Cameron Brink is making her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut!

The 22-year-old WNBA star has been announced as the latest new face joining the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2025 issue.

Brink’s photo from her stunning SI Swimsuit shoot was shared on Instagram on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The image, shot by Ben Horton in Boca Raton, Fla., shows Brink posing in a white string bikini while showing off her abs, standing by the ocean with the sunlight beaming on her.

“Known for her undeniable skill and towering presence on the court, the 22-year-old brings her fierce energy to her SI Swimsuit debut,” SI Swimsuit wrote in the caption. Brink replied to the photo, writing, "Dream come true."

“From her impressive college career at Stanford to her rookie year in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks, Brink is not only dominating the court but also redefining the intersection of fashion and sports with her sleek, standout pre-game tunnel looks.”

Brink joins a host of powerful female athletes for the SI Swimsuit 2025 issue, which comes out in May, including Jordan Chiles, Caroline Marks, Ali Truwit, Gabby Thomas, Eileen Gu, Suni Lee and Nelly Korda.

“We are thrilled to launch our shoot season for the 2025 issue with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes,” MJ Day, SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief shared of the Boca Raton shoot in a statement. “This remarkable group, featuring Olympic medalists, world champions, and record holders, embodies the next generation of all-stars poised to transform the world of sports. They defy stereotypes and champion equality, inspiring young girls to envision themselves as both athletes and leaders. At SI Swimsuit, we’ve always celebrated the future of women, and there’s no better way to honor these remarkable achievements than by featuring them on the pages of our issue.”

Brink made her professional basketball debut after being selected No. 2 overall to the Los Angeles Sparks during the 2024 WNBA Draft following her graduation the same year.

In March, the New Jersey native was named the 2024 Pac-12 Player of the Year and won her third Defensive Player of the Year award, becoming only the second player ever to do so three times.

Aside from basketball, Brink is passionate about mental health. She supports the basketball community off the court with Next22, an annual basketball camp she founded for young girls, per SI Swimsuit.

Nelly Korda stuns as you’ve never seen her before, in SI Swimsuit debut

From the fairways to the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

LPGA Tour star Nelly Korda will make her highly anticipated debut in the 2025 edition of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, the iconic publication announced this week, with the world’s top-ranked female golfer posing in sultry swimwear in newly released photos from the Boca Raton, Fla., shoot.

Korda, 26, who hails from the Sunshine State, modeled a white bikini from Vitamin A in one shot and sported a cutout black one-piece by LaQuan Smith in another.

When the 14-time LPGA Tour winner and Olympic gold medalist makes her first appearance in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit next spring, she’ll be in good company as fellow Olympians Suni Lee, Gabby Thomas and Eileen Gu are also joining the ranks.

“We are thrilled to launch our shoot season for the 2025 issue with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes,” Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day said in a statement Thursday.

“This remarkable group, featuring Olympic medalists, world champions, and record-holders, embodies the next generation of all-stars poised to transform the world of sports. They defy stereotypes and champion equality, inspiring young girls to envision themselves as both athletes and leaders. At SI Swimsuit, we’ve always celebrated the future of women, and there’s no better way to honor these remarkable achievements than by featuring them on the pages of our issue.”

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit revelation comes on the heels of an exciting few months for Lee, 21, and Thomas, 27, who competed at the 2024 Olympics in Paris this past summer.

Lee, a six-time Olympic medalist gymnast, won gold in the team all-around event and secured bronze in the individual all-around and the uneven bars final.

Two-time Olympian Thomas sprinted to three gold medals in Paris in the 200m, 4x100m and 4x400m.

Rounding out the Olympians is freestyle skier Gu, who, at the age of 18 became the youngest Olympic gold medalist in the discipline. The now-21-year-old won gold in the big air and halfpipe events at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

The 2025 edition of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit drops in May.

Olympian Gabby Thomas will make her SI swimsuit debut

Today is the day. Gabby Thomas is officially joining the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family for the 2025 magazine, and today, the Olympic track star is on the ground in Boca Raton, Fla., posing for her debut feature.

