Ashley Graham teases her sultry return to 'Sports Illustrated' Swimsuit Issue


Ashley Graham was one of the cover models for last year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, donning a tiny, purple string bikini. This year, she heats up the issue from within, while Kate Upton's face (and bod) graces three different covers.

Graham, who joins an array of models on Vogue's March cover, tweeted a photo from her shoot to her followers on Wednesday.

In the pic, Graham models a white, triangle bikini top with large, gold studs that match her hoop earrings and jewelry.

Hannah Jeter, who announced she and husband, retired Yankee Derek Jeter, are having a baby girl on Monday, said her photo shoot took place only weeks after finding out she was pregnant.

Hannah and Graham are two of 28 official models in the issue. Christie Brinkley, 63, posed with her daughters, Alexa Ray Joel and Sailor Brinkley Cook. Gymnastics Olympians Simone Biles and Aly Raisman joined tennis stars Caroline Wozniacki, Genie Bouchard, and Serena Williams. Social media darling Chrissy Teigen also made her return to the magazine.
