Sports Illustrated has revealed not one, but three covers for its infamous Swimsuit Issue.
For the first time in the Swimsuit Issue’s 52-year run, three cover stars – model Hailey Clauson, plus-size model Ashley Graham and UFC fighter Ronda Rousey – were chosen to appear on three separate covers for the 2016 issue.

Representing different shapes and body types, the magazine called the trio the “new SI Swimsuit”:
“All three women are beautiful, sexy and strong. Beauty is not cookie cutter. 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.”
Clauson, Graham and Rousey, join Swimsuit veterans like Chrissy Teigan and Irina Shayk, along with newbies like Gigi Hadid.
