The 60th anniversary edition of the coveted swimsuit issue features a beautifully diverse cast of models, with Gayle King, Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen and Hunter McGrady selected as the cover stars.

The anniversary Swimsuit Issue features 52 trailblazing women, each of whom “Serves as an inspiration in her own unique way, championing beliefs that SI Swimsuit has long upheld: the importance of representation and the polysemous nature of beauty.” The magazine hits shelves today.
