Sports Illustrated 'Swimsuit' Issue 2021 : Megan Thee Stallion, Naomi Osaka & Leyna Bloom

[Ivancica]

Considering that Megan Thee Stallion looks vulgar as usual and Naomi Osaka (although a GREAT tennis player!) simply is not a model material, the obvious choice is Leyna Bloom who, in my opinion, looks/poses far superior than the previous two!

I agree with all of this.

I don’t think Meg looks vulgar. I think she looks hot and just like every other cover model. Have you seen the 2015 cover of the magazine? That was “vulgar”.

I don’t like how Naomi Osaka photographs but I’m sure there are people who are into her and will buy her cover.

This was an improvement though. Last year’s cover was so disappointing. None of the models photographed well and they all had the same look. I also agree that they need better photography and editing. I hate the colors they do.
I also want Gigi Hadid to get a cover. She did great work for the magazine a few years ago

[[Piece Of Me]]

Why do people on here still think it's okay to call a woman on a cover "vulgar"; the only thing that's vulgar is mean comments like that.

The third cover would be okay if it weren't for the mouth posing which makes it fall into the vulgar territory. Megan...neither here nor there, she has had better covers. Naomi Osaka is a hard subject to photograph and that cheap looking swimsuit is making her no favors.

The editorials all blend into one, I know this is a very commercial rag but I think they could have at least tried different lighting other than that soft-p*rn soft-focus sunset one.

I love Meghan's cover the most. I love the unapologetic sexuality to it.

 

[reesewu]

So projecting sexuality is considered vulgar and yet we’re still complaining that today’s fashion lacks sex because everything is so PC? Interesting…

When did SI stop using real models as covergirls? Should use those unemployed Victoria Secret angels because they're natural at this.
