Whether she’s rocking a baby blue two-piece or striking a pose in a long-sleeve one-piece, McGrady proved that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world.
McGrady’s Sizzling Photoshoot: A Masterclass in Confidence
The Sports Illustrated team took to social media to tease McGrady’s latest photoshoot, captioning one clip with a playful warning: “A heat warning has been issued… @huntermcgrady just melted the ice. 🔥😏.” In the video, McGrady is seen exploring the snowy slopes in a baby blue, skin-baring two-piece swimsuit that showcases her curves and confidence. Another image from the shoot features her holding skis and posing in a long-sleeve one-piece from Sienna Swim, paired with ski goggles. The caption reads, “Curves, confidence, and alpine allure… Hunter McGrady took Switzerland by storm.”
McGrady’s Reaction and Fan Frenzy
McGrady herself was clearly overwhelmed by the opportunity, commenting, “Freaking pinch me!!! 🥹♥️” Her sister and fellow model, Michaela McGrady, couldn’t help but gush over her sibling’s photos, writing, “My jaw is at the center of the earth.” Fans and followers were equally impressed, with one user declaring, “Warmed up the whole app with this one 🔥.” The photoshoot quickly went viral, proving McGrady’s undeniable impact on the fashion and swimwear industry.
A Veteran of Sports Illustrated
This isn’t McGrady’s first time gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated. Last year, she made history by becoming one of the cover stars of the magazine’s annual swimsuit issue, wearing a bold cutout one-piece look. She was joined by a star-studded lineup that included Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen, and the trailblazing Gayle King, who made her SI debut at the age of 69. McGrady’s presence on the cover was a testament to her influence and her ability to inspire body positivity and inclusivity in the fashion world.
The 2025 Issue: A Celebration of Diversity and Strength
The 2025 issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit promises to be just as groundbreaking. In addition to McGrady, the spread will feature a diverse lineup of models and athletes, including Camille Kostek, who returned for another winter-themed shoot. Kostek, who is dating NFL star Rob Gronkowski, was photographed frolicking in the snow in a sultry bikini and a cozy fur jacket, as well as skiing in a two-piece thong. The issue also highlights trailblazing athletes like WNBA star Cameron Brink, who showed off her abs in a variety of bikinis, and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles. Even TikTok star Alix Earle teased her own shoot, hinting at a sizzling appearance.
McGrady’s Advocacy for Inclusivity
McGrady, who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2017, has long been an advocate for inclusivity in the fashion industry. Dubbed the mag’s “curviest model ever,” she has used her platform to speak out about body positivity and representation. Reflecting on her 2024 cover, she wrote, “This moment will forever be one of my greatest. I am profoundly aware of the legacy of powerful women who have paved the way, those who tirelessly advocate for inclusivity every single day. To every woman who aspires to have it all, remember that each victory is a victory for us all, and a collective step forward.”
