First-time Sports Illustrated model King, the 69-year-old
co-host of "CBS Mornings," smiled in a pink-and-green patterned
one piece suit with spaghetti straps.
McGrady, who founded a fashion line for sizes up to 5X, wore a
brown one-piece with large cutouts. She first appeared in the
magazine in 2017.
Upton donned a pink and red ruffled bikini for her fourth
swimsuit issue cover. Teigan, who graced the cover of the 50th
anniversary issue, posed in an orange suit with a plunging
neckline for the current issue, which will debut on newsstands
on Friday.
The swimsuit issue debuted in 1964 and was known for showcasing
skinny young women in revealing bikinis. In recent years, it has
diversified its pool of models by featuring older women, larger
bodies, trans models, Paralympic athletes and a woman in a
burkini, a full-body swimsuit worn by some Muslim women.
"Over the past 60 years we have shattered stereotypes, embraced
diversity, and championed inclusivity,” MJ Day, editor in chief
of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, said in a statement.
In addition to the four individual covers this year, the
magazine released three others featuring groups of women who had
appeared in the past, including Christie Brinkley, Martha
Stewart, Megan Rapinoe, Paulina Porizkova and Tyra Banks.
The women wore evening gowns in the group photos.
