From the House of Mouse to the beach — Hilary Duff’s comeback now includes a coveted cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue . The magazine revealed Tuesday that the Disney Channel alum, 38, was photographed in South Caicos as one of four cover models for the 2026 issue , along with influencer Alix Earle, Emmy winner Tiffany Haddish , and model Nicole Williams English. “Our four cover models … redefine what you might expect from the SI Swimsuit Issue, and that’s exactly what makes this moment so exciting,” editor in chief MJ Day wrote in the issue’s Editor’s Letter. The goal is never sameness. It’s the opposite. These women possess relevance, resilience and range that extend far beyond what the world expects of them.” Day praised the “Lizzie McGuire” star’s career trajectory as “its own form of quiet rebellion, in which she continues to reinvent herself, leaning into each season with confidence, humor and grace.” Tiffany Haddish walks the runway at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at W South Beach on May 30, 2026 in Miami Beach, Florida.

The “Why Not” singer will also be playing New York City this summer, with two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 5 and 6. The four women gracing this year’s Swimsuit Issue cover, as well as the 30 featured within the issue show “there is no single blueprint for success or happiness,” said Day. “It’s also a reminder that there is no expiration date. No rulebook. That evolution looks different for everyone, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful.” Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky Print (Opens in new window) Print Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on X (Opens in new window) X Most Popular Most Popular Actor Jaime Pressly was asked multiple times to leave San Jose hotel lobby: report Actor Jaime Pressly was asked multiple times to leave San Jose hotel lobby: report Man and woman charged with setting up San Leandro drug dealer who was shot during robbery Man and woman charged with setting up San Leandro drug dealer who was shot during robbery 8-story mixed use building for downtown Walnut Creek gets approval 8-story mixed use building for downtown Walnut Creek gets approval Eye on the Hills: Longtime Thai restaurant closes in Oakland’s Montclair Eye on the Hills: Longtime Thai restaurant closes in Oakland's Montclair Costco Next is gone without warning, a surprise to members Costco Next is gone without warning, a surprise to members ‘Resistance carried consequences’: Lawsuit claims Cal softball coach pursued sexual relationship with pitcher ‘Resistance carried consequences’: Lawsuit claims Cal softball coach pursued sexual relationship with pitcher Lionel Richie, set to play the Bay Area, hospitalized in intensive care Lionel Richie, set to play the Bay Area, hospitalized in intensive care High school football rankings Week 2, 2026: Bay Area News Group Top 25 High school football rankings Week 2, 2026: Bay Area News Group Top 25 ‘It immediately started attacking me:’ Otter leaves Lake Tahoe swimmer bleeding ‘It immediately started attacking me:’ Otter leaves Lake Tahoe swimmer bleeding Bicyclist dies following collision with car in Hayward Bicyclist dies following collision with car in Hayward
