Overview
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit named Lizzo its July 2026 digital cover star, and the magazine published her Miami shoot photographed by Robin Harper at a private Spanish‑style waterfront mansion and aboard a Residence Yacht Club yacht on Tuesday.
- The two‑day photo shoot followed Lizzo’s participation in the SI Swimsuit Runway Show during Miami Swim Week in May and included multiple looks from her Yitty Swim collection.
- Fans and several fellow SI Swimsuit models posted quick, largely positive reactions to the digital reveal after the magazine shared behind‑the‑scenes footage and cover images online.
- The cover comes during a busy stretch for Lizzo as she promotes her latest album, B*tch, which was released on June 5, and balances public projects that expand beyond music.
- The appearance underscores continuing shifts in mainstream body representation by centering size‑inclusive swimwear and could boost visibility and commercial momentum for Yitty while keeping Lizzo prominent across fashion, publishing and film projects.
