Stunning Jena Sims took to social media to show off the six sizzling swimwear looks she modeled for the brand-new issue of Sports Illustrated’s iconic swimwear issue. It was the flawless bikini model’s second time in the coveted magazine.
The print edition — sure to be a collector’s item — will be available Saturday, May 17.
In a montage video shot on the idyllic beaches of Bermuda, Sims, 36, showed off all six looks — including five teeny bikinis and one strappy, cheeky one-piece. She posted the social media shares to Instagram and TikTok on Tuesday, May 13, amid the excitement of the digital release of many of the magazine’s photos.
@jenamsims SI SWIMSUIT out now!!! @SI SWIMSUIT 👙 #sportsillustratedswimsuit #sportsillustratedmodel #SIswim2025 ♬ original sound - Jena SimsSims’ bronzed skin flaunted her defined muscles, accented by sun-kissed blonde highlights. The look was perfect for her gold bikini that had mermaid-worthy scales that reflected the tropical sun. She also wore a tiny, strappy gold one-piece, which as she posed over a rock in the pristine turquoise ocean revealed to have virtually no fabric on its backside.
A teensy blue bikini also made the cut, plus two white bikinis, one of which featured chunky necklace-like strands instead of a top. The white further accented her tan skin.

“YEAR TWO BABY!” Sims wrote on Instagram. LIV golfer Brooks Koepka's wife also called the experience “inspirational” and said she worked hard at the gym and as a leader to find her place among the group of women, who included Olympic athletes and sports superstars of all kinds.
“I look up to each of the models on the covers and in the pages, and still can’t believe I’m among them,” she added. The cover models for the 2025 swimwear issue were revealed to be gymnasts Livvy Dunne and Jordan Chiles, Hollywood super-star Salma Hayek Pinault, and inclusive fashion icon Lauren Chan. Famed photog Ben Watts shot both Sims and Dunne.
