@tyrabanks, @camillekostek and @alexmorgan13 have landed the cover of #SISwim 2019! ✨ “The three women that make up the covers of the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue represent the brand in the most powerful way possible,” @mj_day said. “While each individual woman is so unique, they come together cohesively to tell a spectacular story.”

Oh hell yes! Tyra Banks is back, baby, and she hasn’t aged a bit.

The supermodel and entrepreneur came out of retirement to hit the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, nearly two decades after being the first black woman to have a solo in 1997.

This is the third SI Swimsuit cover for the beloved Tyra. She owes a great deal to the magazine, in fact. After all, it launched her career when she first appeared in it in 1996 — with model Valeria Mazza. That was later followed by a solo cover in 1997.

“Since Tyra’s first cover in 1996, she’s transformed herself into nothing less than a mogul, a cultural force and a supernova of inspiration and empowerment,” SI Swimsuit Editor MJ Day told People magazine. “She’s kind of the Swimsuit Issue ethos come to life, everything we know this franchise can be.”

We’re in love!
