It is that time of year when millions of fans all over the world are expecting the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. We still don`t know who will be the lucky cover girl but we have information about gorgeous models who appear in this year`s issue.
So far the official Sports Illustrated Swimsuit page has confirmed the following models Lily Aldridge, Nina Agdal, Irina Shayk, Emily Didonato, Erin Heatherton, Hannah Ferguson, Chanel Iman, Hannah Davis, Gigi Hadid, Kate Bock, Samantha Hoopes, Rose Bertram, Chrissy Teigen, Hailey Clauson, Barbara Palvin , Sofia Resing, Tanya Mityushina, Ashley Graham and Bo Krsmanovic.
The models were shot by various photographers – Ruven Afanaodor, Yu Tsai, Ben Watts, James Macari and Jack Guy, in the beautiful locations of Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, Grenada, Hawaii, Malta and Bora Bora.
Also according to the media reports, a 56-years-old model Nicola Griffin will also show off her curves in golden swimsuit. She will be the oldest women to appear in Sports Illustrated pages since its debut back in 1964. “People think you lose your sex appeal as you get older—but that’s a myth,” Griffin said in a statement. “I’ve never felt sexier.”
Griffin will appear on a three-page ad buy from Swimsuits for All , the Web merchant that specializes in sizes 10-34 and bills itself as “the leader in swimwear for curvy women.” The brand’s other two ad pages will feature supermodel Ashley Graham and British Ghanaian model Philomena Kwao.
Until the new SI cover is reveled on Saturday 13th February, let`s enjoy some of the already revealed images…
Hungarian beauty Barbara Palvin is making her debut this year on the pages of

American model Ashley Graham (IMG) has made the history by becoming the one of the first plus-size models, alongside Robyn Lawley to be featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. The 29-year-old recently said thanks “to everyone who stood up for curves”.
