We’ve said it again and again: this past week was a legendary one for SI Swimsuit. For one, the brand kicked off its 60th anniversary celebration in Hollywood, Fla., but more importantly, it welcomed back some of the incredible faces that have made the magazine so memorable over the years.

The talent that gathered at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino were indeed brand legends. It was an honor to bring these incredible women together, honoring their legacy and role in the SI Swimsuit family.

Here are some of the incredible faces—and moments—that made this week such a successful one.

Maye Musk and Martha Stewart

This was a power duo we didn’t know we were missing until it was right there in front of us. Musk and Stewart, two powerhouse women, teamed up on the set of this year’s 60th anniversary photo shoot—and they made for one incredible pair.

Tyra Banks

We can’t think of Banks without thinking of her incredible 1997 cover, an eye-catching photo with which she made history as the first Black woman to grace the cover of the publication alone. It seems—from the looks of this clip—she hasn’t stopped thinking about it, either.

Christie Brinkley

Brinkley brought the bubbles and her bubbly personality, too. Her Bellissima prosecco brand was one of the incredible—and refreshing—sponsors of the event. Cheers, Christie!

Leyna Bloom

A return to the set of SI Swimsuit brought a lot of reflection for Bloom. Her 2021 cover moment was (and continues to be) an important part of her identity—and the SI Swimsuit brand’s, too.

Hunter McGrady

Want a taste of the SI Swimsuit experience? Look no further than McGrady’s touching recap from the week. As you can probably tell, it was legendary having her back on set.

Brenna Huckaby

It’s hard to believe that Huckaby could constantly find new ways to inspire, but somehow she does. The Paralympian shared an important message about body image and self-love ahead of her return to the SI Swimsuit set.

Molly Sims

Sims may have been surprised to find herself back on the set of an SI Swimsuit photo shoot after nearly two decades away, but the legends celebration simply wouldn’t have been complete without her. 

Jasmine Sanders

Wow. We don’t have much more to say than that. This photo speaks to the legendary path that all of these models have paved over the years—and five-time brand model Sanders is vital part of that.
