Kim Petras looks fabulous in gold bikini top as she models for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover – and announces release date of highly anticipated third studio album
Kim Petras looked fabulous as she posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit on Monday — before announcing the release date of her major-label debut album.
The Unholy singer, 30, sparkled in a shimmering gold bikini top and showed off her toned midriff as she posed in a pool while striking a sultry pose.
Her platinum locks were styled in a tight side part and she wore a radiant makeup palette.
The star joins a host of A-listers, including Martha Stewart and Megan Fox in the iconic swimsuit bible.
The bathing suit photoshoot comes as the star announced her much-anticipated third studio album — and first on a major label — writing on Twitter, “The story begins June 23rd. Feed the beast.’

The tweet was accompanied by a snap of a sword leaning on some obsidian rocks.
Petras rose to worldwide fame thanks to her performance on Unholy, which was released in September 2022 as the second single from Smith’s fourth studio album, Gloria.
She made music history on Feb. 5 when she became the first transgender woman to win Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys.
During her emotional acceptance speech, German singer-songwriter Petras thanked pop music icon and LGBTQ+ advocate Madonna, and paid tribute to the late artist SOPHIE for her inspiration.
She said: ‘I am the first transgender woman to win this award; I want to thank all the incredible transgender legends who have kicked these doors open for me.”
“Especially SOPHIE, my friend who passed away two years ago, who told me this would happen and who always believed in me. Thank you so much for your inspiration, SOPHIE. I adore you and your inspiration will always be in my music.”
She thanked Madonna “for her fight for LGBTQ rights” and then turned her attention to her own mother.
In July 2022, Petras confirmed that her third studio album Problématique had been scrapped.
The following month, many songs believed to be on the album leaked online with Petra’s tweeting, “It’s okay if you want to listen to the leaks… I’m not going to release any music anyway, I’m f****d .’
