The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover always gets a lot of attention. This year's edition especially, as it is decorated with a model with a stronger figure. Ashley Graham wears clothing size 48. Graham was already part of the famous magazine's advertising campaign last year, reserved for slim and petite girls, but this year she managed to make it onto the cover. There will be three of them in this year's edition dedicated to swimwear, which is another novelty. In addition to the 28-year-old American woman, she will be decorated separately by UFC champion Ronda Rousey and model Hailey Clauson.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit "host" will be on the cover for the first time a model with a stronger figure, and for the first time in its 52-year history, they will be just three different covers. One, historically, will adorn the aforementioned Ashley Graham, who is not the first "plus size" model that Sports Illustrated magazine included in its selection for the issue dedicated to swimwear, but she is the first to smile from the cover.
On the second, the UFC champion will show off her charms Ronda Rousey, and the third seed will be Hailey Clauson, which will also be the most "classic" cover, since it is a model of perfect proportions.