It’s a momentous way to close out what has been an incredible year for the professional runner. At the Paris Olympics this past summer, the sprinter took home three gold medals in the 200m sprint, 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay. It was only the latest display of her impressive athletic ability, which likewise carried her to two podiums at the Tokyo games.

But her achievements don’t end at the edge of the track. The 27-year-old attended Harvard University, where she earned an undergraduate degree in neurobiology. But she didn’t stop there. She later graduated from the University of Texas with a Master of Public Health in epidemiology. Ever the inspiration, Thomas has dedicated herself to bettering public health access in historically underserved communities.

Her combination of athletic prowess and academic achievement makes her a shoo-in for the annual issue. At SI Swimsuit, we are always looking to showcase difference-makers on the pages of the magazine—and Thomas is nothing if not a difference-maker. We updated this post live as Thomas shares teased of her photo shoot day.

This afternoon, the SI Swimsuit Instagram account teased a snippet from her debut brand photo shoot, which featured Thomas in a classic orange one-piece swimsuit. She posed on a wooden walkway heading down to the beach and smiled for the camera.

In the afternoon, the Olympian took to the SI Swimsuit Instagram to share her excitement ahead of the photo shoot. According to Thomas, she had just picked out her swimwear looks and was patiently awaiting her moment to pose for the camera. “Can’t wait!” she expressed at the end of the story.

A little bit later, she returned to share an update on her experience. In the midst of posing—and during outfit number three—the rain put the experience on hold. As Thomas put it, “Just Florida weather—you never know.”

In between shots, Thomas enjoyed her “second coffee of the day,” giving her just enough energy to pose expertly for photographer Ben Horton.

Thomas didn’t take to Florida empty-handed—she showed up on set with her hardware in hand. During her photo shoot, the track star showed off her three Paris Olympic gold medals in a comical video.

And the videos didn’t stop there. Thomas also showed off her “essentials” in the post above, wearing a black robe. “Gabby your energy is so contagious, please never lose it ?,” one fan commented on the Instagram post, while SI Swimsuit model Jena Sims added: “And so much more ?.”

And for the last share of the day, Thomas posted to our Instagram story alongside fellow SI Swimsuit athlete Eileen Gu, who also posed for her debut today. The pair announced they’d be signing off, signaling the end of the shoot day.

Victoria Fuller shows off her amazing figure

Victoria Fuller shared a stunning new set of photos from a trip she took to Tulum on Instagram. She wore a black bathing suit, showing off her figure.

Fuller spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go on walks. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking in Sedona. She captioned the post, "It's Sedona 4 me." Fuller also shared these photos of herself walking with her dog in Nashville. She captioned that post, "Home. And I'm never leaving. Missed y'all."

Fuller is an avid golfer. She recently picked up the sport, and shared posts from the course on her Instagram. She posted this set of videos of herself making shots, captioning it, "Swipe for #puttstuff (+ my best shot of the day)." Fuller also posted these photos of herself on the course. She captioned the post, "Talk birdie to me."

Fuller makes sure to workout her lower body. She shared some of her favorite leg exercises in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, "Wanted to share with y'all some of my favorite booty workouts. Goblet squats 4 x 15 (I put plates under the front of my feet to distribute more weight on the backs of my heels to allow for a deeper burn). Hip thrusts 3 x 15. Front squat 4 x 15. Battle ropes 4x 25sec rounds. Finisher: walking lunges (weighted or not weighted)."

Fuller loves to spend time in the water. She shares a lot of beach and pool photos on Instagram. Fuller posted this black and white photo of herself swimming in Alys Beach. She captioned it, "I'm sorry I roasted you, I was trying to flirt." In the first two photos of this photo series she posted of summer 2021, Fuller is seen wading in the ocean.

At the beginning of last year, Fuller submitted herself as a rookie for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Fuller explained her reasons why in the caption of this Instagram post. "It's been a dream of mine to enter into @si_swimsuit search, but had always made excuses as to why I wasn't good enough," she writes. "But I am enough, and thank you SI for helping me get to this place of acceptance within myself. So here goes nothing…Growing up, it was just me and mom until my step dad adopted me at a young age.

