Kate Upton is red hot on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 2024 issue.
The model joins Gayle King, as well as Chrissy Teigen and Hunter McGrady as the magazine’s newest cover models.
Sports Illustrated, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, is launching seven covers, which will hit newsstands on May 17.
“It’s such a huge honor,” Upton told People magazine ahead of the announcement. “It really speaks to really where fashion is going and the message that [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s editor-in-chief] MJ Day wants to put out — women supporting women, showing different body types and having women speak for different things they believe in.”
“Every year I feel more and more confident in who I am and what I bring to the table,” McGrady told Fox News Digital ahead of the cover unveiling. “And when I first shot for Sports Illustrated in 2016, I was so young. I had no idea of the opportunities it was going to bring me and the platform it was going to give. And I’ve grown as a person ever since then.”
“There’s Kate Upton, whose first cover served as a catalyst for the evolution of the brand. There’s Chrissy Teigen, who represents the new generation of model moguls. There’s Hunter McGrady, whose power and advocacy continue to inspire. And there’s Gayle King, a first-timer who, like her co-cover models, not so gently reminds us that women are limitless and control their destinies. For the three remaining covers, we assembled some of our most influential alumni together for one legendary photo shoot representing where we are right now — and a hope for the future.”
