Summer of Swim: Celebrate the 4th of July with cover model Hannah Davis

Kelsey Hendrix | Jun 25, 2015

America turns 239 years old this week, and we're inviting you to celebrate with one of our country's greatest gifts—Hannah Davis. 

Our 2015 SI Swimsuit cover girl is back in a bikini and this time she's showing off her patriotism like you've never seen it before.

Sporting a variety of red, white and blue swimsuits, Hannah is the epitome of American beauty at its finest. You may have seen Hannah in the news recently—or really everywhere, for that matter—with her comical DirecTV commercials still floating around, her unforgettable red-carpet debut with boyfriend and former MLB star Derek Jeter at the MET Ball, and her win as Spike TV's "Our New Girlfriend," which secured her place as America's favorite babe for at least the next year. And did we mention Hannah was also just named co-host of the new show Project Runway Juniors, alongside series regular Tim Gunn? 

Hannah stars in our second Summer of Swim installment this season, following our insanely popular first-ever, off-season photo shoot with blonde beauty Hannah Ferguson. You may recall our resident Texan has been out to prove her state is the best, and was recently featured on the cover of Galore as the ultimate summer bombshell. 

Just in time for the 4th of July, Summer of Swim featuring Hannah Davis was shot by photographer Justin Marquis at the Gansevoort Park Avenue, situated in the heart of Manhattan. The hotel serves as the company's second NYC location and offers "downtown edge with an uptown sensibility," 249 luxury rooms, a plethora of upscale bars, and a signature rooftop pool overlooking the Empire State Building—ideal for our seasonal shoot.  

So go on and start your holiday weekend celebration a few days early, as Hannah Davis stars in SI's Summer of Swim!