I am a melting pot of Japanese white and black and everyone in my family is all blonde hair and blue eyed so I always felt different. My idea of beauty was not me. It was what was in my immediate vicinity. I never truly felt beautiful. I remember seeing women in Sports Illustrated as I got older and they were all so beautiful and unique in their own ways. Being beautiful and sexy can be any color and any size.

And it's not just an outward appearance these women represent strength, acceptance, and even more so changed the way I viewed beauty. I relate to the women in this magazine in a BIG way and they will never know the acceptance I felt by just knowing there's others out there just like me!"

Jena Sims showcases her flawless body in a bikini

Jena Sims, a successful model and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie for 2024, is gearing up for a major photoshoot by focusing on her fitness. Recently, she shared some behind-the-scenes moments on her Instagram story, where she was seen working out with fellow model Sixtine Royer and fitness expert Denise Austin. Dressed in black workout gear, Sims appeared focused and motivated. Her training routine is part of her preparation to maintain her stunning physique, and she's using a variety of exercises to ensure she's at her best for the shoot. Sims proves that even at the top of her game, she's still putting in the work to stay fit and confident.

As you can see from her Instagram story, Sims is seen working with a trainer. ACE Fitness states that personal training has a lot of health benefits. "Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them."

Sims shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is hip thrusts. Sims captioned the post, "Let's build-a-booty ?? in the gym ??" Gymless states that hip thrusts are very effective. "Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine."

Sims is also seen doing lunges in the previous Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that lunges are very effective. "If you're doing front and back lunges, you'll primarily be working the gluteus maximus, adductors, and quadriceps. Side lunges will work the gluteus medius more. And if you're taking bigger steps forward and back, you'll use more of the glute muscles, while smaller steps will target the quadriceps more."

Sims also likes to do squats to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this Instagram video. Squats have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, "Squats target and strengthen your thighs, hips and butt. Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, really. It also generates power for upper-body movements and all kinds of other activities."

Sims opened up about being in the spotlight in an interview with The New York Post. She says that she has learned to ignore what people say about her. "I always tell myself, you can be the ripest, juiciest peach and there's always going to be someone who doesn't like peaches. There'll always be people who will be like, 'get a job,' or 'stop spending your husband's money' or 'wow it's a shame you don't have any of your own hobbies or talent.' "

Nikki Lund shares flashback bikini photos looking amazing

Nikki Lund shared several flashback photos to Instagram on Thursday.

The Foolish singer looked incredible in a fire engine red bikini in a shoot she did for DailyMail.com in 2023.

The singer, whose single Foolish was released on Apple Music, said in her caption that she was already missing the hot months of summer.

'What Kinda #bathingsuit #girl are you? Check out sketches and let me know,' the part Swedish/part Norwegian star began.

'I am excited to announce I recently signed to @img @ctkenterprises (The BEST licensing & management companies on the planet) and am working on new projects ❤️.

'What Kinda #bathingsuit #girl are you? Check out sketches and let me know,' the part Swedish/part Norwegian star began.

'I am excited to announce I recently signed to @img @ctkenterprises (The BEST licensing & management companies on the planet) and am working on new projects ❤️.

'As a #California native I I was basically born on the beach, #love these throw back pics from hidden hills last year & this particular bikini w/ the gold jewelry on the straps ~ u can download the remix of my song “U and I” on any streaming platform.'

She made the most of the little two piece swimsuit as she posed by a beautiful swimming pool in Los Angeles after losing 20lbs.

The Beverly Hills native, who grew up with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, looked to be in the best shape of her life as she showed off her sculpted arms and washboard abs as her blonde hair was worn down over her bare shoulders.

The siren struck her best Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model poses as she enjoyed a sunny day by the pool which had an attached infinity hot tub.

The beauty was nicely made up with pink lipstick and smoky eyes as she oozed glamour when in the breathtaking outdoor setting.

The star added a diamond encrusted gold plate around her neck and also sported a diamond belly piercing.

Her song Foolish came out on Tuesday for pre sale on Apple Music and will be officially release on Wednesday on all platforms.

