Just a few months ago, the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue was released, with four prominent women landing respective covers.
Easily the most well-known was singer Ciara, who stole the spotlight in this year’s shoot.
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.”
