Danielle Herrington Returns for SI Swimsuit 2019 After an Epic Cover Year

Last year's cover model Danielle Herrington is back for her third year with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit!

Welcome back, Danielle Herrington! 

Everyone's favorite Compton cutie is back for her third year with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, and let us just say...she's never looked better! 

Danielle is shooting for this year's issue in beautiful Costa Rica with photographer James Macari. The brunette beauty has previously shot for SI Swimsuit in Fiji and The Bahamas, with Yu Tsai and Ben Watts respectively, so we're very much looking forward to seeing the magic happen between this new duo!

DANIELLE: Fishnets? At the Beach? Danielle Herrington Is Living Proof It Can be Done

In case you didn't know, Danielle is a Tyra Banks-adoring, clarinet-playing, dog-lover who adores Kobe Bryant and a good bowl of turkey chili. Sound like the woman of your dreams? We thought she might! Oh yeah, she also landed the cover of SI Swimsuit 2018 and spent the year replaying her cover reveal moment with her icon over and over in her head! 

"My cover year has been my best year yet!", Danielle reflected upon finding out she would return for a third year with SI Swimsuit. "Not only did it open so many doors for me, it has helped me grow as a person and into a business woman. I’m so excited to be back for a third year! I'm still just as excited as I was for my first shoot. Can’t wait to put on a teeny bikini and own it for the third time!"
