Introducing the 2024 edition of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit! This year, we're excited to unveil four unique covers featuring Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady, Kate Upton, and Gayle King, all in celebration of the iconic swimsuit franchise's 60th anniversary.
Additionally, we're showcasing a special trilogy of covers from our 60th Anniversary Legends shoot, capturing these renowned names and more.
"Reaching our 60th anniversary is a significant milestone. While it may not have the same fanfare as the 50th, we believe it's crucial to honor and celebrate 60 years of groundbreaking achievements," shares MJ Day, Editor-in-Chief of SI Swimsuit. "Over the past decade, we've made tremendous strides, breaking stereotypes, promoting diversity, and advocating for inclusivity. Each year, we've challenged ourselves to push boundaries and redefine the essence of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit."
