Hailey Van Lith was an outstanding women's college basketball player, finishing up her time at TCU. Van Lith now joins the Chicago Sky in the WNBA, playing next to Angel Reese on the squad. She's gearing up for her first pro season. But Van Lith also has taken time out for a photo shoot.

Yes, Van Lith is one of a number of female athletes who will be featured in an upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition for 2025. On Wednesday, May 7, Van Lith and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Instagram accounts shared her look in a blue-and-white-striped bikini.
