The stars of Sports Illustrated’s latest swimsuit issue were out in full force in New York City on Thursday night.
Ahead of the upcoming release of the highly anticipated swimsuit issue, sports stars, models and influencers walked the red carpet for a lavish party at the Hard Rock Hotel in the heart of Manhattan.
The stars of the 60th anniversary issue have been teasing about the release all week, but gathered in the Big Apple for the official launch.
Among them were Brittany Mahomes and her husband Patrick. However, the three-time Super Bowl winner and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback stood briefly to the side as his wife posed for photos.
LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne was among the guests. The social media sensation, who has built an army of fans in recent years, is currently thinking about what comes next for her.

She is a gymnast at LSU and has the option of returning to college for another year. However, she recently had plenty to celebrate when boyfriend Paul Skenes made his MLB debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Also in attendance was golf influencer Paige Spiranac.
The 31-year-old shot one of several covers available for the launch and was clearly pleased with the honor.
She shared a photo of the cover with her four million Instagram followers and wrote: “Ah the Sports Illustrated 60th anniversary swimsuit cover!”
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated unveiled its four cover models.
Among them was Gayle King, who showed off her stunning swimsuit when she made her debut on the cover of the magazine at the age of 69.
This year’s cover stars include veterans Kate Upton, Hunter McGrady and Chrissy Teigen.

All four were pictured at the event on Thursday night, with Teigen’s husband John Legend walking the red carpet. Martha Stewart was also on the red carpet and posed with Upton.
Logan Paul and his fiancée Nina Agdal were also there.
The couple are expecting their first child and the WWE star placed his hand on her stomach as they posed for a photo together.
Mahomes celebrated the launch earlier this week by sharing a video of her photoshoot alongside a Taylor Swift song.
Mahomes and Swift have built a friendship over the past year since the singer began dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce, and Brittany shared the footage to her Instagram on Tuesday of the Swift song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
The 28-year-old Mahomes, a mother of two, traveled to Belize for the shoot a few months ago, but took the latest SI launch as an opportunity to remember the photos.
In a separate Instagram post, Mahomes wrote, “What an honor to join the Sports Illustrated family! I am so grateful for the amazing team of women who provide us with this incredible platform to be our most authentic selves.”
