Sharina Gutierrez: 2024 Portugal

Sharina Gutierrez was photographed by Ben Watts in Porto and the North, Portugal, for the 2024 SI Swimsuit Issue along with fellow models Olivia Dunne, Penny Lane, Nina Cash, Brittney Nicole, Lorena Durán, Katie Austin, Christen Harper and Camille Kostek. 

Gutierrez, an entrepreneur, sound guide, mother and wife, has been modeling since the age of 12 and has collaborated with notable brands such as Ralph Lauren, Reebok and Rimmel London. This is her first appearance in the SI Swimsuit Issue, a feature she earned as co-winner of the 2023 Swim Search. 

Porto and the North, Portugal, is a coastal European country that offers unlimited lush, natural beauty, from the vast Atlantic Ocean coastline to prominent mountains and rushing rivers. The area is home to the Douro wine region, known for its sprawling vineyards and breathtaking bodies of water, including both the Douro and Tedo Rivers. With so much history, local culture and beauty, the region was a natural choice for the 2024 SI Swimsuit Issue.

The styling on set in Porto was aptly inspired by fishing on the riviera, and the SI Swimsuit team embraced chunky knits, windbreakers and rain boots for an authentic feel. While on set, Gutierrez donned textured, ready-to-wear pieces influenced by the likes of vintage J.Crew that also incorporated trendy elements, including elevated fishnet.
