Hailey Van Lith: 2025 Fort Worth Big 12

SI Swimsuit

Hailey Van Lith was photographed by Taylor Ballantyne in Fort Worth for the 2025 SI Swimsuit Issue, alongside Big 12 athletes Rayniah Jones and Phoenix Dawn Miranda.

The WNBA rookie has had an incredible past year. After winning a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics in 3x3 basketball, she set single-season school records for points scored (663) and assists (202) at TCU and was named the 2024-25 Big 12 Player of the Year. At the 2025 WNBA draft, she was selected as the No. 11 pick by the Chicago Sky, where she reunites with former LSU teammate—and fellow SI Swimsuit model—Angel Reese.

Van Lith served as SI Swimsuit’s April 2025 digital cover star and appears in the 2025 magazine.

Fort Worth is not only the place Van Lith called home during her college days at TCU, but it’s also a great location full of history and culture. Embracing hometown pride and years-long traditions, the sunny and warm city is constantly evolving at the same time. There’s always something to do in Fort Worth—including the world’s largest honky-tonk, Billy Bob’s Texas.

The styling for Van Lith’s photo shoot embraced a feminine and lively aesthetic, incorporating florals, prints and soft—yet bright—hues.
