/
Updated Aug. 6, 2020: Victoria’s Secret star Josephine Skriver was named Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Rookie of the Year today, Aug. 5. The people have spoken!!
Josephine Skriver made her stunning SI Swim debut on the beaches of Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic, lensed by Kate Powers.
“While many know Josephine as an iconic model who has worked with some of the biggest brands, her endeavors reach far beyond just that,” says SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day. “Aside from being a remarkable model, she is a well-known advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, a humanitarian, and a role model who shows up for the SI Swimsuit brand in an incredibly meaningful way. In her first year alone, she hosted our first-ever Super Bowl Sirius radio show, acted as our official Super Bowl correspondent and used her platform to join in our mission of changing the cultural conversation around beauty. Josephine exemplifies what it means to be an SI Swimsuit model and we couldn’t be happier to name her our 2020 Rookie of the Year!”
