LSU national champion gymnast Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, were among several models who shared previews of their upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit pictorials ahead of the magazine's annual release Tuesday (May 14).
Dunne, 21, shared a photo captured from her SI Swimsuit photoshoot on her Instagram story on Monday (May 13) with the caption, "Happy #si_swimsuit drop eve to those who celebrate."
Mahomes, a former college soccer player, fitness trainer and the owner of the National Women's Soccer League team, the Kansas City Current, also shared a video of her SI Swimsuit photoshoot on her Instagram account.
"A moment for @si_swimsuit launch day😊🫶🏼," Mahomes wrote.
SI Swimsuit announced Dunne, whose LSU Tigers recently won the NCAA gymnastics national championship, would be appearing in the magazine's 60th anniversary edition, having made her debut in the 2023 edition of the iconic magazine as part of a multi-year partnership NIL deal, in November. Mahomes was announced as a 2024 SI Swimsuit rookie days ahead of her husband's Super Bowl LVIII win against the San Francisco 49ers in February.
The 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 60th anniversary edition will have four separate covers featuring past models Chrissy Teigen, Kate Upton and Hunter McGrady, as well as veteran journalist Gayle King.
“A 60th anniversary is a big deal. It might not be recognized as lavishly as the number that 50 is, but we felt we should wholeheartedly celebrate 60, too, for a simple reason: because the journey we’ve been on for the past 10 years is something we humbly consider to be revolutionary,” said Editor-In-Chief MJ Day via SI Swimsuit's official website. “We have shattered stereotypes. We have embraced diversity. We have championed inclusivity. With each passing year, we have challenged ourselves to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.”
