Williams first posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue in 1990 and returned to the fold each year through ’94, and once again in 2004. Discovered by Yves Saint Laurent in 1987, Williams went on to land covers of notable publications like Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan and Harper’s Bazaar. The model, actress, author and fashion expert returns to the SI Swimsuit Issue’s 60th anniversary legends magazine for her sixth year with the publication. 

Exemplifying what it means to “Be Legendary,” Williams took part in a photo shoot with other brand icons at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. There, celebrity stylist Molly Dickson was on hand to dress the models in stunning couture looks from head to toe. Williams opted for a spectacular dress by Retrofête, shoes by Aquazurra and accessories by Charlie Lapson.
