Hilary Duff

An actor, singer, songwriter and New York Times best-selling author, Hilary Duff is an award-winning, multiplatinum global icon. In 2026, she added “SI Swimsuit cover star” to her list of accolades, joining the magazine for the first time in South Caicos, where she posed for photographer Kat Irlin.

Known by millennials for her breakout role on Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire, the actor went on to star in multiple early-2000s classics like Agent Cody Banks, A Cinderella Story, The Lizzie McGuire Movie and Cadet Kelly. In more recent years, she’s appeared on hit TV shows like How I Met Your Father and Younger, the latter of which ran for seven seasons.

Her talents have also brought her to music, with her 2003 debut album Metamorphosis earning a 4× Platinum certification. And this year, she made her return to the airwaves, signing with Atlantic Records and releasing her first new album in over a decade with luck… or something, which dropped in February 2026. She also announced an accompanying tour for the album, marking her first in over 18 years with dates across seven countries, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
