Alix Earle used some tiny bikinis to make a big announcement Monday ... showing off her smokin' hot bod in some barely there bathing suits to reveal she's making a return to Sports Illustrated Swim.
Earle and S.I. Swim officials took to their Instagram pages to let the world know she's coming back to the mag for Round 2 in 2025 ... and based on some of the preview shots they shared, there's certainly going to be a whole lot of people happy she made the decision.
In their first post breaking the news -- Earle can be seen taking off a robe on a dock in Jamaica to display her fit physique in a teeny two-piece.
