Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Sports Illustrated has turned its swimsuit edition to advocacy for women who have given birth via Cesarian section.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” star and model Carmen Carrera accused the fashion industry of “tokeniz[ing]” transgenders by only featuring a few of them, and claimed that magazine consumers need to start seeing more models that they “don’t want to look at.”

Tennis star Naomi Osaka has once again posed for the cover of a major magazine, this time the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Lenya Bloom, a biological man who identifies as a woman, has become the first openly trans cover model in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue history.

Sports Illustrated’s 2020 Swimsuit issue features someone who is being called the “curviest model ever,” plus-sized model Hunter McGrady.

Sports Illustrated has introduced its next slate of finalist models for its upcoming swimsuit issue, and a plus-sized model, a 56-year-old model, and a bald fitness trainer will be among them.

For the first time, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has featured a model in full burkini and hijab.
