The 16 Dazzling SI Swimsuit Photos We’ll Still Be Thinking About in 2025

This year, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit marked a milestone like no other—its 60th anniversary—a testament to six decades of redefining beauty, pushing boundaries and shaping cultural conversations. The 2024 issue was a celebration in every sense of the word, featuring a super special reunion of 27 brand “legends” as well as the debut of digital cover issues. From Chrissy Teigen and Gayle King to Hunter McGrady and Kate Upton, the four 2024 solo cover stars encapsulated the diversity, strength and inclusivity that define SI Swimsuit today.

In addition, we introduced three group covers: “a triptych that speaks to the collective strength, power, beauty and diversity” of what the magazine looks like at 60. The Legends photo shoot offered a look back at SI Swimsuit’s storied history, while also serving as a window into the present and a hope for the future.

Legends like Tyra Banks, Christie Brinkley and Paulina Porizkova joined forces with trailblazers such as Leyna Bloom, Halima Aden, and Brenna Huckaby for an unforgettable shoot in Florida, celebrating not just beauty but entrepreneurship, activism and resilience.

“A 60th anniversary is a big deal. It might not be recognized as lavishly as the number that 50 is, but we felt we should wholeheartedly celebrate 60, too, for a simple reason: because the journey we’ve been on for the past 10 years is something we humbly consider to be revolutionary,” said editor in chief MJ Day. “We have shattered stereotypes. We have embraced diversity. We have championed inclusivity. With each passing year, we have challenged ourselves to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.”

And 2025 is already shaping up to be another extraordinary year. With the introduction of an epic class of 10 trailblazing female athletes, photographed in Boca Raton, Fla., SI Swimsuit continues to chart a path that’s bold, inclusive and inspiring.

Here are the dazzling images and moments from this banner year that we’ll still be talking about in 2025.