The song was made with the Lund Band and produced by Nikki as well as her longtime partner Jeff Phillips, a music industry veteran. The song is available for pre order.

This comes after Nikki lost 20lbs when she went back to doing what she loves: yoga.

She had put some weight on when she welcomed her son Hendrix in 2018 but didn't get serious about getting back her pre baby body until 2022.

And now the singer has finally gotten to the weight she loves.

'I am finally back to a size two and it feels great!' the U & I singer, who used to date rock star Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi fame - told DailyMail.com exclusively.

Olivia Dunne wows in a bikini

Olivia Dunne and the LSU Tigers hit the south coast over the weekend before they knuckle down for the upcoming NCAA season.

Social media sensation Dunne returned to LSU last month to begin her fifth and final season with the Tigers after announcing earlier in the summer that she wasn't quite ready to quit the mat.

And upon her return, the 21-year-old has thrown herself back into the team's traditions.

The entire team - Dunne included - took a field trip down to Gulf Shores, Alabama where they enjoyed a weekend on the coast for 'Games Weekend.'

The gymnasts appeared to stay at a beautiful cabin on the shore with direct access on to the beach.

Dunne and her teammates shared several snaps to their Instagram stories as they soaked up the sun and the scenery.

The influencer wowed in a yellow gingham-patterned bikini as she posed alongside two of her teammates, Alexis Jeffrey and Haleigh Bryant.

She later gave fans a glimpse of the villa's incredible amenities as she lounged poolside with an iced coffee in her hand.

The team even took a trip to regional convenience store Buc-ee's before rustling up a team meal in the kitchen.

They also used the weekend to bond ahead of the NCAA gymnastic season, which begins for the Tigers in January.

The gymnasts made bracelets with Dunne spotted sporting two that read 'Geaux' and 'Love'.

The LSU Tigers won the 2024 national championship back in April, though Dunne didn't participate in the final meet.

Three months later, she told fans she wanted to pull on the purple and gold leotard for one final season.

It wasn't a shocking decision, considering the successful, whirlwind college career the New jersey native has enjoyed.

Since making her debut as a college athlete in 2020, Dunne has seen her fame skyrocket, as she now has 5.3million followers on Instagram and 8.1million on TikTok.

She's also become a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and scored deals with the likes of American Eagle and Motorola, with her NIL valuation estimated at a whopping $3.9million by On3.

Olympic rugby sensation Ilona Maher stuns in a bikini

Ilona Maher helped lead Team USA Rugby to its first bronze medal in the 2024 Olympics in Paris in rugby sevens. Now the 28-year-old athlete, who hails from Vermont, is showing off her beauty with the honor of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover for the September digital issue.

Maher is an absolute beast when she plays, which was on full display during the Olympics, where she became a breakout star. Her strength and speed is amazing to watch. Even Derrick Henry is impressed. She also was an inspiration with her teary-eyed postgame speeches and her self-deprecating sense of humor.

While Maher is a star on the field, she’s also now a social media sensation off of it, boasting 6.1 million followers (and counting) across Instagram and TikTok. Her personal motto and hashtag #beastbeautybrains is an empowering message to women, and was the fitting caption for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover: "BEAST. BEAUTY. BRAINS."

“Ilona Maher gracing the cover of our September digital issue is more than just a celebration of her athletic achievements—it's a powerful statement,” said MJ Day, editor in chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

“Ilona is a modern-day role model of strength, conviction and authenticity while at the same time displaying the indomitable spirit of an inspirational human. Her ability to break barriers, both on and off the field, resonates deeply with women everywhere. Ilona’s presence on our cover symbolizes a shift in the narrative—one that celebrates not only physical prowess but also the courage to lead, inspire and advocate for change. We couldn’t feel more excited and inspired by this revolutionary athlete and feminist trailblazer!”

Irina Shayk shows off her impressive figure

rina Shayk is an extremely successful model. She's best known for appearing in Sports Illustrated. Shayk recently shared a photo on her Instagram story. In it, she posed in black workout gear, showing off her impressive figure. Shayk captioned the post, "Gym with a view."

