Reigning Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover star Jordan Chiles is deemed “unforgettable” in her debut in the iconic magazine.

For her feature, she works her chiseled gymnast’s figure in a tiny gold string bikini.

“For her unforgettable SI Swimsuit debut and 2025 Issue cover, Jordan Chiles was photographed by Ben Horton at The Boca Raton in Florida,” the brand captioned its Sunday, December 21 share to X (formerly Twitter).

An accompanying photo gallery flaunted Chiles' steamiest looks from the shoot.

The two-time Olympic medalist — team silver in Tokyo and team gold in Paris — had a big year. Not only was she on the cover of SI Swim, but she made it to the finals of Dancing with the Stars, where she competed against Alix Earle, who also appears in the current issue.

“Our SI Swimsuit fashion team styled this Florida concept with a minimalist lens, amplifying crisp color palettes, edgy cutouts and clean lines, which shaped the visual language,” reads a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit article about Chiles’ photoshoot. “Chiles dazzled in vibrant shades and daring silhouettes while exuding true power and charisma, which is exactly what makes her the perfect cover model.”
