A while ago, I
declared that I had only seen two SI photos in which the model is wearing a bikini top but not a bottom. I think I may have been mistaken.
I happened across this photo of Ana Paula Araujo from 2007.

After much careful consideration, I have determined that she is not wearing a bottom.
I was very scientific about it. To keep the variables as controlled as possible, I took the bottom from another photo of Ana:

…and tried to position it in such a way that it would be hidden by the guitar. (It will help to imagine the guitar as translucent.)

As you can see, in all likelihood she is
not wearing a bikini bottom. If she were, portions of it would be visible on her hips.

(It’s a good thing it’s not a translucent guitar.)
