Women in Sports Shine at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch Party

The 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch Party in New York was a night to remember, with women in sports truly taking center stage.

Retired LSU gymnast Olivia “Livvy” Dan and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles looked absolutely stunning as they posed together at the Hard Rock Hotel.

This year’s cover stars, alongside Academy Award nominee Salma Hayek and entrepreneur Lauren Chan, are definitely turning heads.

Dan dazzled in a strapless mini dress, while Chiles opted for a sleek black dress featuring leg slits and stylish cutouts. Both absolutely nailed their looks.

During the event, Dan crossed paths with Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, who made her SI swimsuit debut in this edition.

After a quick costume change, it was time for the after-party.

Dan showcased a striking thin black dress with white accents and shorts underneath, capturing attention effortlessly.

The former NCAA champion shared a fun moment with rapper 50 Cent, pouring champagne into her glass and later hitting the stage to perform.

Meanwhile, Chiles and Hayek enjoyed a lighthearted moment, dancing and laughing together, celebrating their exciting debut in the SI swimsuit issue.

Returning for a third consecutive year, Chan has solidified her place in this iconic franchise. For Dan, this edition marks both her first SI swimsuit cover and her third appearance in the magazine.

The event was a vibrant showcase, with Dan and her fellow swimsuit models making waves across New York at various celebrations.
