Ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of year again.The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has hit newsstands and as always, it does not disappoint.
This year, in the magazine’s 50th anniversary swimsuit edition, not one–but three models grace the highly sought after cover photo, with Chrissy Teigen, Lily Aldridge, and Nina Agdal taking the spotlight with a stunning photo set in the Cook Islands.
Throughout the issue, familiar faces such as the iconic Kate Upton can be seen (including an impressive zero gravity set), as well a collaboration of legends ranging from Tyra Banks to Christie Brinkley.
An inordinate amount of this year’s hype, though, has been the emergence of rookie SI model Emily Ratajkowski. Emily exploded on to the scene this past year with her topless appearance in Robin Thicke’s music video for the song “Blurred Lines” and has not slowed down since. After recently being regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, Ratajkowski has landed a high-profile photo shoot with GQ as well as sought after acting roles.
