Hilary Duff has made a splashy entrance into the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit scene, donning an elegant swimsuit for her debut.
At 38, Duff showcased her figure in a sophisticated off-white one-piece by OYE Swimwear. The suit, characterized by its deep neckline, halter straps, and playful back design, graces the cover of the 2026 SI Swimsuit issue. This much-anticipated edition will be available on newsstands starting Thursday, May 14, with a nationwide release set for May 26.
The photoshoot, conducted by Kat Irlin in the picturesque South Caicos, Turks and Caicos, captured Duff with a natural makeup palette—highlighting her glowing skin, well-groomed brows, and sun-kissed cheeks. Her signature blonde locks cascaded in soft, beachy waves.
Throughout the session, Duff also captivated in a semi-transparent white Skims tee, which subtly revealed a black Riot Swim bikini top beneath. Striking a dramatic pose, she leaned against a window, her gaze thoughtful and intense.
Adding to the allure, Duff sizzled in a vibrant red one-piece from Vitamin A, featuring a squared neckline and delicate spaghetti straps that she allowed to slip alluringly off her shoulder. With a radiant smile, she posed on the beach, her hair flowing freely in the breeze.
