Hunter Mcgrady Shines in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Hunter McGrady, a 31-year-old model, has been featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025, posing in a stringy bikini in Switzerland, marking her second consecutive year in the issue and solidifying her position as a trailblazer in the industry.

McGrady has been a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star since 2024 and has been praised for her advocacy of inclusivity in the industry. She has been open about her journey, including her decision to pursue modeling after being deemed the "curviest model ever" by Sports Illustrated. The issue also features other celebrities, including Kate Upton, Gayle King, and Camille Kostek.

As a plus-size model, McGrady has broken barriers in the industry, creating her own size-inclusive clothing brand, All Worthy, and working with brands like Olay, Lane Bryant, and Nordstrom. She was inducted into the 2024 class of SI Swimsuit with a feature alongside 26 other icons and will appear in the magazine's 2025 issue with a shoot in Switzerland.

McGrady's journey with SI Swimsuit has taken her to various locations, including the 2024 cover shoot, which she called one of her greatest moments. She hopes to inspire others with her story, saying "I hope that women everywhere know that they are so much more than their size, than their body, than the way that they look." Her shoot in Saas Fee, Switzerland, by Derek Kettela for the 2025 issue, features her posing in ivory and baby blue colors, matching the snowy scenery.

With her continued presence in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, McGrady remains a beacon of body positivity and inclusivity, inspiring women everywhere to embrace their unique beauty and challenge traditional beauty standards.
