Here’s a selection of this year’s featured models making a splash before the issue drops July 22. “For years we’ve been working tirelessly to move the needle and change the conversation around beauty and acceptance,” said Day. The “incredible women featured in the issue represent some of the most powerful voices of today.” In total, 25 models and 13 finalists from the brand’s nationwide amateur model search will get their glossy glory as a part of what Day deems a “powerful group of extraordinary, multi-dimensional women.” SI Swimsuit model had ‘no clue’ she was pregnant during shoot “It was not easy and we approached the situation very seriously,” Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s longtime editor MJ Day told The Post of producing the issue during the pandemic, adding that photography teams quarantined and followed CDC guidelines. “We took every necessary precaution to keep everyone safe.” So, all of this year’s sexy shoots took place stateside at Hard Rock Hotel locations in California, Florida and Atlantic City. While past issues have featured bikini babes posing in exotic locales from Switzerland to China - Kate Upton even once posed among penguins in Antarctica - the 2020 pandemic curtailed international travel. This year’s three cover stars are tennis great Naomi Osaka, Megan Thee Stallion (the first rapper to appear on the cover of the issue) and Leyna Bloom, the first trans woman to appear in the issue and on the cover. The 2021 issue - on newsstands Thursday - showcases SI’s most diverse group of women to date, which includes a slew of plus-size catwalkers and a 57-year-old stunner. Since 1964, the mag has been putting out steamy photos of the boldest bombshells on the planet. We’re midway through a scorching summer and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is back to quench our thirst.

"Our investment in Frankies Bikinis is a continuation of our efforts to expand partnerships with culturally relevant brands founded by women entrepreneurs," Victoria's Secret CEO Martin Waters said in a statement. With the investment into Frankies Bikinis, the retailer is not only augmenting its swimwear offer, but also furthering its recent shift to messages of women's empowerment. Victoria's Secret fumbled when it decided to exit the swimwear category, and ended up returning to the segment, first only online and then also in stores.
