Women athletes stole the spotlight at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch Party held in New York on Thursday.

Former LSU gymnast Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, alongside Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, dazzled as they posed together at Hard Rock Hotel.

Dunne and Chiles, along with Academy Award nominee Salma Hayek and entrepreneur Lauren Chan, are this year’s cover stars.

Dunne looked stunning in a strapless mini dress.

Chiles was beautiful in a black dress with leg slit and cut-outs.

Dunne met up with Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, who made her SI Swimsuit debut in the 2025 issue.

After an outfit change it was time for the after party.

Dunne, who is a New Jersey native, changed into a sheer black dress with a white crop and shorts underneath.

The former NCAA champ posed for photos with rapper 50 Cent, who was spotted pouring champagne into her glass and later performed.

Chiles and Hayek were dancing and laughing together, as seen in photos from the party.

The pair had a lot to celebrate after making their SI Swimsuit debuts.

A first-time cover star, Chan returned for her third consecutive year with the franchise.

This marks Dunne’s first SI Swimsuit cover and her third consecutive appearance in the magazine.

Dunne and more Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models have been promoting the new issue at various events in New York.
