Kate Upton has been Sports Illustrated's go-to gal for the past two years when it comes to swimsuit issues, but this year Upton was bumped in favor of a holy trinity of beauties.
Nina Agdal, Lily Aldridge, and Chrissy Teigen can be seen on the cover of the newest edition of Sports Illustrated's most-anticipated annual issue wearing very little-and enjoying it. According to Teigen there wasn't any jealousy or animosity among the trio about sharing the cover space either.
"We really, honestly liked each other," Teigen said. "Of course you are going to hear that from anybody who does a group shot, but this time it's true. The connection was natural and the mood was fun."
As Teigen was shooting she said she realized that there was cover potential for the 28-year-old SI veteran.
"It's been many years that I've been doing this now and this was the first shoot where I was like, 'This may actually have cover potential. We had this perfect water, perfect time of day, perfect light, perfect look, perfect suits, perfect everything. And with James Macari shooting, I just sensed it was going to turn out right."
Aldridge is the freshest face; despite this being her first appearance in SI's iconic issue, she is well known for her work with Victoria's Secret. "We had been on the island for a few days by that point and had had so much fun together. That day we went to a smaller island where the light was beautiful, and we each took turns posing in the middle," Aldridge said.
The stunning ladies wouldn't budge when asked who is really considered the "cover model" this year among the three. "All of us!" Aldridge said before Teigen chimed in.
"If I were to pick . . . I would have to say our butts won it."
