Sports Illustrated

And even that an absolutely stunning 56-year-old babe will appear in a Swimsuits For All ad in the magazine.Now, even more exciting news has surfaced: 31-year-old Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn will pose in the mag wearing nothing but body paint.

In Vonn’s first Swimsuit Issue appearance since 2010, she’ll flaunt a “swimsuit” made of body paint alongside fellow body-painted athletes Rousey and tennis player Caroline Wozniacki. In an Instagram post sharing the news, she included a cheerful body-positive message. “Proud to be in this issue with such strong, beautiful and amazing athletes!” she wrote to her followers. “Size doesn’t matter, be confident in your own skin!”

That’s a lot of awesomeness crammed into just one issue.

It’s so refreshing to see SI celebrate an increasingly diverse range of beautiful shapes and sizes. Here’s to an even more historic issue next year!
