy, but, at least two weeks before the show, I was really, really strict with what I ate. Then, on-set, they did little tricks that most of us know—but I was in full latex!”
She Sets Goals
When it comes to her career, Nazanin sets goals and expectations for herself, rather than having others set them for her. In fact, she did this when she did her Sports Illustrated shoot. “I placed the expectations on myself,” Nazanin told SI Swim. “Not on anybody else. My standards for myself are just so high. So I’m prepared, I worked out, did all of that.”
