Lauren Chan Makes Historic SI Swimsuit Cover Debut
The 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue features a strong emphasis on diversity and representation, with Lauren Chan making history as both the first out lesbian and first Chinese person to have a solo cover. The issue drew both celebration within LGBTQ+ and Chinese communities and backlash from critics accusing the magazine of promoting a 'woke' agenda. Gabby Thomas, appearing for the second time, used her feature to promote body confidence and inspire young girls, though she was unable to attend the launch party. Olivia Dunne and Lauren Chan jointly participated in lighting up the Empire State Building to mark the magazine's release and discussed the importance of inclusive representation. WNBA star Cameron Brink also made her debut, highlighting the challenges and empowerment of female athletes. The magazine continues its tradition of challenging beauty standards by celebrating diversity among its cover stars.