Shayk makes sure to work out regularly. She shared how she motivates herself to do so in an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. "I have good genes but of course you have to push yourself to go to the gym," she says. "My other problem is I love to eat, I love my food. I love hamburgers, I love chicken nuggets. If you decide that you want to eat all those crazy meals, you have to balance with working out, so you always have to motivate yourself. You cannot wake up and see yourself in the mirror and think 'I look great so I can just relax', you have to always push yourself to be better."

Shayk shared her diet secrets with Yahoo Lifestyle. She says that she believes in indulging once in a while. "Two times a week I have a cheat day. You have to remember that if you want to eat burgers, or chocolate or candy, you have to eat it for breakfast or at lunchtime, never in the evening. Probably twice a week I eat red meat and hamburgers. You have to balance between working out and eating."

Shayk shared some of the beverages she drinks, and the ones she avoids, with Yahoo Lifestyle. "You have to drink a lot of water and green tea. You have to remember that our bodies contain so much water and it's great for your skin. You have to eat a lot of greens, and fresh green juices. Also, you have to stay away from the coffee! I don't like it and I drink it like once a week maybe. Just drink a lot of water, it's good for your body."

Shayk revealed to Women's Health that she loves to do jiu-jitsu to stay in shape. "I hate traditional cardio. Running is my worst nightmare, so I've had to find something I enjoy that gets me all the calorie-burning benefits of cardio without boring me to death. Four months ago I started jiu-jitsu with my personal trainer and it's great. It's a Japanese self-defence discipline, but because there's so many possible move combinations, it's brilliant for constantly challenging my body and pushing it to exhaustion every time."

Shayk also told Women's Health that she loves to do barre exercises. "If I'm traveling, I try to work out in my hotel room or at work during breaks, focusing on simple barre moves that don't need any equipment and really work my arms and bum. These lengthening exercises also help to stretch me out and help clear any water retention, which I tend to get after long-haul flights. Grabbing workout time whenever I can means constantly carrying my kit around with me, so I've totally embraced athleisure – if I can turn up to a shoot in the same chic clothes I can wear to exercise, it saves me so much time and effort!"

Gisele Bundchen shows off her killer bikini body

Gisele Bündchen appeared completely unfazed by reports that her ex-husband, Tom Brady, has moved on with Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nadir following their divorce.

Amid rumors that the seven-time Super Bowl winner, 46, is 'casually dating' the newly single bombshell, 27, following her spilt from husband Billy Haire, his former spouse, 44, gave fans a glimpse of her relaxing summer and stunning bikini body.

However, sources have also told UsWeekly that Brady and Nadir are merely acquaintances and have not 'hooked up.'

In a slideshow, uploaded to Instagram on Thursday, the mother-of-two, who split from Brady following 13 years of marriage at the end of 2022, could be seen leaping with joy on the beach in a tiny swimsuit.

Other photos featured her posing in front of a wall covered in handcrafted mosaic art, making sandcastles while wearing a cowboy hat, playing volleyball at sunset and spending time with loved ones.

Bündchen has been in a relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, since June 2023.

The couple, who were friends for years before things turned romantic between them, have elected to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

Since their breakup, Brady has been romantically linked to a number of women, including Irina Shayk and Kim Kardashian, who poked fun at the rumors during Netflix's Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.

In recent days, however, he has been spotted multiple times with Nader, including at billionaire Michael Rubin's annual Fourth of July party in The Hamptons.

Although Tom and Brooks are reportedly dating, an insider claimed to Page Six that the relationship was currently 'nothing serious.'

That seriousness was in question, as the recently divorced model was spotted kissing Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece just earlier this month.

They accompanied each other as guests at Olivia Culpo's wedding to NFL star Christian McCaffery in Rhode Island.

A week later, she and Brady were subsequently seen at Rubin's A-list bash, which was held at his $50 million oceanfront home.

Meanwhile, the retired quarterback sparked romance rumors with Brazilian influencer, Isabella Settanni, who looks eerily like his ex-wife, late last month.

