To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Sports Illustrated released a special cover featuring multiple legends. The launch party in New York City saw models like Lily Aldridge and Molly Sims express their excitement and honor at being part of a celebration of womanhood and empowerment.
In addition to solo covers, the magazine also released three collectible covers featuring the SI legends, including Roshumba Williams, who has worked with Sports Illustrated since 1989. She expressed her shock and gratitude at finally being featured on a cover after appearing in the magazine multiple times.
The magazine’s editor-in-chief, MJ Day, was praised by many for recognizing and showcasing beauty in all its forms. Diversity and inclusion were highlighted throughout the issue, with Tyra Banks commending MJ for her groundbreaking work in promoting diversity in the industry. Hunter McGrady also commended MJ for her commitment to showcasing a wide range of voices and experiences within the magazine.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is now available for readers to enjoy online at the Sports Illustrated website.
