SI Swim model Lauren Chan took to social media to share her favorite images from the brand-new 2026 issue.
And two A-list WAGs fan-girled over one in particular: her post’s cover image showing the model scorching in a barely-there rope bikini featuring a risky too-small top.
“My favorite @si_swimsuit 2026 images 💦,” Chan captioned her Instagram share.
“Damn mine too,” commented Brooks Koepka’s wife, Jena Sims.
“Omg omg omg,” raved Lions QB Jared Goff’s wife, Christen Goff.
While shooting the stunning photos, Chan got to bond with at least one A-list athlete, too: “I got to see these happen in real time,” wrote Olympic rugby hero Ilona Maher.
Chan’s friends and fans also flooded the comments.
“Show me the ropes gorgeous lady 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍,” quipped one.
“Imagine looking like this,” added another.
“These are so hot my phone melted,” raved a third.

“JAW DROPPING!!!!” gushed a fourth. “SO ICONIC!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”
“How you level up every year is beyond me,” wrote a fifth.
SI Swimsuit’s article on the star touted her work in Glamour, Vogue and Interview.
“But her love of fashion goes beyond words on the page and walks on the runway," says the outlet. "In 2019, Chan founded Henning, a clothing line crafted for women sizes 12 and above. The luxe line received praise from Vogue, The New York Times, Women’s Wear Daily and more, and in 2024, the brand was acquired by size-inclusive powerhouse, Universal Standard.”
