Model Hunter McGrady stripped down in two swimwear looks for a photoshoot in Switzerland for the forthcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025.
“A heat warning has been issued… @huntermcgrady just melted the ice. 🔥😏,” the publication captioned a clip of McGrady exploring the slopes in a baby blue skin-baring two-piece look.
The mag also dropped another snap of the Los Angeles native, with the model holding a pair of skis, posing in a long-sleeve one-piece swimsuit from Sienna Swim with skii googles.
“Curves, confidence, and alpine allure… Hunter McGrady took Switzerland by storm,” the caption reads.
The model herself commented, “Freaking pinch me!!! 🥹♥️” Meanwhile, her sister and fellow model Michaela McGrady said, “My jaw is at the center of the earth”
A third added, “Warmed up the whole app with this one 🔥”
Hunter is no stranger to the Sports Illustrated world; She starred on the cover of the much-anticipated glossy’s yearly issue last year, wearing a cutout one-piece look.
The 31-year-old joined a high-profile lineup of cover stars for the issue, including Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen and Gayle King, who made her SI debut at 69 years old.
Meanwhile, this year’s spread also includes previous cover star Camille Kostek, who made a grand return in a similar wintery shoot.
Rob Gronkowski’s girlfriend can be seen frolicking around in a sultry bikini and toasty fur jacket and skiing in a two-piece thong in the first-look pics.
The issue will also include trailblazing athletes, including WNBA star Cameron Brink (who showed off her abs in a variety of bikinis) and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles.
Plus, TikTok star Alix Earle teased her own shoot, too.
McGrady, who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2017, was deemed the mag’s “curviest model ever” and has been outspoken about inclusivity in the industry.
“This moment will forever be one of my greatest. I am profoundly aware of the legacy of powerful women who have paved the way, those who tirelessly advocate for inclusivity every single day.” she wrote, in part, of her 2024 cover. “To every woman who aspires to have it all, remember that each victory is a victory for us all, and a collective step forward.”
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025 hits newsstands in May.
