Chrissy Teigen is making her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit return.

The 38-year-old model is featured on one of the magazine’s 2024 covers, which also coincides with its 60th anniversary.

Teigen showed off her stunning looks in the photos, posing by a pool while wearing Jacquie Aiche body jewelry and a variety of swimwear. She rocked a green woven bikini, a sparkly champagne colored bikini, and several cutout one piece swimsuits in black, white, orange, and blue denim.

Teigen made her debut in SI Swim back in 2010, where she was named Rookie of the Year. She later graced the cover of the magazine's 50th anniversary issue in 2014, alongside Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal.

"It feels like I've experienced so many different moments since our first photo shoot. I love how all the pictures and projects we've worked on over the years feel like chapters in a book," Teigen shared with the publication.

This year, the magazine showcased other models on the covers such as Kate Upton, Hunter McGrady, and Gayle King. In celebration of its 60th anniversary, three more covers were created featuring 27 iconic SI Swim figures like Christie Brinkley, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Paulina Porizkova, and Winnie Harlow.

Teigen expressed her excitement about being included in the legends issue alongside icons she admires as incredible women. She feels honored to be a part of it.

Even though it has been a decade since her feature in SI Swimsuit, Teigen has been far from idle. Since 2014, she has authored and released three cookbooks and welcomed four children with her husband John Legend. Their children are Luna, 8, Miles, 5, Esti, 1, and Wren, 10 months. Tragically, in 2020, she experienced the loss of her baby Jack at 20 weeks due to a partial placenta disruption.

In a People interview in March 2023, Teigen shared that being a mom has made her feel more confident.

She mentioned, "We've been through it all - stitches, almost losing a toe, broken bones. We've seen it all and we're okay."
