Hilary Duff, Alix Earle, Tiffany Haddish, and Nicole Williams English Named 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Stars

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has announced the cover models for its 2026 issue, spotlighting four distinct personalities: Hilary Duff, Alix Earle, Tiffany Haddish, and Nicole Williams English.

The announcement marks the latest chapter for the publication, which continues to expand its scope beyond a single cover. The four women will each grace their own cover, while the full issue features a total of 34 women representing diverse backgrounds and professions.

"Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is no longer just a single publication. It is a movement that celebrates self-acceptance, personal evolution and the boundless definition of beauty," said SI Swimsuit editor in chief MJ Day. "This year we continue to prove that empowerment is not a trend. It is our foundation."

Day highlighted the significance of the four cover selections, noting their impact on the brand's direction. "Our four cover models—Hilary Duff, Alix Earle, Tiffany Haddish and Nicole Williams English—redefine what you might expect from the SI Swimsuit Issue, and that's exactly what makes this moment so exciting. The goal is never sameness. It's the opposite. These women possess relevance, resilience and range that extend far beyond what the world expects of them."

The 34 women featured across the 2026 issue include athletes, entrepreneurs, comedians, and emerging talent. Among them are Nina Agdal, Olivia Dunne, Bethenny Frankel, Camille Kostek, Brooks Nader, Jasmine Sanders, Molly Sims, and Ilona Maher, alongside numerous other contributors from varied fields.
