Fans Can’t Get Enough of Lizzo’s July 2026 SI Swimsuit Digital Cover Feature

Lizzo is officially a member of the SI Swimsuit family!
The four-time Grammy Award winner first joined the magazine for the 2026 SI Swimsuit Runway Show at Swim Week in Miami, where she performed multiple songs from her new album B---- on the star-studded catwalk. From there, the Yitty founder reunited with the brand for a stunning shoot on the shores of the Sunshine State, posing for photographer Robin Harper’s camera at a private mansion and on a yacht provided by Residence Yacht Club.
“The shoot was in this fabulous old Spanish-style house in Miami that looked like a museum, but it was attached to a dock. Then we went on a yacht and spent the evening cruising around and seeing the Miami skyline and city lights. It was dreamy, honestly. It was like a perfect day,” the star told SI Swimsuit of her debut feature. She also wore several looks from her own brand on the set, saying of her wardrobe, “I wore a gold, glittery one-piece that’s really, really cute. I also wore a twisted-top two-piece—I wore a bunch of Yitty pieces. I wore some cute string bikinis from other brands, too.”
