Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady & Gayle King Celebrate Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue & 60th Anniversary

Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady and Gayle King hit the red carpet at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2024 Issue Release and 60th Anniversary Celebration at Hard Rock Hotel New York on Thursday (May 16) in New York City.

The four ladies are featured on separate covers for the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Check out their individual covers here!

“Over the past 60 years we have shattered stereotypes, embraced diversity, and championed inclusivity,” MJ Day, Editor in Chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, said. “With each passing year, we have challenged ourselves to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. While this year’s issue is a tribute to the recent past, it’s also a reminder of the work we must continue to do. We must remind women to challenge the status quo, to celebrate strength and confidence, and to inspire those around us to embrace their uniqueness and pursue their passions fearlessly.”

Also in attendance at the release party were many past Swimsuit Issue cover girls, who are also featured on special Legends covers.

This year’s issue was shot in Mexico, Belize, Portugal and Hollywood, Fla. You can check out the full features on Swimsuit.SI.com. The issue is on newsstands May 17.
