The 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue just got hotter.
On Wednesday, the mag announced that Olivia Culpo, Hunter McGrady and Ebonee Davis will be featured as rookie models in next month’s issue.
“I am honored to be in such great company with such an iconic brand,” Culpo, the 25-year-old Instagram model and former Miss Universe, told SI.
But these bikini babes are more than just pretty faces. McGrady is a 23-year-old plus-size activist and was photographed wearing only body paint for the mag’s 2017 issue.
“Here I am, a size 16 at nearly 6 feet tall and am yet again in what is considered the sexiest magazine to come out every year!” McGrady writes on her Instagram.
Meanwhile Davis, a 25-year-old model, recently gave a TED Talk about racism in the modeling industry.
Davis, who was a SI model-search contestant in 2016, tells SI, “I am not only coming back as a rookie, I am coming back as Ebonee. The real me. Unapologetic and 100 percent true to myself.”