At the time, US Weekly reported that Brady and Settani — who has 213,000 followers on Instagram — had been spotted together in public on multiple occasions.

He also had a fling with the model Irina Shayk, who is Bradley Cooper's ex, before they called off their brief romance in late 2023.

Tom and his former wife Gisele — with whom he shares two children: son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10 — finalized their divorce on October 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage.

She has since moved on with her jiu jitsu instructor, 35-year-old Joaquim Valente.

Lori Harvey vacation is getting wild

Lori Harvey showed off a racy bikini on vacation in St. Tropez Tuesday, relaxing on a luxurious yacht as she soaked up the sun with her family.

The 27-year-old model and swimwear entrepreneur — whose father is comedian Steve Harvey — struck various poses while perched on a railing in some sizzling pics she shared on her Instagram Story.

The socialite shaded her face from the sun in a straw cowboy hat and accessorized with a pair of chic sunglasses, a diamond-trimmed gold Jacquie Aiche belly chain ($8,525), several ankle bracelets and chunky gold earrings by Fiery Jewelry ($65).

She enjoyed some music with her family on board, sharing videos of herself dancing and also taking a trip down a slide into the sea before rinsing off in an outdoor shower.

Although the Yevrah Swim founder didn’t appear to be rocking one of her own designs, she did make her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut this year in a Yevrah bikini, among other striking suits.

Harvey’s shoot was part of the magazine’s 60th-anniversary edition this May and also featured fellow SI Swim rookie stars Brittany Mahomes and Gayle King.

The SKN by LH skincare founder told SI Swim that posing for the mag was a “dream come true.”

“I would say the three words that I would use to describe it would be manifested, surreal and perfection because it was literally a moment that I manifested,” she said.

Perhaps she can manifest more leopard-print moments this summer.

Kate Upton always looking good in a bikini

Kate Upton's fans couldn't find a bad word to say as she stunned in ocean snaps while enjoying her St.Barths getaway in December 2022. Escaping winter for some tropical sunshine, the 32-year-old model enjoyed quality time with husband Justin Verlander, but their romantic travels came complete with the paparazzi. When The Daily Mail published photos of the Sports Illustrated Swim star showcasing her killer curves in swimwear, fans went wild. Kate was praised for having a "natural" body, with a popular comment noting her "perfect proportions."

Displaying her full curves in a plunging blue bikini, Kate reminded the cameras why she's graced the cover of SI Swim so many times. Highlighting her assets as she got soaking wet in the ocean while dancing around, the blonde opted for classic-cut briefs and multi-tonal hues on her striped swimwear, with her two-piece showing everything from her toned tummy and legs to her heaving cleavage.

Splashing around and throwing her arms up in the air, Kate Upton made a case for the classic two-piece, adding in shades and a bucket hat as she topped up her tan, and with two gold necklaces further drawing attention to her chest.

Looking happy as she was joined by a shirtless Justin, the mom of one put on a slight PDA with the former MLB player — shots showing them both in the water came complete with Kate wrapping her arms around Justin's shoulders. The couple, married since 2017, is raising daughter Genevieve, born in 2018.

Many of the remarks left to The Daily Mail celebrated Kate's figure in the "real woman" way. "Imagine having a body like that though! She looks so healthy and natural and most importantly she looks very happy," the leading comment reads. "Just perfect proportions, perfectly contoured and seemingly happy. What more could she want?" another fan wrote.

Agreeing, a further user said: "I love her body - she looks fit, beautiful and has great curves." Kate's curves have made 2024 headlines. In May, the star returned to SI Swim to front the magazine amid its 60th birthday celebrations.

Kate's 6.6 million Instagram fans loved her May share, one showing her in a pink and red bikini with striped bottoms. Going ruffly up top, the mom of one flashed her fierce curves and rock-hard abs, writing:

"I’m so honored to be on the cover for @si_swimsuit’s 60th anniversary. SI has been a huge part of my career so it felt really special to be back with @yutsai88 and @mj_day, alongside the other amazing women included on the cover." Kate Upton has a $20 million net worth.

