Sports Illustrated ageless model Kathy Jacobs 

She admitted she wore very little makeup for the photos and had not worked out in a while. She demonstrated her expertise in connecting with the camera, a skill honed through her years as a professional mannequin in the ’80s.

Since her debut as part of the Sports Illustrated in 2020, she has been busy with campaigns for Thirdlove undergarments, where she worked alongside her daughter Abigail, and campaigns for Beauty Blender and Soji.

Kathy also appeared in the Miley Cyrus music video for “Mother’s Daughter.”

Kathy shared in an interview, that she had tried and failed as a petite model for over three decades before finally seeing her dream come true.

In the new snaps, Kathy modeled a tiny black bikini. She raised her hands above her head, showed off her gold and silver locks which were cut into a long bob, and displayed her lean legs which looked even sexier in black high heels. Kathy’s trim waist was on show as she modeled a low-cut string bottom which she tugged on in one of the snaps.

In the last photograph, the stunner wore a black tank top with thin straps, showing off her toned shoulders.

Kathy Jacobs age 56 is going to be featured in Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue

Kathy Jacobs made it her mission to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s iconic swimsuit issue after learning the publication was searching far and wide for some fresh faces to usher in a new generation of top talent.

Jacobs a 56-year-old mother, actress, entrepreneur and body-positive activist hailing from Calabasas, Calif. had been putting herself into the mix for two years before she was selected as a Top 6 finalist for the SI Swimsuit cover and was selected to walk the runway during the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show during Miami Swim Week.

Jacobs has already surpassed last year’s finish when she didn’t even crack the second round, so this year Jacobs is putting forth her best poses, and even though she’s guaranteed to make it into the magazine, she wants to represent all of the middle-aged women and let everyone know their time is far from over.

Jacobs recently spoke to Fox News where she opened up in a huge way about being a face for women over 50 and how she managed to find her purpose in life. “It just happens to be, I set my mind to posing in a bikini for Sports Illustrated,” she said.

Kathy Jacobs says Do everything or nothing to yourself to feel great about yourself and do not apologize for having or not having something done

The search is on for the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue models, and one in particular is using it as an opportunity to take on ageism in the modeling industry. Kathy Jacobs is a 55-year-old model who has been working as a model for around three decades. In addition to her recent work posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Jacobs has worked with brands such as Thirdlove, Beauty Blender, Soiji, and also appeared in a Miley Cyrus music video.

"I was a petite model in the 80s for FORD Models–I was fighting for inclusiveness in the modeling industry over 30 years ago," she told Sports Illustrated in an interview. "I recently contacted my old agent, who is now with Icon Focus (models over 40), and she said clients only want tall models. So the modeling industry is now becoming more inclusive for older models...but only if they are tall."

As for why she wanted to be part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model search, Jacobs said, “ I am going to use my powers for good. I do not take the responsibility of this position lightly. I genuinely appreciate the platform, power, and presence that I have been given by SI! I am doing this to be part of a change in the views on women over 50, not only by society, but by ourselves."

"It is a boomerang effect, and we as women over 50 need to stand together and realize how amazing, relevant, beautiful and sexy we all are," she added. "It's time women of all ages unite and claim our power! Ageism impacts all of us, and women of all ages coming together and stopping it now helps prevent future generations from ever experiencing it!”

She later commented on the idea that her being a 55-year-old swimsuit model is considered unusual by saying, "It's kinda funny to me that doing what I am doing at 55 is so out of the norm. I feel so young inside and I bet a lot of women can relate to me on that level. Now I am just hoping to be the oldest member of the Final 6 in SI Swim Search history."
