Lori Harvey welcomed her 29th birthday the way only she can — with sun, water, and a flawless display of confidence. Instead of leaning into winter vibes, the model and businesswoman marked the occasion by sharing a series of bikini looks pulled from her most memorable beach and poolside escapes.
The photos were posted just ahead of her birthday on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, as Harvey said goodbye to 28 in full summer mode. In the opening shots, she appeared relaxed and playful, wearing a white graphic T-shirt knotted into a crop top while sipping from a fresh coconut. Beneath it, pastel blue patterned bikini bottoms peeked through, setting the tone for the carousel.
As the post progressed, the looks became bolder. One standout image showed Harvey posing in a cocoa-toned triangle string bikini, styled with gold body jewelry that reflected the sunlight and emphasized her sculpted figure. She captioned the entire set with two simple words that summed up the mood: “Sweet and salty.”
Fans were especially taken with another outfit featured in the carousel — a red-and-white knit two-piece. The halter-style top was paired with matching bottoms cut like cheeky shorts, finished with crisp white piping. The look balanced sporty and sensual, quickly becoming a favorite among her followers.
Harvey didn’t stop there. She also shared a short video of herself lounging on a boat in the knit set, effortlessly posing as the water moved behind her. The response was so strong that less than a day later, she reposted the outfit in a second carousel, striking a series of confident poses that showcased the poise she’s known for as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model.
Harvey previously worked with Yu Tsai on her Sports Illustrated shoot in Mexico in 2024, and the experience clearly shows in her comfort in front of the camera.
Outside of fashion, Harvey has spoken about the routines that keep her grounded. In an interview with E! News, she described her skincare ritual as daily “me-time,” something she genuinely looks forward to. She even revealed that she keeps certain products in the refrigerator, including eye masks and eye cream, for an energizing start to the day.
Since launching her skincare brand SKN by LH in 2021, Harvey has also reflected on personal growth and learning through trial and error. “Patience is a virtue,” she once said, explaining that she’s focused on allowing herself space to grow and evolve — a mindset that seems to suit her just fine as she enters a new year.
