Three's no crowd in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
The 2016 edition of the magazine comes with three separate covers,
featuring either MMA fighter Ronda Rousey, model Hailey Clouson or
plus-sized model Ashley Graham.
Graham, a size 16, is the second plus-sized model featured in the
magazine's 52 annual swimsuit editions — following Robyn Lawley, who
appeared last year.
This marks Graham’s first appearance on the Sports Illustrated roster.
Clouson, 20, started modeling at 14. She's making her second SI swimsuit edition appearance in two years.
The S.I. cover was revealed on first-of-its-kind broadcast on TNT.
It featured all three bathing beauties — plus prior front page models like Chrissy Tiegen.
“I'm insanely speechless,” said Graham, when she got the good news.
Clauson said she was “shaking and crying” after she found out.
“I love it so much because it represents three different strong and beautiful women,” the model said.
Rousey said it was an honor to be part of the groundbreaking covers.
“[It’s] not promoting just one cookie cutter image for every woman, but
showing that the healthiest version of every body type is the sexiest
version out there,” she said.
