Livvy Dunne, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Gabby Thomas Among 2025 SI Swimsuit Issue Stars
Gymnasts Livvy Dunne, Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee are among the stars featured in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, with track star Gabby Thomas also making an appearance.
Dunne and Chiles were revealed among the cover models for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit special issue. They were joined by Academy Award-nominated actress Salma Hayek and model Lauren Chan.
While they weren't featured on the cover, Lee and Thomas also made appearances:
Dunne, who is making her third straight appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, recently announced her retirement from gymnastics after winning a 2024 NCAA championship and a 2025 SEC championship with LSU. She's one of the most popular sports figures in the world with a social media following of over 10 million.
"When people look at my Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit] photos, I want them to take away that you can have the best of both worlds," Dunne said after her debut in the issue. "You can be an athlete. You can be in school. You can do modeling. You can have the best of both worlds and you can be a strong, independent woman while doing it all."
Chiles helped lead Team USA to a women's gymnastics gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics before returning to UCLA for the 2025 season. She placed first in the floor exercise with a perfect score at the Big Ten Championships to help the Bruins win a team title, and she placed first in the uneven bars at the NCAA championships to help the team finish second overall.
Lee has represented Team USA in the past two Olympics. She has won two gold medals, one silver medal and three bronze medals over the two competitions. She won the All-Around gold in Tokyo while joining forces with Chiles to help the United States win the team gold in Paris last year. She also won the All-Around bronze in Paris.
Thomas has piled up five medals during her two Olympic Games appearances, featuring three gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze medal.
"These women are why we do what we do," SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day wrote of the 2025 models. "These stories we share here and on our platforms are about so much more than what meets the eye. They are about the power of authenticity, the strength of vulnerability and the beauty of living a life that’s unapologetically yours."
