Earlier this summer, the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue was released, with four prominent women landing respective covers.
Singer and entertainer Ciara was the most well-known of the four to grace the covers this summer. The wife of star quarterback Russell Wilson participated in her first shoot for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and crushed it.
SI Swimsuit editor in chief MJ Day explained why Ciara landed one of the covers.
“The journey we’ve been on—to break out of the mold the world put us in—may sound familiar,” says Day. “It’s certainly familiar to the women we’ve chosen to be our cover models: Maye, Ciara, Yumi, Kim. So in this issue, we encourage readers to see these models as we see them: multifaceted, multitalented—and sexy while they’re at it.”
