Chrissy Teigen, the current Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model, has expressed her desire for singer Sabrina Carpenter to grace the cover next. In an interview with People, Teigen enthusiastically endorsed Carpenter, highlighting her admiration for the “Espresso” singer. Teigen praised Carpenter’s music, revealing that both she and her children are currently obsessed with it. However, she jokingly hoped that her kids had not yet been exposed to Carpenter’s more provocative lyrics.
Sabrina Carpenter’s comfort with posing in revealing clothing was demonstrated recently in a campaign with Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS company. This experience suggests that Carpenter would be a natural fit for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, given the magazine’s history of featuring models in swimsuits. Despite facing criticism from Taylor Swift’s fans for collaborating with Swift’s perceived rival, Carpenter quickly dispelled any rumors of tension between her and Swift.
Besides expressing her support for Sabrina Carpenter, Chrissy Teigen also shared her thoughts on the direction she would like to see Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue take. Teigen mentioned her desire to see former models make a comeback in the magazine, similar to her own return earlier this year. Additionally, she suggested that Sports Illustrated incorporate political themes into its content. Teigen even proposed an unconventional idea of inviting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be the first male to pose for the magazine.
Whether Sabrina Carpenter will ultimately embrace the opportunity to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit remains to be seen. Teigen’s endorsement certainly puts Carpenter on the radar for future consideration. If Carpenter agrees to the offer, it will be interesting to see how she channels her “Wildside” persona for the magazine’s iconic photoshoot. Only time will tell if Carpenter will seize this chance to make a splash in the world of swimsuit modeling.
