Sports Illustrated are gearing up to announce their cover model for their 2016 swimsuit edition in a TV special on February 13 at 10.30 p.m., that’s bound to get pulses racing. Not only is it great for the publication but it is also fantastic to see the stunning stars on the cover. 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”.

On choosing Hailey Clauson’s cover: “Hailey Clauson is the definition of a modern bombshell”.

“[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.

On choosing Ronda Rousey’s cover: “Ronda Rousey is a cultural phenomenon”.

Beginning Monday, 2/15, the new issue will be available on newsstands and the content will be accessible on the brand new SI Swimsuit App as well as on SI.com/swimsuit and on tablet editions of the magazine.
