Sports Illustrated has officially turned a new page, not only releasing a trio of covers for its 2016 Swimsuit issue, but highlighting three beautiful women of varying body types.
Ashley Graham, Ronda Rousey, and Hailey Clauson each have their own individual — and completely gorgeous — cover.
“The three covers of Hailey, Ronda and Ashley celebrate the new SI Swimsuit,” the magazine’s assistant managing editor, MJ Day, said.
“All three women are beautiful, sexy, and strong. Beauty is not cookie
cutter. Beauty is not ‘one size fits all.’ Beauty is all around us and
that became especially obvious to me while shooting and editing this
year’s issue.”
MMA
star Rousey’s appearance in the magazine was expected; an image from
her photo shoot was leaked in January and gained quite a bit of buzz.
After all, the 29-year-old was wearing nothing but body paint made to
look like a one-piece swimsuit. view her naked-body-painted swimsuit.
“She’s a Phoenix, as fiery and beautiful as any mythical creature ever depicted,” Day said of Rousey.
At the top, Clauson, 20, knows a little something about that; the high-fashion model
appeared in the 2015 issue wearing a teeny red, white, and blue
painted-on bikini. Day described her as “the definition of a modern
bombshell.”
Graham above,
28, is also featured in an ad campaign in the magazine revealed earlier
this month. The plus-size model (who prefers to be called “curvy
sexalicious”) is a rookie this year.
“Ashley
commands your attention in her photographs,” Day explained. “She owns
her sexiness in a way that every woman should. Her confidence is
contagious.”
