The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is often placed in the same category as the Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows. Outdated presentations of the "perfect" or "ideal" female form. While the fashion shows have faded into oblivion, Sports Illustrated has opted to embrace change by shifting its focus to feature women off all shapes and sizes. Back in 2016, Ashley Graham became the first plus-size model to earn a solo cover.
Now the publication is marking its 60th year by bestowing covers on four dynamic women: Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady, Kate Upton and Gayle King. The magazine didn't stop there, though. (It's its anniversary, after all.) Three additional covers starring legendary alumni like Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Christie Brinkley, Maye Musk and Halima Aden, to name just a few, are also available.