Football WAG Jessica Aidi shows off her stunning figure in a bikini

Jessica Aidi is not quite in her birthday suit as she celebrates turning 33 at the beach.

The French beauty posted party pics in Ibiza this week.

She’s wed to footballer Marco Verratti who was left out of Italy’s Euros squad.

Bikini history: 1946 design still popular nearly 80 years later

The modern backless bikini, though adorned with a tie or a unique charm, is almost identical to the creation of the first daring official two-piece set in the 1940s, which put men and women off it for about two decades due to its lack of conservatism.

On July 5, 1946, 18-year-old French exotic dancer Micheline Bernardini brazenly donned nature's first black-and-white bikini during a press conference at a public swimming pool in Paris.

Louis Raiard, a renowned French mathematician turned clothing designer, has been combining women's bikini designs for nearly 80 years in an attempt to attract attention. He hoped that bikinis with newspaper clippings would cause shock and awe like the atomic bomb in 1945. Bernardini's photographs that appeared on the front pages of newspapers did just that.

Réard hired Bernardini to strut before the camera in his thong and triangle top designs, while professional runway models refused to wear the barely-there swimsuit.

Bernardini received about 50,000 letters from fans, mostly men, following media coverage of the ordeal, according to History.com.

The largely fabric-free design was labeled “Bikini” by Reard after a nuclear warhead test on the tiny island of Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier that week.

Although adoration for Bernardini grew quickly for the 30-inch cotton and jersey, Réard's designs struggled to strike a chord with American wearers until the 1960s. In the 1950s, European women began wearing skimpy bikinis, although Spain and Italy banned the suit style on public beaches in the early 1950s.

There was some shortage of swimsuits due to material rationing during World War II.

World War II put a heavy burden on supply rationing in the United States and Britain, and restrictions were placed on items such as food, shoes, and clothing, among other supplies, for preservation.

To purchase rationed items, people had to pay for both food and materials and pay “points” at the time of purchase. People with children were given points in the form of blue and red stamps for various selected items.

If an item is easily accessible but rationed, it costs less than an item in high demand. In 1943, a pound of bacon cost 30 cents and 7 points, according to the National World War II Museum.

In terms of clothing, Britain rationed fabric in 1941. According to the Imperial War Museum website, a woman's dress cost 11 points and a man's shirt required 8 points.

The length of men's shirts was restricted, and double cuffs on collared shirts were completely banned. In addition, the price of clothing and cloth was limited. Some textiles, including silk, were completely out of reach for designers and manufacturers.

At the time, women's fashion was not a priority and the selection of clothing for women was sparse. Since civilians were in the fashion business, they worked with what was available and affordable.

As the British and American governments continued their efforts to conserve for their nations, designers like Réard developed design and marketing strategies to appeal to the public and used raw materials and resources like cotton to create stylish garments that still met rationing requirements, thus the bikini

When World War II ended, so did the rationing program, but the bikini remained.

Although Réard provided the nomenclature, the bikini drama, and Bernardini's audience, his design was not the first two-piece swimsuit available to bathers, although it was the first to cut below the navel.

In 1946, fashion designer Jacques Heim, a rival of Riard, introduced what he called “the smallest bathing suit in the world” and named it after its size. However, his first designs were published in the 1930s.

According to the Museum of the Jewish People, Heim hoped to create the same level of excitement around Bitsy's beachwear as the detonation of an atomic bomb.

Although women have been appearing in bikinis poolside for nearly eight decades, the swimsuit remains a bright, attention-grabbing summer accessory.

Tennis Star Genie Bouchard is looking great in a Bikini

Professional tennis star Eugenie Bouchard went viral after she posted photos on Instagram showing her doing yard work in a green bikini.

“Sundays are for yard work,” she captioned one of the photos, which showed her standing in the yard wearing the bikini and cooling herself off with a hose.

The Blast called Bouchard a “celebrated Canadian tennis sensation” who is “Known for her powerful serves and dynamic court presence.” Bouchard made it to the finals of Wimbledon in 2014, according to Wimbledon.com, the highlight of her tennis career.

