For the first time ever in the history of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, this year there’s three separate covers and even better – three gorgeous cover models in Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson.

In a special TV event organised by Sports Illustrated, viewers got a first look at the SI covers and so did the three cover girls.

“Every single woman that is booked for this magazine is cover worthy,” explained Assistant Managing Editor MJ Day. “The collective beauty in the magazine is overwhelming. SI has always been and will always be about the models; the pictures you see here are a celebration of them.”

“The three covers of Hailey, Ronda and Ashley celebrate the new SI Swimsuit. All three women are beautiful, sexy and strong. Beauty is not cookie cutter. Beauty is not ‘one size fits all’. Beauty is all around us and that became especially obvious to me while shooting and editing this year’s issue.”

Ronda Rousey’s cover:

“Ronda is a cultural phenomenon. She is the perfect combination of beauty, brains, brawn and humility. She possesses a spirit bigger than the space around her, and it is both infectious and inspiring.”

Ashley Graham’s cover:

“Ashley Graham is a sultry, feminine masterpiece. I dare you not to stare at her. Ashley commands your attention in her photographs. She owns her sexiness in a way that every woman should. Her confidence is contagious.”

Hailey Clauson’s cover:

“Hailey Clauson is the definition of a modern bombshell. Learn a little bit about her and you’ll appreciate her beauty even more. Even as unsettling as her beauty can be, one minute in her company and you’ll feel like you’ve known her for years.”

So now that you know each model a little better, only one question remains… Who’s your favourite???

Special BeyondTheGame.TV mention to Caroline Wozniacki. Caroline made waves when she appeared in the 2015 Swimsuit Edition in a teeny tiny white string bikini. This year she took it up a notch by doing like Ronda and getting her swimsuit body painted.
