The WORST dressed celebs at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party
Reality stars, influencers, and models gathered to celebrate the launch of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in New York on Thursday - but not everyone looked the part. As expected, the women didn't hold back with their glitzy, and sometimes revealing, looks on the red carpet. From plunging necklines and sheer fabric to dangerously high splits, the fashion on display left little to the imagination and in some cases completely missed the mark. Leading the faux pas was social media star Remi Bader who wore a completely see-through black mesh dress that revealed her slimmed-down physique. The former plus-size influencer, who had bariatric surgery to lose weight after becoming famous, confidently flaunted her figure. Not to be outdone, fellow influencer Sarah Nicole Landry turned heads in a completely sheer bodysuit. The mom-of-four covered up her bottom half with a long black skirt but her breasts were still on full display and only covered by black tape. DJ and influencer Xandra Pohl showed off her cleavage and long legs in a flirty little frock which featured an oddly puffed out skirt. While model Lorena Duran was completely covered up in a long-sleeved dress with a high neck, the print featured a naked woman's torso which didn't quite make the impact she may have hoped for. Lauren Chan, a Canadian model and advocate for size inclusivity, is one of four women gracing the cover of this year's issue, joining Salma Hayek, gymnast Jordan Chiles, and college athlete Oliviia Dunne. Speaking to People, Chan said: 'I'm the first out lesbian on the cover - with her own cover - and how much that means to me makes that surprise feel so overwhelming. 'That's where I feel like the tears of joy and celebration and relief and community come from.' Many fans have congratulated Chan, while others questioned why it was even being discussed at all. Such people have left comments that read: 'How is her sex life anybody's business?' and 'It's 2025. Nobody cares.' Another user wrote, 'She's beautiful. Why can't we just focus on the cover? Why is it all about sexuality? Smh.' Sports Illustrated has faced similar criticism in recent years for breaking traditional beauty standards. In 2020, Valentina Sampaio became the first transgender model to feature in the issue and in 2021, Leyna Bloom became the first transgender cover star, followed by pop star Kim Petras landing a cover in 2023. Chan herself fired back at critics after someone left a dismissive comment on a photo from her shoot for the mag which shows her posing on a Bermudan beach in an off-white lace two-piece. Hitting the mark: Renee Herbert and Elisha Herbert proudly flaunted their slender figures in stunning sheer gowns Chan posted a screenshot of the remark, left by an Instagram user named Caiser Hogan, who wrote, 'Who are they even doing this for anymore? Women?? This makes zero sense.' In the post, Chan responded, 'This is exactly why I show up in this space with my full chest.' She added that the magazine is meant for women - for representation and inspiration - not as 'an objectifying catalogue of fantasy for patriarchal pawns.' In a second slide, she added: 'Wait 'til he finds out I'm a lesbian.' In the caption, Chan explained that the comment 'struck a chord with me' and said she deliberately left it up for everyone to see. She wrote: 'The inclusion of myself and other folks that represent minorities in SI Swimsuit signifies an evolution in how women are allowed to exist in this society and which women deserve respect.' Chan continued: 'This man is insinuating that because I am a size 14, Asian and Middle Eastern, a lesbian, etc., that I am unattractive to him individually and that therefore no man, based on the patriarchal beauty standard, could deem me worthy of being in this publication.' The influencer went on to explain that the magazine is helping to redefine beauty 'through the female gaze,' and that every woman should feel seen in its pages. She said: 'It is not an outdated, objectifying catalogue of fantasy for patriarchal pawns. If that makes men feel irrelevant and angry enough to throw a tantrum in my comments ... I see no issue publicly and permanently addressing them.' She signed off her rebuttal to the comment by throwing her full support behind the magazine's mission, writing that she believes in it 'with [her] whole heart,' and said: 'SI Swimsuit 2025 is for the girls.'

Sports Illustrated's WORST dressed celebs on Swimsuit Issue launch party red carpet
Reality stars, influencers and models turned out in droves for the launch of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in New York on Thursday. As expected, the women didn't hold back when it came to pushing the envelope on the red carpet. From plunging necklines and sheer fabric to dangerously high splits, the fashion on display left little to the imagination. Social media star Remi Bader was hard to miss in a completely see-through black dress that revealed her slimmed-down physique. The former plus-size influencer, who had bariatric surgery to lose weight after becoming famous, confidently flaunted her slim figure as she cycled through various poses. Not to be outdone, fellow influencer Sarah Nicole Landry turned heads in a completely sheer bodysuit. The mom-of-four added a black skirt to the look, but her breasts were still on full display and only covered by black tape. Cover girl Livvy Dunne put on a cheeky display in an unbelievably short mini-dress that could barely cover up her derriere. DJ and influencer Xandra Pohl showed off her cleavage and long legs in a flirty little frock, while Australian model Elisha Herbert dared to bare in a sheer skin tight dress. Spanish model Lorena Duran was completely covered in a long-sleeved dress with a high neck, but the print on the garment featured a naked woman's torso. Lauren Chan, a Canadian model and advocate for size inclusivity, is one of four women gracing the cover of this year's issue, joining Salma Hayek, gymnast Jordan Chiles, and college athlete Livvy Dunne.
