In its 61st year, Salma Hayek, Lauren Chan, Olivia Dunne and Jordan Chiles are the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover models! Hard to believe, but Salma is covering Sports Illustrated Swimsuit for the first time ever. “I used to look at this magazine and wanted to see who was the new, gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment,” she told Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin on Today. “It never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover. Because (the women) didn’t look like me. My body isn’t necessarily the model type. I never thought that was a possibility — and for it to happen when I’m 58! It’s really shocking.”

Olympian Jordan Chiles wore a gold bikini for one of her covers saying she’s in “awe” of the experience, adding that is “a dream come true.”

Model Lauren Chan is proud to be the “first out lesbian” on the cover of the magazine. This is also her second time gracing the cover. As a swimsuit rookie in 2023, she was the first queer plus-size model for the brand.