One of the green bikini photos posted by Bouchard to her Instagram page shows her standing outside by a fence. She captioned it only with a green heart emoji. The comments were flattering. “Perfect,” wrote one person. “Beautiful,” wrote another.

The photo with the hose also garnered positive comments. “Stunning girl!!!???” wrote one person. “My favorite post EVER,” another person wrote.

It’s not the first time she posted a swimsuit selfie on her Instagram page.

Bouchard’s page says she lives in Miami, Florida. Other recent photos showed her dressed up in Las Vegas, Nevada, and playing tennis.

Bouchard spoke about her sex appeal in an interview on YouTube with Valeria Lipovetsky.

“Tennis, first of all, is a great sport for that sex appeal side,” Bouchard told Lipovetsky in the interview. “We’re wearing short skirts, we’re wearing tank tops. It’s fun to turn on the TV and watch that. Right away I was able to get great marketing deals off the court, being asked to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition a few times.“

‘One thing that has always kept me going is my passion for tennis. The passion I developed when I first started playing has helped me through the tough moments of my career,” Bouchard wrote on Instagram.

She wrote, "yk what time of year it is:) #beachnastics #gymnastics #nj," on TikTok.

Dunne, who is dating No. 1 overall MLB prospect Paul Skenes, is enjoying an outstanding year. She has officially joined the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue family, appearing for the magazine for the second time. SI Swimsuit is thrilled to have her in the family.

They shared, “A gymnast since the age of 3, Dunne recently helped lead LSU Gymnastics to its first national championship in program history. The senior is one of the highest-paid female athletes in college sports today, making more than seven figures in name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals.”

They further added, “In June 2023, she created the Livvy Fund, using her NIL success to help other female student-athletes at LSU partner with brands and secure their own deals. Dunne returns to the SI Swimsuit issue for the second consecutive year in 2024.”

Fitness influencer Katie Austin likes these workouts

Fitness influencer and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Katie Austin is showing fans the workouts she does before hitting the runway for the iconic magazine. Austin, the daughter of Denise Austin, shared a video of herself wearing light pink two-piece workout gear, doing a mat workout in the sunshine. "Cannot wait to walk my 4th year of the iconic @si_swimsuit runway show tonight!!! Here are 4 things I prioritize when prepping for my walk? …now who's tuning in?!❤️‍?" she captioned the post.

Austin loves Pilates, strength training, cardio, and barre-type workouts. "I mix up my workouts and really lean into variety," she told Women's Health. "I like the combination of something a little bit lighter on the body paired with more intense strength training, in addition to some cardio. But if I only have time to work out, say, two days that week, I'll do cardio and sculpt mixed together—It's my favorite way to work out."

Austin didn't find her Sports Illustrated shoot intimidating. "One thing I love most about SI Swimsuit is their encouragement to be your most authentic self and showcase it," she told E! News. "So, when it came time to prep for my SI shoot, I didn't do an entire overhaul of my lifestyle, but rather focused on things that were already important to me! I ate a balanced diet, worked out, and prioritized my mental health and routine!"

Austin is grateful she and her sister were raised to have a positive relationship with food. "My parents always had hearty, yet healthy, home-cooked meals on the table for us—like a pot roast and baked potato," she told Women's Health. "I knew that I needed carbs, protein, fat, nutrients to power my workouts and game and give me energy. I always like to ask myself, 'What are you adding in?' I don't focus on restriction or subtracting ingredients or food groups or anything. I don't eliminate. My mom has such a zest for life, but also a zest for food!"

Austin has good advice for anyone just starting on their fitness journey. "Don't expect to lose 20 pounds in a week or run a marathon in a month," she told E! News. "Set small, achievable goals that you can work towards over time. For example, aim to walk for 30 minutes a day, or to do 10 push-ups without stopping. Celebrate your successes along the way, no matter how small they may seem."

Austin switches up her workouts depending on her mood. "We go through different phases of life and reasons why we work out," she told Women's Health. "One week, I could be working out simply because I'm really stressed, and I'm craving lower-impact movement that just feels gentle and good. Then the next six months I may be training harder with weights to gain strength. Changes and shifts are great."
